would rather后跟什么?
后接动词原形,常省略为’d rather,表示优先选择的一种方式。
其否定形式是would rather not do sth would rather没有人称和数的变化,所有的人称一律用would rather。
“would rather+动词原形”是英语中常见的一个惯用句式,美国英语中多用had rather.would (had)在此决无“过去”之意,它是一个情态助动词,且无词性、时态变化。
例:Mr Li would rather not listen to rock music.
其它用法
注意:
1、would rather…than…/would…rather than…也可以颠倒为:rather than…would….Would(rather)和than后都接不带to的动词不定式,若选用的动词相同,那么than后的动词可以省略。
例:I would rather have noodles than rice.
我宁愿吃面条也不吃米饭。
2、使用would rather…than…句型时要注意“平行结构”,即在than的前后要用两个同类的词或词组,如两个名词、两个不定式、两个介词短语等。
例:I would rather go to work by bike than by bus.
我宁愿骑自行车也不愿乘公共汽车去上班。
1、后接动词原形
后接动词原形,表示“宁愿做某事”。如:
I’ll go if you’re going. If not, I’d rather stay at home.你去我就去,否则我宁可待在家里。
2、后接完成式动词
后接完成式动词,表示过去的想法,通常可译为“(本来)宁愿做某事”。如:
We went by sea, but I’d rather have gone by air.我们是乘船去的,可我本想乘飞机去。
3、后接从句
I’d rather you knew that now, than afterwards.
我宁愿你现在知道而不是以后。
4、用于would rather…than…结构
此结构表示“宁愿(做)……而不愿(做)……”。如:
I’d rather pay his fine for him than let him go to prison.
我宁愿替他交罚款,也不愿让他蹲监狱。
would rather/sooner和prefer/would prefer的区别
would rather和would sooner之间一般没有区别,但经常接触到的是would rather。
例:Tom would rather/sooner read than talk./ Tom prefers reading to talking.
注意:would rather后跟不带to的不定式+than+不带to的不定式,而prefer后跟动名词+to+动名词。
有时prefer后面也可跟名词,而在would rather之后要求只带动词原形。
例:He prefers wine to beer.=He would rather drink wine than beer.
would rather后跟省略to的动词不定式(动词原形)。
would rather后一般接不含that所引导的从句,且从句用虚拟语气。would rather后还可接than,再加不含to的不定式,还要注意would rather后只可接动词原形。
示例:
I would rather you paid me now.
我宁愿你现在付钱给我。
rather 读法 英 [ˈrɑːðə(r)] 美 [ˈræðər]
adv. 宁可,宁愿;相当;准确地说;或多或少地
conj. 而不是
int. 当然啦(回答问题时用)
词语用法:
1、rather是程度副词,用来修饰原级或比较级形容词和副词、动词、分词或单数名词,意思是“有些”“相当”“多少地”,常用于负面含意。rather可和too连用,作程度状语,但此时不可以修饰比较级。
2、rather用以减弱而不是加强其后所跟的词或词组的作用,如拒绝别人请求帮助时,显得比较客气,又如为了谦虚,可用这词使自己在引人注目的场面表现得乐而不狂。
3、rather一般放在不定冠词前面,名词前有形容词时,也可放在不定冠词后面。
