rather_than用法小結-文庫吧

【正文】 to go bad, he sold them at half ，把它們以半價賣掉了。(6)連接兩個動詞He ran rather than ，而不是走來的。注意：這里rather than 后用了walked，而沒有用walk，表示客觀事實，而不是主觀愿望。如果換成walk，則作“寧愿……而不愿 ……”解。would rather的用法一、would rather意思是“寧愿、寧可、更、最好、還是為好”，后接動詞原形,常省略為’d rather，表示優(yōu)先選擇的一種方式其否定形式是would rather not do sth。would rather沒有人稱和數(shù)的變化，所有的人稱一律用would rather?！皐ould rather+動詞原形”是英語中常見的一個慣用句式，美國英語中多用had rather。would(had)在此決無“過去”之意，它是一個情態(tài)助動詞，且無詞性、時態(tài)變化。例 Mr Li would rather not listen to rock 。If you’d rather be alone, we’ll all leave ，那我們都離開這兒。He’d rather work in the 。You would rather stay at home and do some reading this 。二、如果在兩者中進行取舍，表示“寧愿……而不愿……，與其……寧可……”的意思時，則可用would rather…than…或would…rather than…的句型例 I would rather watch TV at home than go to the 。The children would walk there rather than take a 。請注意 1）would rather…than…/would…rather than…也可以顛倒為：rather than…would…。Would(rather)和than后都接不帶to的動詞不定式，若選用的動詞相同，那么than 后的動詞可以省略。例 I would rather have noodles than 。He would rather drink wine than beer． 他喜歡喝紅葡萄酒而不喜歡喝啤酒。Rather than work in such bad condition, he would give ，他寧愿放棄。2)使用would rather…than…句型時要注意“平行結構”，即在than 的前后要用兩個同類的詞或詞組，如兩個名詞、兩個不定式、兩個介詞短語等。例 I would rather go to work by bike than by 。I would rather talk with his mother than with his 。三、在疑問句式中，would rather 與would rather…than…中的would要放在主語之前例 Would you rather stay here or go home? 你愿意呆在這里，還是回家？Which would you rather have, apples or bananas? 你喜歡吃蘋果還是香蕉？Would you rather read a novel than read a poem?你寧愿看小說而不愿朗讀詩歌嗎？四、would rather+從句，是一個常用的虛擬語氣句型 Would rather+從句,謂語一般用過去時來表示現(xiàn)在或將來。其意為“寧愿……,還是…… 好些”“一個人寧愿另一個人做某事”。引導從句的that常省略。在談到過去的動作時，謂語則用過去完成時。例 John wants to see me would rather he came to tomorrow than 。我寧愿他明天來看我而不是今天。(句中came不是表示過去而是表示將來)We’d rather he paid us the money 。Don’t e ’d rather you came next 。我希望你下周末來。請注意 1）如果談到過去的動作，也就是表示過去已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事情在選擇上不恰當。此時，主句一般為I had rather ,其（that）從句則用過去完成時。例 Would rather you had not done 。2）如果只涉及主語本人而不涉及另一個人，則would rather之后不接that從句而接have done結構。例 I would rather have gone to the theatre than stayed home 。He would rather be poor than have got money by dishonest methods． 他寧可窮也不愿意用不誠實的手段獲取金錢。Henry would rather that his girlfriend worked in the same department as he does．亨利希望他的女朋友和他在一個部門工作。五、would rather/sooner和prefer/would prefer的區(qū)別 would rather和would sooner之間一般沒有區(qū)別，但經(jīng)常接觸到的是would rather。例Tom would rather/sooner read than talk． 湯姆寧可讀書而不愿談天。Tom prefers reading to talking．湯姆喜歡讀書而不喜歡談天。請注意 1）would rather后跟不帶to的不定式+than+不帶 to的不定式，而prefer后跟動名詞+to+動名詞。有時prefer后面也可跟名詞，而在would rather之后要求只帶動詞原形。例 He prefers wine to beer．= He would rather drink wine than beer． 他喜歡喝紅葡萄酒而不喜歡喝啤酒。I prefer tennis to golf．= I’d rather play tennis than golf． 我喜歡打網(wǎng)球而不喜歡打高爾夫球。2）某些 prefer+名詞的情況不能用 would rather完全確切地表達出來：He prefers dogs to cats．（他喜歡狗而不喜歡貓。）和 He would rather have dogs than cats．（他寧可養(yǎng)狗而不愿養(yǎng)貓。）很明顯，這兩句的意思并不完全相同。3）would rather+不帶to的不定式有時可代替 would prefer+帶 to的不定式。例 I’d rather fly than go by sea．=I’d prefer to fly． 我寧愿乘飛機也不愿乘船。這兩個結構后面帶名詞時情況也一樣：例 —Would you like some gin？—I’d prefer a coffee．=I’d rather have coffee than gin．—您想喝點杜松子酒嗎？—我想喝點咖啡。/我想喝點咖啡，不想喝杜松子酒。4）would rather/sooner和would prefer后面都可跟完成式，但后者帶to。例 We went by sea but I’d rather have gone by air=I’d prefer to have gone by air． 我們是乘船去的，可我本想乘飛機去。（我愿意乘飛機去，可我5 的愿望未能實現(xiàn)。）這和 would like+不定式的完成式有點相似，would like+帶to 的不定式的完成式也表示未能實現(xiàn)的愿望。prefer用法是可以加to的,但一般用法都是用不帶to的用法.(中國考試也愛考這個,所以考試萬一出了你還是不要帶to)prefer to do than do sth.“寧愿做...而不做...” I prefer to watch TV rather than go 。+名詞——Would you like meat or fish?——I?d prefer meat，please。2．prefer+動名詞Do you prefer cooling for yourself ,or eating in a restaurant? 自己做飯還是喜歡下館子？——Do you like swimming?你喜歡游泳嗎？——Yes, but I prefer ，但我更喜歡駕駛帆船。3．prefer+不定式Do you prefer to cook for yourself, or to eat in a restaurant? I prefer to spend the weekend at 。I would prefer to stay at home prefers to be ．Prefer sb to do sthTheir father prefers them to be home 。I thought you would prefer me not to A to B在本句型中，A與B是平行結構，可以是名詞，也可以都是動名詞。例如：I prefer dogs to 。Most people prefer trains to 。I prefer writing a term paper to taking an 。I prefer staying at home to going 。Thousands of children nowadays prefer doing their homework to a background of popmusic to doing it in a quiet ，也不愿在安安靜靜的房間里做。She has always preferred marking her own clothes rather than buying them in the ，而不到商店里去買衣服6．Prefer+不定式+rather than+不定式1)本句型中，第一個不定式前面要加to，第二個不定式前面以不加to居多。例如： He prefer to die rather than bee 。Older people often fear know what they can do prefer to repeat their successes rather than risk 。他們知道什么最拿手，寧愿把自己成功的經(jīng)驗在如法炮制而不愿冒失敗的危險。She preferred to sew rather than to 。2)rather than 也可以至于句首：Rather than buy a car of his own, he prefers to rent ）than后也可用動名詞：I prefer to stay at home rather than go/going to see a 。I would prefer to spend the weekend at home rather than drive/driving all the way to your mother?，到布熱在家里過更好些。4）prefer …rather than 中的rather也可以移到第一個不定式之前（prefer rather…than），這種用法多見于書面語。例如：He preferred rather to take the whole blame himself than to allow it to
