would rather是什么意思
“would rather do sth.”是英语中常见的一个固定惯用句式(美国英语中多用had rather)。would(或had)rather的缩写形式为 ’d rather。would (had) rather中的would并无过去的意思。该句式常用来表示选择的意愿,意谓“宁可……”、“宁愿……”、“最好……”。例如:
He’d rather work in the countryside. 她宁可到农村去工作。
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。
You would rather stay at home and do some reading this evening. 今晚你最好呆在家中读点书。
would rather与than连用,可构成另一个惯用句式,即:“would rather...than....”,意谓“宁可(愿)……(而)不要(愿)……”、“与其……不如……”。用以表达主语的意愿,强调经过选择后做其中一件事,而不愿做另一件事。例如:
I would rather watch TV at home than go to the cinema. 我宁可在家看电视而不愿去看电影。
The children would rather walk there than take a bus. 孩子们宁愿步行去那里而不乘公共汽车。
在使用“would rather...than...”句型时,应注意以下几点:
1. than 后边也应接动词原形,但如该句型前后连接的两个动词相同,则than之后的那个动词可省去。例如:
I’d rather you know that now than afterwards. 我宁可你现在就知道这件事,而不是以后。
2. would rather...than...也可改写“would...rather than...”,其用法及含义仍不变。例如:
Facing the enemies, our soldiers would die rather than surrender. 面对敌人,我们的战士宁死不屈。
3. 有时,为了表示语气上的强调,还可将rather than置于句首,例如:
Rather than refuse to help you, I would borrow money from my friends. 我宁可向朋友借钱,也不愿拒绝帮助你。
4. would rather后可跟从句,表示主语宁愿让某人干某事。从句谓语动词用虚拟语气,即用一般过去时表示现在或将来要做的事;用过去完成时表示过去要做的事。如:
I’d rather she set out to do the work now. 我宁愿她现在就着手做这项工作。
I’d rather you met her at the airport tomorrow morning. 但愿你明天早上能在机场见到她。
I’d rather you hadn’t told him the news that day.
我真希望你那天没有把那消息告诉他。
5. would rather后接动词的完成式,表示主语要做某事,而结果事与愿违的意思。例如:
I’d rather have left a note on her desk. 我本想留张字条在她书桌上的。(事实上没有留)
比较:
I’d rather I left a note on her desk. 我宁可留张字条在她的书桌上
would rather do than do 含义:“宁可做…也不做…”、“与其做…不如做…”。
would rather翻译成“宁愿”,rather是一个副词,副词修饰动词,而且would后面要跟动词原形。
than的词性是介词或者连词,当than用于形容词、副词的比较级或者数目、数量、价值的比较的时候——也就是翻译成“比”,是介词。
而翻译成“与其说,而不是(连接对比的对象)”的时候是连词,显而易见,would rather do than do中than是个连词,连词是连接前后两个词性相同的部分,所以than作为连词,前面是do,那么后面也是do。
would的用法:
would可用作助动词will的过去式,主要用于第二、第三人称,有时也用于第一人称(详见will)。用于陈述语气时可构成过去将来式、过去将来完成式、过去将来进行式。
用于虚拟语气时,在“would+动词不定式的一般式〔完成式〕”结构中与should用法相同。
would还可构成一种委婉、温和、谨慎的语气,表示愿望、意向、选择等意义,用于各种人称, like后接动词不定式一般式〔完成时〕作宾语,也可接名词或代词作宾语。
宁愿, 宁可;
would rather的用法
一、would rather意思是“宁愿、宁可、更、最好、还是为好”,后接动词原形,常省略为’d rather,表示优先选择的一种方式
其否定形式是would rather not do sth.would rather没有人称和数的变化,所有的人称一律用would rather.
“would rather+动词原形”是英语中常见的一个惯用句式,美国英语中多用had rather.would (had)在此决无“过去”之意,它是一个情态助动词,且无词性、时态变化.
例 Mr Li would rather not listen to rock music. 李先生不愿意听摇滚音乐.
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.
You would rather stay at home and do some reading this evening. 今晚你最好呆在家中读点书.
二、如果在两者中进行取舍,表示“宁愿……而不愿……,与其……宁可……”的意思时,则可用would rather…than…或would…rather than…的句型
例 I would rather watch TV at home than go to the cinema. 我宁可在家看电视而不愿去看电影.
