含 prefer
的其它常用短语:
prefer sth.宁可 | prefer sth. against sb.喜欢某物胜过 |
prefer for sth. to do.更喜欢做某事 | prefer sth. to sth.与...相比更喜欢... |
prefer to sth. sth. | prefer sth. to do.想让某人去做... |
rather than
用作连词,连接两个平行结构。
既可以表示主观愿望上的决择,与其...宁可...。
也可以表示客观程度上的差异,与其说是...不如说是...。
试比较: We sometimes eat rice instead of potatoes. 有时候我们不吃土豆,而吃米饭。
一般省略to
。
rather than
后接动词原形表示主观抉择,接一个动词的过去式则表示客观差异。
和as well as
及instead of
一样,rather than
后面跟一个和主句中的动词形式并不匹配的ing
分词分句时,它是介词,而不是准并列连词。
rather than
可以和would
联用,如would rather...than...
或would...rather than...
。
这时要注意前后对称,即必须用相同的语法成份。如:
I'd rather
+ 动词原形,通常意为我宁愿...,相当于I'd prefer to...
,具有选择意义,即宁愿做...不愿做。
但是,当后接动词like
, enjoy
, appreciate
时,rather
是一个程度副词,象quite
和fairly
一样无选择意义。
所以I'd rather like
不是我宁愿喜欢,而是我相当(很)喜欢。试比较下列句子:

、living
