would rather do、would rather not do、would rather… than… 表示宁愿……而不愿。还有would sooner、had rather、had sooner都表示"宁愿"、"宁可"的意思。

例句：

If I have a choice, I had sooner not continue my studies at this school.

I would rather stay here than go home.

= I would stay here rather than go home.

例题：

-Shall we go skating or stay at home?

-Which _____ do?

A. do you rather；B. would you rather；

C. will you rather ；D. should you rather；

答案：B。

解析：本题考查情态动词rather的用法，would rather +do sth 意为"宁愿"，本题为疑问句，would 提前，所以选B。
