试题分析：. would rather do…than do… ，would rather与than连用，可构成另一个惯用句式，即：“ would rather...than....”,意为“宁可（愿）……（而）不要（愿）……”、“与其……不如……”。用以表达主语的意愿，所以两个空都应该用动词原形。
点评：在使用“would rather...than...”句型时，应注意以下几点：1. than 后边也应接动词原形, 但如该句型前后连接的两个动词相同，则 than之后的那个动词可省去。如：I’d rather you know that now than afterwards. 我宁可你现在就知道这件事，而不是以后。
