I'drather後的句子用何時態

請看下面一道題：“He will come tomorrow.” “But I’d rather he _________ the day after tomorrow.”A. will come               B. is coming                C. came                   D. had come

【分析】此題容易誤選A或B，因爲上文的 He will come tomorrow 以及下文的時間狀語 the day after tomorrow 似乎都表明空白處應填一個一般將來時態。但實際上此題的最佳答案是 C，這與 would rather 的用法有關。按照英語習慣，would rather 後接that 從句時，其謂語的時態規律後接I’d rather you went home now. 我寧願你現在就回家。I’d rather you hadn’t done that. 我真希望你沒有做過那事。“I’ve told him about it.” “But I’d rather you hadn’t.” “我把這事告訴他了。”“但我倒寧願你沒有告訴他。”“He will take you as well.” “But I’d rather he didn’t.” “他將把你也帶上。”“但我倒寧願不要帶我去。”
