题目

she prefered----rather than -----to the enemy.
A.dying,surrendering B.to die,surrender
C.to die,to surrender D.to die ,surrending
为什么不是C .

答案

是选B. prefer to do...rather than do...”宁愿[愿意]...而不愿”
1. 你可能被我们通常熟知的 prefer...to...误导了,其实句子里的rather than就相当于to了,避免重复,二者只能用其一.
2. 如果用 to 则 prefer和 to的后面的比较成分都要用名词.如：
I prefer tea to coffee when tired.
当我疲倦的时候,我喜欢茶胜过咖啡.“
3. prefer to do...instead of doing...(of 是介词所以后面接的是动名词结构)
4. prefer that ...should/would (not)... 这个是prefer接虚拟语气.
5. 当对方知道你的取向时,可以省略后半句话.如：
I prefer male teachers(to female ones/rather than/instead of female ones).
I prefer to go(rather than stay here).
