would rather的用法是什么?
的有关信息介绍如下:1、在两者中取舍,表“宁愿……而不愿……/与其……宁可……”时,则可用would rather…than…或would…rather than…句型。
He would rather shoot himself than compromise his principles.
他宁愿一枪打死自己也不愿违背自己的原则。
2、也可以颠倒为:rather than…would…
People hope than reason rather than prejudice would prevail in the community.
人们希望在这个地区是理性而不是偏见占上风。
3、Would(rather)和than后都接不带to的动词不定式,若选同一动词,那么than后的动词可以省略。
She would rather perjure herself than admit to her sins.
她宁愿在法庭上撒谎也不愿承认她的罪行。
4、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n、两个不定式、两个介短等。
5、在疑问句式中,短语中的would要放在主语之前。
would rather+从句,常用的虚拟语气句型,谓语一般用过去时来表示现在或将来。其意为“宁愿……,还是……好些”“一个人宁愿另一个人做某事”。
