已上岸,謝謝阿摩 大二下 (2019/05/22): David Thoreau believed in self-reliance and following his conscience rather than blind authority. 翻譯:大衛梭羅相信自力更生,遵循他的良心,而不是盲目的權威。 (來自GOOGLE) self-reliance 自力更生 表達喜好的用法: Rather than 而不是… Rather than 作為連接詞的時候,rather than 前後的詞性跟時態要一致: We decided to order takeout rather than cook at home.(我們決定訂外送而不是在家煮飯。) → 前後皆為動詞 I prefer staying at home rather than going out.(我喜歡待在家而不是出門。) → 前後皆為動名詞 He chose the red shirt rather than the blue one.(他選了那件紅色襯衫,而不是藍色那件。) → 前後皆為名詞 而當 rather than 用作介系詞時,後面也可以接動名詞: Rather than judging someone by appearance, we should also value one’s personality.(我們應該重視一個人的個性,而不是用外表去評斷。) Rather 相當;有點兒 He seems rather drunk.(他看起來有點醉。) Or rather 更確切地說 Tina is my best friend, or rather she used to be my best friend.(Tina 是我的好朋友,更準確地說,她曾經是我的好朋友。) Would rather 寧願;(與其…)倒不如 If it keeps raining, I would rather go home.(如果一直下雨,我寧願回家算了。) 另外,如果是 would rather…than 的用法,than 後面要接原形動詞: I would rather go to bed than watch the baseball game.(我寧願上床睡覺,也不要看棒球比賽。) Instead 作為替代;反而 Let’s not go to the party. Instead, let’s stay at home watching a movie.(我們別去派對了吧。讓我們來待在家看電影。) Instead of 代替;寧願 I played video games instead of doing homework last night.(昨晚我打電動而沒有寫功課。) Instead of 跟 rather than 在表達的語意上的小差異在於,rather than 比較著重對於兩個選項的「偏好」,而 instead of 在兩個選項之間的「替代」感覺比較強烈。 Prefer 寧願;更喜歡 Prefer 後面可以接名詞、不定詞或是動名詞,像是: I prefer a job with a good salary. (我偏好有令人滿意的薪水的工作。) I prefer taking / to take a job with a good salary.(我偏好接下有令人滿意的薪水的工作。) 如果要做兩個事物的比較,則用 prefer…to…,需用動名詞或是名詞 I prefer milk tea to coffee.(我喜歡奶茶勝過咖啡。) I prefer drinking milk tea to drinking coffee.(我喜歡喝奶茶勝過喝咖啡。) | 檢舉 |
