英语prefer的用法?

prefer用法

prefer是一个及物动词,相当于like better,意为\"宁愿;较喜欢\",其现在分词、过去式要双写词尾-r,再加-ing, -ed,即preferring, preferred,其用法如下:

1. prefer可单独使用,也可后跟名词、代词,意为\"喜欢某人或某物\"。如:

Which subject do you prefer, English or maths?英语和数学,你更喜欢哪一科?

Do you prefer apples or bananas?你更喜欢苹果还是香蕉?

2. prefer后可接v-ing,也可接不定式,表示\"宁愿做某事\",\"特别喜欢做某事\"。如:

Few children prefer working to playing. 很少有孩子只爱工作不爱玩耍。

I prefer to buy new cards. 我宁愿买新的卡片。

3. prefer后接不定式的复合结构作宾语,即prefer sb. to do sth.表示\"宁愿某人做某事\"。如:

I prefer him to do it in a different way. 我更希望他用不同的方法去做。

4. prefer...to...意为\"喜欢......而不喜欢......\",\"喜欢......胜过......\",\"宁愿......而不愿......\",用作宾语的是名词、代词或v-ing,其中to是介词,不是动词不定式符号。如:

He prefers English to Chinese. 比起语文他更喜欢英语。

He prefers swimming to surfing. 同冲浪相比,他更喜欢游泳。

5. prefer to do sth rather than (to)do sth.表示\"宁愿做......而不愿做......\",此结构中,prefer后须跟动词不定式,而rather than后则接带to或不带to的不定式均可。如:

She prefers to stay at home rather than (to)go with us. 她宁愿呆在家里,也不愿和我们一起去。

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
