Hi guys! Tom here from BBC Learning English and... I would rather be in bed today than be in the office.

We use ‘would rather’ plus a verb to say what we would, ideally, prefer to do.

We can also use ‘than’ to introduce a contrasting idea.

So, for example, I would rather drink tea than drink coffee.

And, I would rather watch TV than do my homework.

用法总结
1. We use 'would rather + verb' to say what we would ideally prefer to do.
用 “would rather + 动词” 描述更情愿做的事情。

I would rather be in bed today than be in the office.

2. We use ‘than’ to introduce a contrasting idea.
用 “would rather + 动词 + than + 动词” 来对比情愿做和不愿意做的事情。

I would rather watch TV than do my homework.
