2013年12月英語六級(jí)沖刺：語法鞏固記憶（10）

would rather do

would rather not do

would rather… than… 寧愿……而不愿。

還有would sooner, had rather, had sooner都表示"寧愿"、"寧可"的意思。

If I have a choice, I had sooner not continue my studies at this school.

I would rather stay here than go home. = I would stay here rather than go home.

典型例題

----Shall we go skating or stay at home?

----Which ___ do?

A. do you rather B. would you rather C. will you rather D. should you rather

答案B。本題考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞rather的用法，would rather +do sth 意為"寧愿"，本題為疑問句，would 提前，所以選B。
