英语would prefer 和 rather的用法

Question

I would prefer to stay at home..........（go out）=I would rather stay at home than.........
请问下中间省略号部分填什么

Answer 1

I would prefer to stay at home..........（go out）=I would rather stay at home than.

=I would prefer to stay at home【rather】【than】 go out
【我宁愿呆在家里，也不愿意出去】

一、prefer to dosth= would rather do sth更喜欢做某事，宁愿做某事。
例如: I’d like to stay at home , but Maxprefers toplay(play) football on Sundays.
= I’d like to stay at home ， but Max would ratherplay(play)football on Sundays.
注意点：1. preferto do sth 不仅有人称变换,第三人称形式是prefers to do sth , 而且还有时态变化, 过去时态为preferred to do sth。
2. wouldrather既无人称变化,也无时态变化。
二、prefer todo sth rather than do sth=prefer doing sth to(doing) sth =would rather do sththan do sth 即prefer A toB, “比起B来更喜欢A”，其中to是介词。
例如:Allstudents prefer to take the bus rather than walk.
= Allstudents prefer taking the bus to walking.
=Allstudents would rather take the bus than walk.

would prefer的用法
1、后接不定式时与rather than 或instead of连用，如：He preferred to die rather than(to) steal. / He perferred to die instead of stealing. 他宁死也不去偷窃。
2、注意介词搭配，如： I prefer swimming to skating.(I like swimming better than skating.)我喜欢游泳胜过滑冰。prefer 因其本身含有比较之意，而不可再与more 或most连用。
3、prefer＋名词或动名词“宁愿”，“更喜欢”。He comes from Shanghai, so he prefers rice. 他是上海人，因此更喜欢吃米饭。I prefer going by bike.我宁愿骑单车去。I prefer the white one.我喜欢那个白的。
4、prefer to do “愿意做”。I prefer to go at once.我愿意马上就走。
5、prefer sb. to do “愿意某人做” I prefer you to go at once.我倒希望你马上就走。
6、prefer to sth.“宁愿做...而不做...”. I prefer tea to milk.我宁愿喝茶也不喝牛奶。I prefer watching TV to goingout.
我宁愿看电视也不出去。
7、prefer to do sth. rather thando sth.“宁愿做...而不做...” I prefer to watch TVrather than go out.我宁愿呆在家里也不出去。
8、prefer＋ that从句“宁愿”（从句一般用虚拟语气）I prefer that you should do it.我宁愿你做这件事。

prefer最常见的意思是"宁可"、"宁愿(选择)"、"比较喜欢"、"更喜欢"等, 可以构成以下结构。
一. prefer sth.
"Do you likeFrench?""Yes, but I prefer English.""你喜欢法语吗?""喜欢,但是我更喜欢英语。"

"Which do you prefer, rice orbread?""Either will do.""你比较喜欢吃什么,米饭还是面包?""随便哪一个都行."

注:prefer是"比较喜欢,更喜欢"的意思,即like better,因此就不能再与better, more等比较级词语连用。

二.prefer over sth.

I prefer over this newly-builtlab, and you? 我比较喜欢这个新建的实验室,你呢?

They prefer over new works thatsing of their life today. 他们更喜欢歌颂他们今天生活的新作品。

三. prefer sth. above all others

I prefer the book above allothers. 我最喜欢这本书。

The middle-aged man

prefers swimming above all others.这位中年人最喜欢游泳。

四. prefer A to B

I prefer the original book to therevised edition. 我觉得原书比修订本好。

Those Red Army men preferred deathto surrender in their struggle with the enemy. 在对敌斗争中,那些红军战士宁死不屈。

五. prefer doing A to doing B

Even on holidays Mr. Wangpreferred reading to doing nothing. 即使在假日,王先生宁愿读书而不愿闲着。

注:在这种结构中,to为介词,而不是不定式符号,故其后应当接动名词形式,决不能接动词原形。另外,为了保持前后对应关系,prefer后面也应当接动名词形式。

六. prefer to do sth.

They prefer to spend the rest ofthe morning wandering in the streets. 他们比较喜欢把早上剩下的时间都用来在街上闲逛。

七. prefer doing sth.

So you prefer speaking withoutreferring to your notes? 这么说,你更喜欢不看稿子做报告了?

Mr. Brown preferred spending hisspare time doing some reading. 布朗先生比较喜欢把业余时间用来读点书。

注: 这种prefer后面接动名词的结构,用来谈论一般情况下"更喜欢某种活动",而在一个特定场合下表示"特别喜欢"时,得用上述prefer后接动词不定式结构。

八. prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.

These workers prefered to workextra hours at night rather than leave the work until the next week. 这些工人宁愿加班干,也不愿把工作留到下一个星期。

注:这种结构中的rather than可以置于句首。例如:

Rather than go on holiday to theseaside I prefer to work days and go to school nights. 我宁愿白天工作,晚上上学,而不愿到海边度假。

注:有时rather可以移至第一个不定式之前,而让than留在第二个不定式之前,即为prefer rather...than结构.这种用法多见于书面语言,在口语中很少用.例如:

She prefers rather to sew than toknit. 她喜欢缝纫而不爱编织。

九. prefer to do sth. rather than doing sth.

They prefer to join in thecelebrations rather than going on a visit to the Palace Museum.他们宁愿参加庆祝活动而不愿参观故宫。

注:有时名词也可用于rather than之后,这种用法多用以表示在某种具体场合的选择。例如:

"What shall we have forlunch, rice or buns?""I prefer rice rather than buns.""我们午饭吃什么,米饭还是圆面包?""我宁可吃米饭而不想吃圆面包。"

这句话表示:在这种具体的场合"我宁可吃米饭。"实际可视为在prefer 和rather than之后均省略了to have.

注:有时该结构前后两个不定式意思相同,仅各自带有不同的修饰附加成分,那么第二个不定式可予以省略,只保留不同的修饰附加成分而置于rather than之后。例如:

Mr. Smith preferred to meet usdownstairs rather than upstairs. 史密斯先生宁愿在楼下而不愿在楼上会见我们。

十. prefer sb. to do sth.

I prefer you to spare some time tocome to our art exhibition next week. 我宁愿你们下星期抽出点时间来看看我们的美展。

十一. prefer+that-clause.在that宾语从句中,我们应当用虚拟语气"should+动词原形",其中的should可以省略。

We prefer that each new studenttake a science course. 我们希望每位新生修一门理科课程.

十二. prefer sth. (or sb.)+adj.

I prefer the door open. 我宁愿门开着。

I prefer my coffee black. 我爱喝不加奶的咖啡。
