44. I would _____ out today; I am tired and feel under the weather.
(A) not rather to go
(B) rather not to go
(C) rather not go
(D) not rather go

prefer A to B (後接Ving)

rather A than B (後接原形V)

實際上，這是考c和d那一個通用。但沒想到錯的人會在a和b。d反而是最少人錯的……。would 是助動詞，rather是副詞。

事實上…在一百五十多年前。wound not rather 比較常用。一般都是助詞後面就接not。但這個後來發展就是很例外。

Wouldn't you rather go? 像問句就是這樣。(雖然現在規定是這樣，但還是常聽到150年前的用法，因為wouldn't 說完後，又再補傾向更好的意思rather.)

不過，d都沒人錯。出乎意料之外……竟然是錯a和b的人比較多。

就… 助動詞後面的動詞，要用原型動詞。就這樣，這是規定。
