Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage (1994)P760 prefer词条认为:over is occasionally used. 但所列举的例句不吻合:… who. Nevertheless, are proffered over the A type or the D type.
幸好还有一例:Bryan A. Garner著Garner’s Modern American Usage P631: prefer. It is quite idiomatic to prefer one thing to another, or one thing over another. But the two things being compared must be grammatically and logically parallel
8.prefer +doing sth+rather than +doing sth.
(1). Michael Swan Practical English usage (Fourth Edition 2016) P 560: 560. prefer
She prefers making toys for her children rather than buying them.
(2).L.G. Alexander编著《英语词汇用法手册》(外语教学与研究出版社2000年10月第1版)P212: I prefer swimming rather than cycling.
9. prefer to do sth+rather than +(to) do/doing sth.
(1).Michael Swan Practical English usage (Fourth Edition 2016) P 560: 560. prefer
Prefer can also be followed by an infinitive (this is normal after would prefer). We can use an infinitive (without to) or an -ing form after rather than in this case.
She prefers to make toys for her children rather than buy/buying them.
I would prefer to stay at home rather than drive/driving to your mother's.
(2).L.G. Alexander编著《英语词汇用法手册》(外语教学与研究出版社2000年10月第1版)P212: I prefer to swim rather than (to) cycle.
注意:(1). Bryan A. Garner 著Garner’s Modern American Usage P631: prefer.
It is not idiomatic, however, to couple prefer
with than, as sometimes occurs with the infinitive: "I prefer to write things out longhand than to type them up." Perhaps this instead: I prefer to write things out in longhand rather than to type them up. Or: I prefer to write things out in
longhand, not to type them up.
(2).The Oxford Guide to English Usage prefer词条:
But when the rejected alternative is an infinitive, it is preceded by rather than (not than alone),
e.g. I'd prefer to be stung to death rather than to wake up...with half of me shot away (John Osborne).
(3).Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage (1994) P760 prefer词词条:Only rarely do we find the rather omitted before than: …he would have preferred to fast than carry it.
(4). ND Turton Longman Dictionary of Common Errors (Eleventh impression 2003)P 265 prefer词条:
✗ Why do you prefer the theatre than the cinema ?
✗ I prefer drawing than painting.
