常用句型结构
1．I think at the beginning we' d rather have some fairly quiet and peaceful music.
1)句中“…’d rather have…”是“… would rather have…”的缩写，意为
“宁愿”，相当于：“… would prefer to have…” would rather 后接动词原形，否定式为 would rather not do…；后接从句通常用过去式，表示虚拟语气。如：
①Which would you rather have, bread or rice?
米饭和面包，你愿吃哪一样？
②We' d rather not meet them. 我们才不愿见到他们呢。
③I' d much rather you told me the truth. 我真宁愿你把真相告诉我。
④Would you rather I did it? 你是要我干这件事吗？
2)句中fairly是副词，意为“相当”解。fairly 的近义词是rather；它所表示的概念是积极的、令人满意的，因此多用来修饰某些带有褒义色彩的形容词或副词。如：
① He is a fairly brave boy. 他是一名勇敢的孩子。
②The food in that restaurant is fairly good. 那家餐馆的食品挺不错的。
rather 含有一种消极的、令人不愉快、不满意的意思，因而像dirty，badly，ugly，terrible 之类的形容词、副词就用 rather来修饰。如：
①I am rather tired. I think I will lie down for a rest.
我相当累了，我想躺下歇一会儿。
在用法上，rather可以同too连用(作“稍微……一点”解)，也可修饰形容词、副词的比较级；fairly则不能。如：
(×)This lesson is fairly too difficult.
(√)This lesson is rather too difficult.
(×)His composition is fairly finer than we expected.
(√)His composition is rther finer than we expected.
2．there be 结构
