没有would like better的说法,下面我给你讲一下would rather
would rather的用法(美国英语中多用had rather )
一、 1.含义。“宁愿/可,更/最好,还是…为好”。
2.would rather,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. 例如,he would rather=he'd rather
3.否定形式。would rather not do sth。例: Mr Li would rather not listen to rock music
4.would /had在此决无“过去时态”之意,它是一个情态助动词。
If you’d rather be alone, we’ll all leave here. 如果你宁愿独自呆着,那我们都离开这儿。
He’d rather work in the countryside. 她宁可到农村去工作。
二、扩展一下。 1.如果表达在两者中取舍,“宁愿……而不愿……/与其……宁可……”时,则可用would rathe do sth than do sth 或would do sth ..rather than do sth 的这两个句型.
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 than…would…
例:Rather than work in such bad condition, he would give up
3.注意,在Would(rather)和than的结构中,后面都接的是省略了to的动词不定式,
4.若前后两个动词是同一动词,那么than 后的动词可以省略。 例: I would rather have noodles than rice.
5.要注意“平行结构”,即在than 的前后要用两个同类的词或词组,如两个名词、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?
追问还有prefer
追答对,would rather prefer 有相同点和不同点,他们有时候可以互换
一、prefer to do sth= 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 she prefers to play football on Sundays. = I’d like to stay at home , but she would rather play football on Sundays.
注意几点:
prefer to 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. would rather既无人称变化,也无时态变化。
、prefer to do sth =prefer doing sth to(doing) sth =would rather do sth than do sth 即prefer A to B, “比起B来更喜欢A”,其中to是介词。 例如:All students prefer to take the bus rather than walk. = All students prefer taking the bus to walking. =All students would rather take the bus than walk.
追问to啥时候➕doing
