would rather...than 虚拟语气的问题

关于would rather than的疑问!~

您好!
这里是虚拟语气的运用。
假如你用would rather do than do是表示一个人对某件事的看法。
例如:I would rather stay at home than go out ,这是意思:我宁愿呆在家也不愿意出去。
这里隐含的意思就是他还没有做出里面任何一项决定,只是单纯的表示他的看法。

而你的例句意思是:相比去纽约,皮特更想去旧金山。
用would rather虚拟表示皮特宁愿去到了旧金山,他发出感慨当时要是去旧金山多好。

1.一般过去时表示现在或将来的愿望
I would rather you went tomorrow (now). 我宁愿你明天(现在)去。
2. 用过去完成时表过去的愿望
I would rather you hadn’t said it. 我真希望你没有这样说过。
would rather 是宁可、宁愿的意思,因是在两者间挑选,本身就带有虚拟的口气,且能与had rather , had sooner 通用

would rather 用法浅析



“would rather+动词原形”是英语中常见的一个惯用句式(美国英语中多用had rather)。 ’d rather为would(或had)rather的缩写形式。would (had)在此决无“过去”之意,且无词性、时态变化,它是一个情态助动词。该句式常用来表示选择的意愿,意谓“宁可……”、“宁愿……”、“最好……”。例如:

(1) He’d rather work in the countryside.

她宁可到农村去工作。

(2) If you’d rather be alone, we’ll all leave here.

如果你宁愿独自呆着,那我们都离开这儿。

(3) You would rather stay at home and do some reading this evening.

今晚你最好呆在家中读点书。

would rather与than连用,可构成另一个惯用句式,即:“would rather...than....”,意谓“宁可(愿)……(而)不要(愿)……”、“与其……不如……”。用以表达主语的意愿,强调经过选择后做其中一件事,而不愿做另一件事。例如:

(4) I would rather watch TV at home than go to the cinema.

我宁可在家看电视而不愿去看电影。

(5) The children would rather walk there than take a bus.

孩子们宁愿步行去那里而不乘公共汽车。

在使用“would rather...than...”句型时,应注意以下几点:

1. than 后边也应接动词原形(见句(4)和(5)),但如该句型前后连接的两个动词相同,则than之后的那个动词可省去。如:

(6) I’d rather you know that now than afterwards.

我宁可你现在就知道这件事,而不是以后。

2. would rather...than...也可改写成 “would...rather than...”,其用法及含义仍不变。如:

(7) Facing the enemies, our soldiers would die rather than surrender.

面对敌人,我们的战士宁死不屈。

3. 有时,为表示语气上的强调,可将rather than置于句首,如:

(8) Rather than refuse to help you, I would borrow money from my friends.

我宁可向朋友借钱,也不愿拒绝帮助你。

4. would rather后也可跟从句,表示主语宁愿让某人干某事。这时,从句谓语动词要用虚拟语气,即用一般过去时表示过去现在或将来要做的事;用过去完成时表示过去要做的事。如:

(9) I’d rather she set out to do the work now.

我宁愿她现在就着手做这项工作。

(10) I’d rather you met her at the airport tomorrow morning.

我但愿你明天早上能在机场见到她。

(11) I’d rather you hadn’t told him the news that day.

我真希望你那天没有把那消息告诉他。

5. would rather后还可接动词的完成式,表示主语要做某事,而结果事与愿违的意思。如:

(12) I’d rather have left a note on her desk.

我本想留张字条在她书桌上的。(事实上没有留)

试比较

(13) I’d rather I left a note on her desk.

我宁可留张字条在她的书桌上。

1. 楼主此题错矣。
would rather加宾语从句时才会用虚拟语气。
规律如下:
1)对过去的动作虚拟时,从句用过去完成时。
如:I would rather (that) you hadn't come yesterday.
2) 对现在或将来的动作虚拟时,从句用一般过去时。
如:I would rather (that) I were a millionaire.
I would rather (that) it rained tomorrow.

2. would rather还有如下短语:
1) would rather (not) do sth 宁愿(不)做某事
2) would rather do sth than do sth = would do sth rather than do sth
宁愿做某事也不愿做某事

3. 所以该句应该是:
I would rather go to school today than go swimming tomorow.
即前后都用动词原形。

went

跟前面would rather时态对应就可以了

前面用went是不对的应该是go因为你说的是today,后面也是go,因为是tomorrow。

went

would rather 的虚拟语气,从句用一般过去时表示将来时。在用法上常用于平行结构。
