重要词组短语

③He said he preferred the country life to the city life.
他说城市和农村相比，他更喜欢农村。 ④Even on holidays, he preferred doing something to doing nothing. 即使在假日里，他也宁愿干点什么事，而不愿闲待着。
2)prefer 不接介词 to短语而单独使用时，相当于 like…very much。这时 prefer后面可接名同，代词，不定式，动词-ing形式等。例如：
①Southerners prefer rice while northerners prefer food made from flour. 南方人比较爱吃米饭，北方人比较爱吃面食。
②Which would you prefer, tea or coffee?

如：
①She preferred to go with us rather than stay behind.
她宁愿和我们一道去，而不愿留下。
