prefer的用法是最灵活的
prefer: 用作及物动词使用,通常的意思是“更喜欢,宁愿”。prefer…to…:一般表达为prefer A to B:意思是“喜欢A胜于B”。如果要加动词,那么就是prefer doing A to doing B,意思是“喜欢做A胜于做B”。
1、prefer to do和prefer doing都是宁愿做某事,prefer to do是指短时间的,而prefer doing是长期的。
例句:I prefer to play computer games.=I prefer playing computer games .我宁愿打电脑游戏。
2、prefer doing A to doing B.喜欢做A胜于喜欢做B.
例句:I prefer playing computers games to watching TV.喜欢打电脑游戏胜于喜欢看电视。
3、prefer …to …, prefer to… rather than…:两个动词短语均可作“喜欢……而不喜欢……”或“宁愿……而不愿……”其后均可接名词。
例句:I prefer football to basketball=I prefer to football rather than basketball.我喜欢足球而不喜欢篮球。
4、prefer …to …, prefer to… rather than…的区别在于:prefer…to…之后接动词时,均用-ing形式。 而prefer to…rather than…之后接动词时,均要用动词原形,表示为prefer to do A rather than do B.
例如: He prefers going home to going to movie. 他宁愿回家而不愿骑去看电影。
例如: Chensheng preferred to die rather than surrender before the enemy. 陈深在敌人面前宁死不屈。
