A. You are always doing something new, and I would rather just relax.

【發(fā)音】

1. always? 總是? [??:lwe?z]??

*注意不能卷舌，最后的字母s的發(fā)音是/z/

<拓展> 頻率副詞:?usually, often, sometimes, seldom, rarely, never

2. rather? 寧愿? ['r?e?r]

【地道詞組】would?rather + (not) do? 寧愿/寧可（不）做某事

We'd rather go on Monday.

would?rather?= 'd rather

當我們要表達過去發(fā)生的事情時，我們會采用 would?rather + have done 的用法。

此時的用法其實是虛擬語氣，往往表達與事實相反或不符的情況。

She?would?rather have spent the money on a holiday.

她寧愿把錢花在度假上。（現(xiàn)狀：錢已經花掉了，而且并沒有花在度假上。）

對過去的描述：would rather + 從句（虛擬語氣，謂語用過去時或者過去完成時）

I would rather they did something about it instead of just talking about it.

我寧愿他們會做一些事情，而不僅僅是空談。

I'd rather you hadn't called me at work.

我寧愿你沒在工作時打給我。
