prefer...rather than...到底怎么用？

Question

我在网上查了查，发现以下几种用法：
prefer to do ... rather than do...
prefer to do ... rather than doing...
prefer to doing...rather than doing...
prefer doing...rather than doing...

到底哪种用法正确啊？好乱。谁能给个标准答案？有加分！
3楼的蜜蜜公主，首先感谢你的热情的帮助，但抱歉的是，我还是不能评你为最佳答案，因为我问题的重点在于prefer与rather than连用时的用法，而不需要prefer的用法。
谢谢各位了！

Answer 1

prefer to … rather than

▲prefer to … rather than（不定式符号to）

宁愿…而不愿…

prefer to die rather than surrender

宁死不屈
1． prefer + n. / pron.

prefer + n. / pron. 意为"更喜欢......"，在含义上相当于like...better。注意：由于prefer本身含有比较意义，故不可与比较级better连用。例如：

Which do you prefer (=like better), fish or meat? 你更喜欢吃什么，鱼还是肉？

Of the two cars, I prefer that red one. 两辆小汽车中，我更喜欢红色的那辆。

2． prefer + (not) to do sth.

prefer + (not) to do sth. 意为"宁愿（不）做某事"。这时，不定式to do可用动名词doing替换，意义相同。例如：

-What do you think of the film we saw yesterday? 你认为昨天我们看的电影怎么样？

-I prefer not to talk about this question at the moment. 我现在宁愿不谈这个问题。

-How did she spend her spare time? 她怎样度过她的空闲时间？

-She preferred spending her spare time doing some reading. 她喜欢空闲时读些书。

3． prefer + sb. + (not) to do sth.

prefer + sb. + (not) to do sth. 意为"宁愿某人（不）做某事"，在意义上相当于would like sb. (not) to do sth. 。例如：

I prefer Mary to go to Beijing with us next Sunday. 我宁愿玛丽下周日跟我们去北京。

We prefer you not to put off the meeting until next week. 我们宁愿你们不要把会议推迟到下周。

4． prefer + n.(pron.) / V-ing + to + n. (pron.) / V-ing

prefer + n.(pron.) / V-ing + to + n.(pron.) / V-ing意为"宁愿（喜欢）......而不愿（喜欢）......"。注意：这一结构中的to为介词，后接名词、代词或动名词。例如：

She usually prefers vegetables to meat. 她通常喜欢吃蔬菜，而不喜欢吃肉。

On Sundays my brother prefers staying at home doing his homework to going out to play with other children. 在星期天，我弟弟宁愿呆在家里做作业，也不愿出去和其他孩子玩。

5． prefer + to do sth. + rather than + do sth.

prefer + to do sth. + rather than + do sth.意为"宁愿做......而不愿做......"。当这一结构中prefer后接动词不定式时， rather than后面接不带to的不定式结构，rather than引导的不带to的不定式结构还可以置于句首。例如：

-How about going to Beijing by air? 乘飞机去北京怎么样？

-I prefer to take a train to Beijing rather than fly there. 我宁愿乘火车去北京，而不愿意乘飞机去那。

Rather than sit here waiting, I prefer to go to find out what on earth has happened. 我宁愿去探个究竟，也不愿坐在这儿等待。

6． prefer + that + sb. + did / (should) do sth.

prefer + that + sb. + did / (should) do sth. 意为"宁愿某人做某事"， that引导的宾语从句中要使用虚拟语气，句中谓语动词用一般过去时或should + 动词原形，should可以省略。例如：

She preferred that she(should) do it alone. 她宁愿独自一人做这件事。

I prefer that you went there with us tomorrow. 我宁愿你明天跟我们一起去那儿。

He preferred to stay at home rather than go with us.

He preferred to stay at home rather than going with us.（此二句意思相同）

他宁愿呆在家里也不愿同我们一块去。
