柯林斯詞典

VERB 更喜歡；偏好If you prefer someone or something, you like that person or thing better than another, and so you are more likely to choose them if there is a choice.Does he prefer a particular sort of music?...他有特別喜歡的音樂嗎？

Note that prefer can often sound rather formal in ordinary conversation. Verbal expressions such as like…better and would rather are used more frequently. For example, instead of saying 'I prefer football to tennis', you can say 'I like football better than tennis', instead of 'I'd prefer an apple', you can say 'I'd rather have an apple', and instead of 'I'd prefer to walk', you can say 'I'd rather walk'.注意，prefer在日常對話中聽起來往往很正式，像like…better和would rather這樣的口頭表達(dá)更為常用。例如，我們一般用I like football better than tennis（我更喜歡足球，而不太喜歡網(wǎng)球）代替 I prefer football to tennis，用 I'd rather have an apple（我寧愿吃蘋果）代替 I'd prefer an apple，用 I'd rather walk（我寧愿走路）代替 I'd prefer to walk。
