Question

10．我哥哥以前宁愿把机器人还给商店，也不愿自己修理机器人．
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，这里是说以前的事情，用一般过去时，表示宁愿…不愿…结合后面的to fixing，联想到结构prefer doing to doing，把…还给…，用return…to…，故答案是preferred returning the robot to the shop．

点评 表示宁愿…不愿…还可以用：prefer to do rather than do；would rather do than do．故还可以说成In the past my brother preferred to return the robot to the shop rather than fix it himself．还可以是In the past my brother would rather return the robot to the shop  than fix it himself．
