这里是虚拟语气 　　Wouldrather+从句是一个常用的须用虚拟语气的句型：wouldrather+从句（谓语用一般过去时）,其意为“宁愿……,还是……好些“（morewillingly）. 　　如：Johnwantstoseeyoutoday.—Iwouldratherhecametomorrowthantoday.(句中came不是表示过去而是表示将来) 　　Lookhere,sir.Wouldn’tyouratherIwasoutofthis?(句中was表示现在) 　　又如：WouldyouratherIdidit? 　　I’dratheryoupostedtheletterrightaway. 　　如果表示过去的情况,则应该用过去完成时：Iwouldrather+从句（谓语用过去完成时）. 　　如：Iwouldratheryouhadbeenpresent. 　　Iwouldrathertheteacherhadgivensomeadvicesformyson. 　　与wouldrather类似用法的句型还有：Iwouldsooner…,Iwouldjustassoo…,等. 　　如：I’dsoonershelefttheheavyendoftheworktosomeoneelse. 　　I’djustassoonyouhadreturnthebookyesterday.
