4.would rather后也可跟從句,表示主語(yǔ)寧愿讓某人干某事.這時(shí),從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣,即用一般過(guò)去時(shí)表示過(guò)去現(xiàn)在或?qū)?lái)要做的事；用過(guò)去完成時(shí)表示過(guò)去要做的事.如 ：
(9) I’d rather she set out to do the work now.
我寧愿她現(xiàn)在就著手做這項(xiàng)工作.
(10) I’d rather you met her at the airport tomorrow morning.
我但愿你明天早上能在機(jī)場(chǎng)見到她.
(11) I’d rather you hadn’t told him the news that day.
我真希望你那天沒(méi)有把那消息告訴他.
5.would rather后還可接動(dòng)詞的完成式,表示主語(yǔ)要做某事,而結(jié)果事與愿違的意思.如：
(12) I’d rather have left a note on her desk.
我本想留張字條在她書桌上的.（事實(shí)上沒(méi)有留）
試比較
(13) I’d rather I left a note on her desk.
我寧可留張字條在她的書桌上.
