I’d prefer that…与I’d prefer it if...有区别吗

问题描述

I would prefer that you did not come this afternoon. 我倒希望你不要今天下午来。
I’d prefer it if the bed were a little too long. 我倒希望这床稍大长一点。
这两句都是虚拟语气吧，但从句型上看，一个用的是 that 从句，一个用的是 if 从句，但用 if 从句时前面多了个 it。

老师答疑

陈老师：

两者没有什么区别，基本上可以换用：

I would prefer that (=I would prefer it if) you did not come thisafternoon. 我倒希望你不要今天下午来。

I’d prefer it if (=I’d prefer that) the bed were a little too long. 我倒希望这床稍大长一点。

I would prefer it if  (=I’dprefer that) you didn't smoke in here. 我希望你不要在这里面吸烟。

I would prefer that (=I would prefer it if) you did not mention myname. 我倒希望你不要提及我的名字。

I’d prefer that (=I’d prefer it if) the job were a little closer tomy home. 我想要是工作离我的家近一些就好了。

请看下面一句摘自《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第四版的 prefer 词条：

I should prefer that / prefer it if you did not go there alone. 我倒希望你不要一个人去那里。
