大学英语：We would rather talk about football or the weather or what we had for lunch.

　　在world rather 后面应用动词的原形形式。如：

　　1)I would rather stay at home. (我宁愿呆在家里。)

　　2)He would rather go and play football than go to the cinema. (他宁愿去踢足球，而不愿去看电影。)

　　3)I would rather you didn't tell me the truth. (我宁愿你没告诉我真话。)

　　在第三句中，would rather 后面跟的是从句，从句中的动词用虚拟语气形式。

　　what we had for lunch意思是“午饭吃了什么”。如：

　　1)What did you have for breakfast? (你早饭吃了什么?)

　　2)I had nothing but a cup of coffee for breakfast. (早饭我只喝了一杯咖啡。)
