1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上would rather的用法(美国英语中多用had rather )一、概述。1.含义。“宁愿/可,更/最好,还是为好”。2.用法。常+V原,常省略为d rather,表优先选择的一种方式 。无人称,数,词性,时态变化,所有的人称情况均用would rather.3.否定形式。would rather not do sth。例: Mr Li would rather not listen to rock music4.would /had在此决无“过去”之意，它是一个情态助动词。If youd rather be alone, well all leave here
2、. 如果你宁愿独自呆着，那我们都离开这儿。 Hed rather work in the countryside. 她宁可到农村去工作。 二、扩展。1.在两者中取舍,表“宁愿而不愿/与其宁可”时，则可用would ratherthan或wouldrather 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.也可以颠倒为：rather thanwould 例：Rather than work in su
3、ch bad condition, he would give up3.Would(rather)和than后都接不带to的动词不定式，若选同一动词,那么than 后的动词可以省略。 例: I would rather have noodles than rice.4.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n、两个不定式、两个介短等。 例: I would rather go to work by bike than by bus. I would rather talk with his mother than with his father. 5.在疑问句式
4、中，短语中的would要放在主语之前。 例: Would you rather stay here or go home? Which would you rather have, apples or bananas?三、would rather+从句，常用的虚拟语气句型,谓语一般用过去时来表示现在或将来。 其意为“宁愿,还是 好些”“一个人宁愿另一个人做某事”。 引导从句的that常省略。在谈到过去的动作时，谓语则用过去完成时。 例: John wants to see me today. I would rather he came to tomorrow than today. 句中ca
5、me不是表示过去而是表示将来.注意:如果谈到过去的动作，也就是表示过去已经发生的事情在选择上不恰当。 此时，主句一般为I had rather ,其（that）从句则用过去完成时。 例 Would rather you had not done that. 如果只涉及主语本人而不涉及另一个人，则would rather之后不接that从句而接have done结构。 例: I would rather have gone to the theatre than stayed home night. 四、would rather/sooner和prefer/would prefer的区别。 wo
6、uld 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 某些 p
7、refer+名词的情况不能用 would rather完全确切地表达出来： 例:He prefers dogs to cats./He would rather have dogs than cats.很明显，这两句的意思并不完全相同。 would rather+不带to的不定式有时可代替 would prefer+带 to的不定式。 例: Id rather fly than go by sea=Id prefer to fly 我宁愿乘飞机也不愿乘船。 这两个结构后面带名词时情况也一样： 例: Would you like some gin？ Id prefer a coffee=Id rather have coffee than gin would rather/sooner和would prefer后面都可跟完成式，但后者带to。 例: We went by sea but Id rather have gone by air=Id prefer to have gone by air (我愿意乘飞机去，可我的愿望未能实现）专心-专注-专业
