prefer的用法
1、后接不定式时与rather than 或instead of连用，如：He preferred to die rather than (to) steal. / He perferred to die instead of stealing. 他宁死也不去偷窃。

5、prefer sb. to do “愿意某人做” I prefer you to go at once.我倒希望你马上就走。
6、prefer to sth.“宁愿做...而不做...”. I prefer tea to milk.我宁愿喝茶也不喝牛奶。I prefer watching TV to going out.
我宁愿看电视也不出去。
7、prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.“宁愿做...而不做...” I prefer to watch TV rather than go out.我宁愿呆在家里也不出去。
8、prefer＋ that从句“宁愿”（从句一般用虚拟语气）I prefer that you should do it.我宁愿你做这件事。
