would rather的用法

Would Rather的用法

would rather常省略为““d rather”，表示优先选择的一种方式，意思是“宁愿；宁可；更；还是为好”，后接动词原形。其否定形式是would rather not do sth。would rather没有人称和数的变化，所有的人称一律用would rather。例如：

I”d rather stay at home on Sunday.

星期天我宁愿呆在家里。

I”d rather not go there today.

今天我宁愿不去那里。

would rather常用于以下几种句型：

1. 肯定式（would rather do sth）

I”d rather have some rice.

我宁愿吃点米饭。

I”d rather go there on foot.

我宁可步行去那里。

2. 否定式would rather not do sth.

I”d rather not see her again.

我宁可不再见到她。

Mr Li would rather not listen to rock music.

李先生不愿意听摇滚音乐。

3. 疑问式

Would you rather stay here or go home?

你愿意呆在这里，还是回家？

Which would you rather have, apples or bananas?

你喜欢吃苹果还是香蕉？

4. 如果在两者中进行取舍，表示“宁愿……而不愿”时，则可用would rather…than…这一句型。例如：

I would rather have noodles than rice.

我宁愿吃面条也不吃米饭。

注意：

使用这一句型时要注意“平行结构”，即在than 的前后要用两个同类的词或词组，如两个名词、两个不定式、两个介词短语等。例如：

I would rather go to work by bike than by bus.

我宁愿骑自行车也不愿乘公共汽车去上班。

I would rather talk with his mother than with his father.

我宁愿和他妈说话而不愿和他爸说话。

He would rather die than surrender.

他宁愿死也不投降。

I”d rather live here tha n there.

我宁愿住在这里也不愿住在那里。

5. would rather +that 从句

表示“一个人宁愿另一个人做某事”。引导从句的that常省略，从句中用过去时态。

I”d rather you went home now.

我宁愿你现在就回家。

We”d rather he paid us the money tomorrow.

我们宁愿他明天付给我们那笔钱。

注意：

would rather是英式英语，美式英语用had rather。

"no matter +疑问词" 或"疑问词+后缀ever" 。

例如：

No matter what happened, he would not mind. =Whatever happened, he would not mind.

不管发生什么，他不在意。

替换：

no matter what = whatever

no matter who = whoever

no matter when = whenever

no matter where = wherever

no matter which = whichever

no matter how = however

注意：no matter 不能引导主语从句和宾语从句。

但no matter what只能放在句首，在句中，只能用whatever

(错）No matter what you say is of no use now.（对）Whatever you say is of no use now. 你现在说什么也没用了。（Whatever you say是主语从句）

（错）Prisoners have to eat no matter what they're given.

（对）Prisoners have to eat whatever they're given.囚犯们只能给什么吃什么。

however，no matter how

However和no matter how同义，都表示“无论如何”的意思，又都引导让步状语从句，但它们的修辞意味和使用场合有所不同。

However是比较正式的用语，大都用于书面语，口语中较少使用；no matter how则比较口语化，它的语势比however重，故常用在强调的场合。请看下面的例句：

The task must be done，however arduous it may be．

无论多么艰难，这个任务一定要完成。

（试比较一般句：The task must be done though it is arduous．）

I'll take your words，no matter how harsh they may be．

无论语气多么难听，我还是听你的话的。

（试比较一般句：Although your words are harsh，I'll take them．）

However有时可表达“然而”、“可是”之意，出现于句中或句尾。例：

They said that it was so；they were mistaken，however．

他们说事情就是如此，可是他们错了。

与之类似区别的词语很多，例如whatever/no matter what、whenever/no matter when、wherever/no matter where、whichever/no matter which、whoever/no matter who.

whatsoever是whatever的强调形式，并且用法比较正式，大都用来加强否定句的语气，其作用相当于at all。

e.g. I have no money whatsoever. whatever在肯定句中用作定语时，一般放在他所修饰的名词前。e.g. Give me whatever books you have on this subject.whatever是任可的意思e.g I will take whatever you have. however是然而的意思 e.g. source A tells that the king was treating his people well, however, in source B says that the king was cruel and unreasonable.whatever是代词，在句子中可以扮演名词能够充当的所有成分,例如主语,宾语等eg1. Whatever he said that day is true. eg2. He could give up whatever he had to please her. however是表转折的连词，只能用来连接两个分句。eg. They promised to tell him the address, however, in the end they cheated him againwhatever 一般人用的时候意思是: 不管怎么说, 无聊... however : 不过, 这么说吧

however引导让步状语从句时，相当于no matter how,后面跟形容词或副词；as引导让步状语从句时，用倒装语序，即把作状语的副词或作表语的形容词或名词提前，而且如果作表语的是单数名词，前面不加冠词，也可以把谓语动词部分的实义动词提前。［误］As hard he works, he can’t catch up with his classmates.

［正］However hard he works, he can’t catch up with his classmates.

［析］见上述说明。

［误］A model worker he is, he remains modest.

［正］Model worker as he is, he remains modest.

［析］as 引导让步状语从句，前面的单数名词前不加冠词。however→whatever。however引导让步状语从句时相当于no matter how, 后面跟形容词或副词；whatever引导让步状语从句时，相当于no matter what，后面跟名词。反义疑问句的用法句句型归纳
