词组 | had rather(would rather) |
释义 | rather , had ~: would ~— 843 1a. 这两个复合情态助动词同义,都作“宁可”讲,只是 had rather 可以带从句,而 would rather 则要用于疑问结构。 例如: I had rather you did it. 我倒希望由你来干。 We had rather the matter were not made public. 我们倒希望别把这件事公开出去。 Would you rather I did it? 你是不是希望由我来干? Would you rather the matter were made public? 你是不是希望别把这件事公开出去? 1b. would rather 又可用于比较结构,而 had rather 则不能这样使用(注:由于两者都可写成 I'd rather 或 we'd rather ,往往难以辩出两者的区别)。 例如: I had rather did it yourself. 这点事,你就自己干干吧。 We had rather you placed youself in other's postion and thought it over. 我们但愿你设身处地想一想。 We would rather go today than wait till tomorrow. 我们与其等到明天走,倒不如今天就走。 Jack would rather starve on a penny than work for that boss for a pound. 杰克宁愿白白饿死也不愿为挣一镑钱而替那个老板干活。 |
