[考点l]如何用英语表达个人的喜好或陈述个人的观
点
(2005名校示范卷)
-- Did you blame Tom for his absence from the lecture?
-- Yes, but ____ it.
A. I'd rather not have done
B. I'd better not do
C. I'd rather not did
D. I'm glad I have done
[答案与解析]A 这道题属于陈述个人观点，当然，根
据上下文我们得知说话人还心存后悔之意，根据第一
句问话“你因为汤姆听课迟到的事儿责备了他吗?”答
句是肯定了“责备”一事，接着语气一转(用了but)，就
暗示出后悔“责备”之事，故正确答案是选项A。“I'd
rather not have done.”的意思是：我宁愿没有这样做
(即责备汤姆)。
[归纳]在英语中用来表达个人的喜好或陈述个人观点
的还有很多，例如：
① I'd rather...
② In my opinion,...
③ I really prefer...
④ I can't stand...
⑤ I'm not very interested in...

I really prefer to stay at home in such weather. 像这样
的天气状况，我宁可呆在家里。

(NMET 2001)
-- Good morning, Grand Hotel.
-- Hello, I'd like to book a room for the nights of the
18th and 19th.
-- ____.
A. What can I do for you?
B. Just a minute, please.
C. What's the matter?
D. At your service.
[答案与解析]B 这道题考查的是酒店英语。根据上
下文可知，顾客想订两天的房。酒店服务员的回答只
能是B项“请等一下。”，而不是：A项“你想要什么?”。
因为顾客已经表示了想订房；C项“出什么事了?”这句
一般用于看病或出事故；D项“随时为你服务”。故只
有B项正确。
[归纳]常见的表达主观意愿和打算的方式还有：
① I'm interested to...but...
② I'd like to...
③ I hope to find.-.
④ I'm glad that...
⑤ I don't know much about...
⑥ I think I might want to...例如：

然方面的诗歌。

么想读这种诗歌?
