Would rather意为“宁可”，“宁愿”，表示选择的意思，在使用这种表达方式时，要注意以下几点：
1.would rather后跟不带to的不定式，常用缩写形式'd rather。例如：I would rather stay at home.我宁愿呆在家里。
We'd rather start off tomorrow.我们宁可明天动身。
Peter would rather play football.彼得宁愿踢足球。
would rather是情态习语，用于所有人称。
2.would rather的否定式是在rather后面加上not。例如：
I'd rather not tell you about it.我不想告诉你这件事。
He would rather not listen to music.他不愿意听音乐。
3.表示“宁愿……而不愿……”时，常用"would rather...than..."结构，使用这一结构时要注意用“平行结构”。例如：
He would rather watch TV than go to bed.
他宁愿看电视也不睡觉。
I would rather have apples than bananas.我宁愿吃苹果，不吃香蕉。
He would rather leave for Beijing today than tomorrow.
他宁愿今天而不是明天动身去北京。
He would join you in this work rather than stay at home.
他宁愿和你们一起参加这项工作，而不愿留在家里。
4.would rather后面可以跟一个从句，该从句的主语与would rather的主语不同，这时从句表示现在或将来的行为，从句常用一般过去时。例如：
I would rather you went home now.我宁愿让你现在就回家。
My mother would rather we didn't see each other any more.
我妈妈希望我们俩不再见面。
