prefer的用法,最好能举例子,例子从简就好 prefer 的用法最好全面一些

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 like French?""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 or bread?""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-built lab, and you? 我比较喜欢这个新建的实验室,你呢?

They prefer over new works that sing 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 all others. 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 the revised edition. 我觉得原书比修订本好。

Those Red Army men preferred death to 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. Wang preferred 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 of the 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 without referring to your notes? 这么说,你更喜欢不看稿子做报告了?

Mr. Brown preferred spending his spare 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 work extra 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 the seaside 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 to knit. 她喜欢缝纫而不爱编织。

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

They prefer to join in the celebrations 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 for lunch, 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 us downstairs 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 to come 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 student take 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。

1.I prefer rice to burger.我喜欢吃米饭,而不是汉堡包.

6.Prefer+不定式+rather than+不定式
1) 本句型中,第一个不定式前面要加to,第二个不定式前面以不加to居多。例如:

3)than后也可用动名词:

我觉得与其去看电影倒不如呆在家里。
I would prefer to spend the weekend at home rather than drive/driving all the way to your mother's.
我觉得与其开车跑那么远的路到你母亲那里度周末,到不如在家里过更好些。

4) prefer …rather than 中的rather也可以移到第一个不定式之前(prefer rather…than),这种用法多见于书面语。例如:
He preferred rather to take the whole blame himself than to allow it to fall on the innocent.
她宁可自己承担全部责任而不愿让无辜的人受到连累。

5) prefer to do A rather than do B 意义相同,试比较:

6) 用prefer…rather than代替prefer…to连接名词的形偶尔也可见到。如:

有人认为两者的区别是:prefer…to表示一般的倾向,prefer…rather than则表示在某种具体场合的选择。如:

我们喝什么呢?

7) prefer + that从句

prefer的用法~

1、后接不定式时与rather than 或instead of连用,如:He prefered to die rather than (to) steal. / He perfered 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。
