小编自己在学习英语的时候,觉得英语的用法超级难,记了又忘,忘了又记,非常痛苦。下面,小编在这给大家带来prefer的用法有哪些?欢迎大家借鉴参考!
一. prefer + 名词
prefer sth (to sth)
只表达喜欢某一个事物时,括号里的成分省略;涉及两个事物比较时,加上括号里的成分。下同。
具体如下:
1. prefer sth
Does he prefer a particular sort of music?
他更喜欢某种特别的音乐吗?
2. prefer sth to sth else
I prefer tea to coffee.
相比咖啡,我更喜欢茶。
二. prefer + 动名词
prefer doing (to doing)
具体如下:
1. prefer doing
I prefer watching TV at lunch.
我喜欢在吃午饭时看电视。
2. prefer doing sth to doing sth else
I prefer staying at home to strolling outside.
我喜欢在家待着,而不喜欢在外面闲逛。
三. prefer + 不定式
prefer todo (rather than do)
具体如下:
1. prefer to do
I prefer to stay at home = I prefer staying at home.
即 prefer to do 和 prefer doing 可以互换,可以认为意思没有区别。
2. prefer to do rather than do
I prefer to stay at home rather than stroll around = I prefer staying at home to strolling around.
即 prefer to do rather than do = prefer doing to doing.
以上三种用法可以进一步概括为“prefer 搭配名词性成分 (名词、动名词、不定式) 的用法”。
四. prefer + 宾语 + 不定式 (充当宾语补足语)
prefer sbto do
I would prefer him to be with us next season.
我更希望他在下个赛季和我们在一起。
五. 总结
综上,prefer 的用法可浓缩成两种结构:
1. prefer + 名词性成分(to/rather than + 名词性成分)
其中,如果前面的名词性成分是名词/动名词,则括号里是(to + 名词/动名词);如果前面是名词性成分是不定式,则括号里是 (rather than +不带to 的不定式 (即“do”原型))。
2. prefer sb to do
六. 结束
记熟之后,尽管在写作和口语中使用吧!
助记的语法要点:动词、名词、不定式都是名词性成分!
