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 going out. 我宁愿看电视也不出去。 7、prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.“宁愿做...而不做...” I prefer to watch TV rather 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。 不能说prefer sth rather than sth 老师总结过的，如下： 1.prefer A to B (AB皆为名词) e.g:I prefer the blue ball to the black ball. 我跟喜欢蓝色球而不喜欢黑色球. 2.prefer doing A to doing B=would rather do A than do B =like doing A better than doing B e.g:I prefer walking to running 我更喜欢走路而不喜欢跑步. 3.prefer to do A(没有比较，只做一件事的就用这个）=would rather do A e.g:I prefer to sing. 我更喜欢唱歌. 4.拓展内容 prefer to doing A rather than doing B 5.注意事项： prefer 有时态变化，过去式为preferred，三单直接加s. would rather...than...无时态变化 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/dd47a3cdec3a87c24028c496.html
