would rather的意思

釋義 寧愿， 寧可；

would rather的用法

一、概述。1.含義?！皩幵?可,更/最好,還是…為好”。

2.用法。常+V原,常省略為’d rather,表優(yōu)先選擇的一種方式 。無人稱,數(shù),詞性,時(shí)態(tài)變化,所有的人稱情況均用would rather.

3.否定形式。would rather not do sth。例: Mr Li would rather not listen to rock music4.would /had在此決無“過去”之意，它是一個(gè)情態(tài)助動(dòng)詞。If you’d rather be alone, we’ll all leave here. 如果你寧愿獨(dú)自呆著，那我們都離開這兒。 He’d rather work in the countryside. 她寧可到農(nóng)村去工作。

二、擴(kuò)展。

1.在兩者中取舍,表“寧愿……而不愿……/與其……寧可……”時(shí)，則可用would rather…than…或would…rather than…句型.

例: I would rather watch TV at home than go to the cinema.

The children would walk there rather than take a bus.

2.也可以顛倒為：rather than…would… 例：Rather than work in such bad condition, he would give up

3.Would(rather)和than后都接不帶to的動(dòng)詞不定式，若選同一動(dòng)詞,那么than 后的動(dòng)詞可以省略。 例: I would rather have noodles than rice.

4.要注意“平行結(jié)構(gòu)”，即在than 的前后要用兩個(gè)同類的詞或詞組，如兩個(gè)n、兩個(gè)不定式、兩個(gè)介短等。 例: I would rather go to work by bike than by bus. @I would rather talk with his mother than with his father.

5.在疑問句式中，短語中的would要放在主語之前。 例: Would you rather stay here or go home? @Which would you rather have, apples or bananas?

三、would rather+從句，常用的虛擬語氣句型,謂語一般用過去時(shí)來表示現(xiàn)在或?qū)怼?

其意為“寧愿……,還是…… 好些”“一個(gè)人寧愿另一個(gè)人做某事”。

引導(dǎo)從句的that常省略。在談到過去的動(dòng)作時(shí)，謂語則用過去完成時(shí)。 例: John wants to see me today. I would rather he came to tomorrow than today. 句中came不是表示過去而是表示將來.注意:如果談到過去的動(dòng)作，也就是表示過去已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事情在選擇上不恰當(dāng)。

此時(shí)，主句一般為I had rather ,其（that）從句則用過去完成時(shí)。 例 Would rather you had not done that.

@如果只涉及主語本人而不涉及另一個(gè)人，則would rather之后不接that從句而接have done結(jié)構(gòu)。

例: I would rather have gone to the theatre than stayed home night.

四、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./ Tom prefers reading to talking．注意:would rather后跟不帶to的不定式+than+不帶 to的不定式，而prefer后跟動(dòng)名詞+to+動(dòng)名詞。 有時(shí)prefer后面也可跟名詞，而在would rather之后要求只帶動(dòng)詞原形。

例: He prefers wine to beer．= He would rather drink wine than beer．

@某些 prefer+名詞的情況不能用 would rather完全確切地表達(dá)出來：

例:He prefers dogs to cats./He would rather have dogs than cats.很明顯，這兩句的意思并不完全相同。

@ would rather+不帶to的不定式有時(shí)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(jī)也不愿乘船。 @這兩個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)后面帶名詞時(shí)情況也一樣：

例: —Would you like some gin？ —I’d prefer a coffee．=I’d rather have coffee than gin．

@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． (我愿意乘飛機(jī)去，可我的愿望未能實(shí)現(xiàn)）