The children would walk there rather than take a bus. 孩子们宁愿步行去那里而不愿乘公共汽车.
请注意 1) would rather…than…/would…rather than…也可以颠倒为:rather than…would….Would(rather)和than后都接不带to的动词不定式,若选用的动词相同,那么than 后的动词可以省略.
例 I would rather have noodles than rice. 我宁愿吃面条也不吃米饭.
He would rather drink wine than beer. 他喜欢喝红葡萄酒而不喜欢喝啤酒.
Rather than work in such bad condition, he would give up. 与其在这样差的条件下工作,他宁愿放弃.
2)使用would rather…than…句型时要注意“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、两个不定式、两个介词短语等.
例 I would rather go to work by bike than by bus. 我宁愿骑自行车也不愿乘公共汽车去上班.
I would rather talk with his mother than with his father. 我宁愿和他妈说话而不愿和他爸说话.
三、在疑问句式中,would rather 与would rather…than…中的would要放在主语之前
例 Would you rather stay here or go home? 你愿意呆在这里,还是回家?
Which would you rather have, apples or bananas? 你喜欢吃苹果还是香蕉?
Would you rather read a novel than read a poem?你宁愿看小说而不愿朗读诗歌吗?
四、would rather+从句,是一个常用的虚拟语气句型 Would rather+从句,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”.引导从句的that常省略.在谈到过去的动作时,谓语则用过去完成时.
例 John wants to see me today. I would rather he came to tomorrow than today. 约翰今天想去看我.我宁愿他明天来看我而不是今天.(句中came不是表示过去而是表示将来)
We’d rather he paid us the money tomorrow. 我们宁愿他明天付给我们那笔钱.
Don’t come tomorrow. I’d rather you came next weekend. 明天别来.我希望你下周末来.
请注意 1) 如果谈到过去的动作,也就是表示过去已经发生的事情在选择上不恰当.此时,主句一般为I had rather ,其(that)从句则用过去完成时. 例 Would rather you had not done that. 我真希望你没有做那件事.
2)如果只涉及主语本人而不涉及另一个人,则would rather之后不接that从句而接have done结构.
例 I would rather have gone to the theatre than stayed home night. 我真希望昨天晚上去看了戏而不是呆在家里. He would rather be poor than have got money by dishonest methods. 他宁可穷也不愿意用不诚实的手段获取金钱.
Henry would rather that his girlfriend worked in the same department as he does.亨利希望他的女朋友和他在一个部门工作.
五、would rather/sooner和prefer/would prefer的区别 would rather和would sooner之间一般没有区别,但经常接触到的是would rather.
例Tom would rather/sooner read than talk. 汤姆宁可读书而不愿谈天. Tom prefers reading to talking.汤姆喜欢读书而不喜欢谈天.
请注意 1)would rather后跟不带to的不定式+than+不带 to的不定式,而prefer后跟动名词+to+动名词.有时prefer后面也可跟名词,而在would rather之后要求只带动词原形.
例 He prefers wine to beer.= He would rather drink wine than beer. 他喜欢喝红葡萄酒而不喜欢喝啤酒.
I prefer tennis to golf.= I’d rather play tennis than golf. 我喜欢打网球而不喜欢打高尔夫球. 2)某些 prefer+名词的情况不能用 would rather完全确切地表达出来:He prefers dogs to cats.(他喜欢狗而不喜欢猫.)和 He would rather have dogs than cats.(他宁可养狗而不愿养猫.)很明显,这两句的意思并不完全相同.
3) would rather+不带to的不定式有时可代替 would prefer+带 to的不定式.
例 I’d rather fly than go by sea.=I’d prefer to fly. 我宁愿乘飞机也不愿乘船.
这两个结构后面带名词时情况也一样:
例 —Would you like some gin?
—I’d prefer a coffee.=I’d rather have coffee than gin.
—您想喝点杜松子酒吗?
—我想喝点咖啡./我想喝点咖啡,不想喝杜松子酒.
4)would rather/sooner和would prefer后面都可跟完成式,但后者带to.
例 We went by sea but I’d rather have gone by air=I’d prefer to have gone by air. 我们是乘船去的,可我本想乘飞机去.(我愿意乘飞机去,可我的愿望未能实现.)这和 would like+不定式的完成式有点相似,would like+带to 的不定式的完成式也表示未能实现的愿望.
I would rather sleep than watch this movie.
我宁愿睡觉也不看这部电影。
