verb
1. select as an alternative over another

Synonym: chooseopt
2. like bettervalue more highly

Synonym: favorfavour
4. give preference to one creditor over another
1. 更喜欢;偏好If you prefer someone or something, you like that person or thing better than another, and so you are more likely to choose them if there is a choice.
e.g. Does he prefer a particular sort of music?...他有特别喜欢的音乐吗?e.g. I became a teacher because I preferred books and people to politics...我当了老师,因为我更喜欢书本和人而不是权术。
Note that prefer can often sound rather formal in ordinary conversation. Verbal expressions such as like…better and would rather are used more frequently. For example, instead of saying 'I prefer football to tennis', you can say 'I like football better than tennis', instead of 'I'd prefer an apple', you can say 'I'd rather have an apple', and instead of 'I'd prefer to walk', you can say 'I'd rather walk'.注意,prefer在日常对话中听起来往往很正式,像like…better和would rather这样的口头表达更为常用。例如,我们一般用I like football better than tennis(我更喜欢足球,而不太喜欢网球)代替 I prefer football to tennis,用 I'd rather have an apple(我宁愿吃苹果)代替 I'd prefer an apple,用 I'd rather walk(我宁愿走路)代替 I'd prefer to walk。1. prefer是什么意思

2. 偏爱:同一型体、同一手感很重要,我偏爱(prefer)作育龙骨长、平衡感好的鸽子,它可以耐飞,适合当日赛或较长距离的赛事. 你使翔何种赛制?因为我经常游走四方,没有太多的时间管理鳏夫鸽,虽然我也有成功使翔鳏夫制的经验,

词义讲解
常见错误
词源解说
v.(动词)
prefer的基本意思是“较喜欢,更喜欢”,多指在两个或两个以上的选项中优先选择其中的一项,多用于“prefer...to...”或“prefer...rather than”结构,相当于like better 或place before the others,因此不能用more或most来修饰它。引申可表示为“宁可”“宁愿”等。
prefer也可作“提出”解,多指提出声明、请求、控诉等,常与介词against连用,是正式用语。
prefer偶尔还可作“提升”“提拔”解,作此解时常与介词to连用,常用于被动结构。
prefer只用作及物动词,可接名词、代词、动名词、动词不定式作宾语,也可接that从句,从句中的谓语动词一般需用现在时的虚拟语气,但当prefer前有should〔would〕时,其后从句可不必用虚拟式。prefer接动词不定式作宾语时,还可后接instead of v -ing。prefer还可接以动词不定式或形容词、过去分词充当补足语的复合宾语,用作宾语补足语的动词不定式可带to,也可不带to。
prefer在不能确定被否定的事物而需征求对方的意见时,用连接词or连接两种供选择的事物或行为。
prefer与rather than连用,接两个动词不定式时,第二个动词不定式常可以省略to,偶尔也可改用动名词。在书面语中,也可把rather提到第一个动词不定式前面。如果两个动词不定式相同,而附加修饰成分不同,则可省去动词不定式,只保留附加的修饰成分。在特别强调时,名词前也可用rather than。
prefer是表示情感的动词,通常不用于进行体。
v.(动词)
prefer后可接动词不定式,也可接动名词。其区别在于:接动词不定式时表示特定时刻或特定情况下的爱好,接动名词则表示一般情况下的爱好或日常爱好。
v.(动词)
你更喜欢哪个,这个还是那个?
误 Which do you prefer most, this or that?
正 Which do you prefer, this or that?
析 prefer意为“更喜欢”,即like better,故不可再用more, most修饰。
我喜欢橘子而不喜欢苹果。误 I prefer oranges more than apples.
正 I prefer oranges to apples.
析 表示“喜欢…而不喜欢…”时,须用介词to,而不用more than。
☆ 15世纪晚期进入英语,直接源自古法语的preferer,意为在荣誉财富方面优先考虑;*初源自古典拉丁语的praeferre:pre (提前) + ferre (放置,安排),意为放在前面,首先执行。
