【正文】 r than的其他搭配 ① nothing other than “只是、僅僅” They were given nothing other than dry bread and water for their evening meal. 他們只得到了干面包和水作晚餐。 ② no other than “正是、恰恰是” It was no other than my best friend, Mary. 這不是別人，正是我最好的朋友瑪麗。 ③ no + 名詞 + other than “正是……” It was no other person than Mr Smith. 那人正是史密斯先生。 ④ none other than “不是別人/別的東西，正是……” It was none other than Tom! We thought he was in Africa. 不是別人而正是湯姆！我們還以為他在非洲呢！ 【橫向輻射】would rather/sooner和prefer/would prefer的區(qū)別would rather和would sooner之間一般沒有區(qū)別，但經(jīng)常接觸到的是would rather。如：Tom would rather /sooner read than talk． 湯姆寧可讀書而不愿談天。 請注意1）would rather后跟不帶to的不定式+than+不帶 to的不定式，而prefer后跟動名詞+to+動名詞。有時prefer后面也可跟名詞，而在would rather之后要求只帶動詞原形。如：He prefers wine to beer．= He would rather drink wine than beer．他喜歡喝紅葡萄酒而不喜歡喝啤酒。2）某些 prefer+名詞的情況不能用 would rather完全確切地表達出來：He prefers dogs to cats．（他喜歡狗而不喜歡貓。）和 He would rather have dogs than cats．（他寧可養(yǎng)狗而不愿養(yǎng)貓。）很明顯，這兩句的意思并不完全相同。3） would rather+不帶to的不定式有時可代替 would prefer+帶 to的不定式。 I’d rather fly than go by sea．=I’d prefer to fly．我寧愿乘飛機也不愿乘船。這兩個結(jié)構(gòu)后面帶名詞時情況也一樣：I’d prefer a coffee．=I’d rather have coffee than gin．我想喝點咖啡。/我想喝點咖啡，不想喝杜松子酒。4）would rather/sooner和would prefer后面都可跟完成式，但后者帶to。We went by sea but I’d rather have gone by air=I’d prefer to have gone by air．我們是乘船去的，可我本想乘飛機去。（我愿意乘飛機去，可我的愿望未能實現(xiàn)。） 這和 would like+不定式的完成式有點相似，would like+帶to 的不定式的完成式也表示未能實現(xiàn)的愿望?！菊n堂變式】It showed us that what these children need is a happy family _____money and food.
