Question

10．我哥哥以前寧愿把機器人還給商店，也不愿自己修理機器人．
In the past my brotherpreferred returning the robot to the shop to fixing it himself．

Answer 1

分析 preferred returning the robot to the shop．

解答 答案：preferred returning the robot to the shop，這里是說以前的事情，用一般過去時，表示寧愿…不愿…結合后面的to fixing，聯(lián)想到結構prefer doing to doing，把…還給…，用return…to…，故答案是preferred returning the robot to the shop．

點評 表示寧愿…不愿…還可以用：prefer to do rather than do；would rather do than do．故還可以說成In the past my brother preferred to return the robot to the shop rather than fix it himself．還可以是In the past my brother would rather return the robot to the shop  than fix it himself．
