prefer to do和prefer doing的区别是:prefer to do意思是宁愿去做某事,prefer doing 意思为更喜欢做某事。
1、prefer to do强调特定的或某此具体的动作,即在一定的场合下宁愿做什么。
2、prefer doing强调一般性倾向,即对某种行为的偏爱。
3、prefer to do表示暂时性的喜欢。
4、prefer doing表示长时间的,一贯性的喜欢。
5、to do一般表示一次性,doing表示经常性。
6、prefer to do和prefer doing都是宁愿做某事,暗含比较。如:I prefer to read a newspaper=I prefer reading a newspaper.(比起某事,我宁愿读报纸。)但这里“比起某事”是暗含在意思里的。而prefer doing to doing则有明显的比较的痕迹。
