在Unit 3中有这样两个句子: A:Would you like to live in a modern flat or do you prefer a traditional house? B:Well, I'd prefer living in a modern flat. 这两句话中均涉及到prefer一词的用法。prefer是一个搭配能力强,结构丰富的常用词。为了便于同学们全面掌握其用法,现将其各类结构归纳如下: 1. prefer+名词/代词 Miss Yang prefers her coffee black. 杨小姐爱喝不加奶的咖啡。 I would prefer it if you did not go there alone. 我倒希望你不要一个人去那里。 2. prefer+V-ing形式 He preferred spending the summer by himself. 他宁愿独自消夏. 注意:prefer一般不能接V-ing形式的复合结构,只能接V-ing形式的一般式。 He preferred she going by bus.(×) He preferred that she go by bus.(√) 3. prefer+不定式 In my opinion, I prefer to hold on to the old house. 在我看来,我宁可保留这栋老房子。 In the countryside she preferred to stay with her grandmother. 在乡下,她更喜欢和奶奶在一起。 4. prefer sb. to do sth. I would prefer you never to bother me again!我宁愿你不要再烦我了! She added, "I'd prefer you not to call me Laura Baby."她又说: "我要你不要叫我洛拉·贝贝。" 5. prefer A to B 在本句型中,A与B是平行结构,可以是名词,也可以是V-ing形式。 Most people prefer trains to buses. 大多数人宁可坐火车也不坐公共汽车。 He prefers renting a car to having one of his own. 他宁可租一辆汽车,也不愿自己拥有一辆。 6. prefer+不定式+rather than+不定式 ①本句型中,第一个不定式前要加to,而第二个不定式前,以不加to较常用。 I prefer to go to see movies rather than (to) stay at home. 我宁愿去看电影也不愿呆在家里。 ②rather than可以置于句首。 Rather than stay at home I prefer to go to see movies. ③rather有时可移至第一个不定式之前,而让than留在第二个不定式之前。即:prefer rather... than,这种用法常用于书面语中。 We prefer rather to play golf than to swim. 我们喜欢打高尔夫球,不喜欢游泳。 ④rather than之后也可接名词,这种用法多用于表示在某种具体场合的选择。 -What shall we have, coffee or tea? 我们喝咖啡还是茶? -I would prefer coffee rather than tea. (在这样的场合)我宁愿喝咖啡。 7. prefer+that从句(从句的谓语动词用动词原形或should+动词原形) I prefer that he leave.我宁愿他离开。 Would you prefer that I (should) go with you?你要我和你一起去吗?
