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

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。)
