prefer A to B是什么意思？

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

prefer A to B与prefer doing A to B的区别是含义不完全相同、侧重点不同、用法不同。
1、含义不同：prefer to do和prefer doing都是宁愿做某事，暗含比较。“比起某事”是暗含在意思里的。而prefer doing to doing则有明显的比较的痕迹。
I prefer to read a newspaper=I prefer reading a newspaper.（比起某事,我宁愿读报纸）,但这里,“比起某事”是暗含在意思里的. 而prefer doing to doing 则有明显的比较的痕迹，如，I prefer reading a newspaper to watching TV.比起看电视,我宁愿读报纸。
