你好!Jason

prefer 的最常见的意思是"比较喜欢", "宁愿", 请注意以下例句的结构:

1.I prefer the original book to its sequel(我觉原书比续篇好)

2. I prefer that someone else should do this(我觉得别人做这件事情比较好）．

3．He prefers to work alone(她喜欢（宁可）独自工作）．

4．They prefer to die fighting rather than live in enslavement(他们宁愿战死， 也不愿意活着受奴役）．

例1说明，prefer甲to 乙的结构,to在这里是介词,引出对比中否定的东西.因此可以说"I prefer staying at home to going out"(我觉得在家里比出去好).

例2说明,prefer 后面可以连用that从句,这是不常见的用法.

例3说明prefer后面可以连用不定式,作为宾语.这是prefer最常见的用法.后面往往不把所比较的事物说明出来, 例4和例3相同,但后面连用rather than,引起比较的事物.

谢谢你的提问!!

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。

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。

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。
