1. prefer vt. 更喜欢；选择某事物（而不选择其他事物）
prefer sth 更喜欢…
prefer (sb) to do sth 更喜欢（某人）做…
prefer that 更喜欢[that从句中常用(should+动词原形)
prefer sth / doing…to sth / doing…与…相比更喜欢…；宁愿…，不愿…
prefer to do…rather than do… 宁可…也不…
preference n. 偏爱；爱好；喜爱
give preference to sb / sth 给…以优惠；优待
in preference to sb / sth 而不是
eg: I prefer playing in defense.
I would prefer that you (should) not mention my name.
He prefers to stay at home rather than go shopping.
She was chosen in preference to her sister as a volunteer of the Beijing Olympic Games.
注：在prefer to…结构中，to后接动词原形；在prefer…to…结构和preference构成的短语中to都为介词。
2. persuade vt. 劝说；说服
persuade sb to do sth = persuade sb into doing sth
说服某人做某事
persuade sb not to do sth = persuade sb out of doing sth
说服某人不做某事
try to persuade sb to do sth (= advise sb to do sth)
尽力劝说某人做某事（但未劝服）
persuade sb of sth 使某人相信…
persuasive adj. 有说服力的；令人信服的
persuasion n. 说服；信服；信念
辨析advise / persuade：
advise表示“劝告”的动作，不看结果，而persuade强调“已经说服”；advise既可接动词的-ing形式作宾语，也可接that引导的宾语从句（必须用虚拟语气should + 动词原形），而persuade不能。
eg: Try to persuade him to come.
I allowed myself to be persuaded into entering the competition.
I am still not fully persuaded of the plan’s advantage.
注：You can advise him but you may not persuade him.

determine sb to do sth 使某人决定做某事
determine sb against sth 使某人决定不做某事
be determined to do sth 决心做某事（表示状态，可与表示时间段的状语连用）
determined adj. 坚决的，有决心的
determination n. 决心
eg: We determined to leave at once.
His advice determined me to delay no more.
I am determined to find out who is responsible for this.
注：determine to do sth在词义上等于be determined to do sth。但前者强调动作，后者强调状态。类似的短语还有：prepare for / be prepared for， worry about / be worried about。这类结构常考查分词作状语的用法。
4. view n. 风景；视野；观点；见解
vt. 观看；注视；考虑
in one’s view 在某人看来
come into view 进入视野，看得见
in full view (of sb / sth) 完全看得见

7. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience.
1 在“主语 + 系动词 + 形容词 + 不定式”结构中，常用主动形式表示被动含义。
使用此结构须具备两个前提条件：a. 不定式作状语修饰作表语的形容词；b. 不定式和句子的主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系。
2 不定式作定语时，当在句子中能找到不定式的逻辑主语且不定式与其所修饰的名词构成动宾关系时，这时不定式可用主动形式表示被动含义。
eg: It’s a difficult question to answer.
Tom is easy to please.
Harry Potter is interesting to read.
8. A determined person always tries to finish the job, no matter how hard it is.
no matter how引导让步状语从句，意为“无论多么…”，how后紧跟形容词或副词，此处相当于however + 形容词 / 副词。
疑问词-ever和no matter + 疑问词
1 whatever，whichever，whoever，whomever可以引导让步状语从句，也可以引导名词性从句。引导让步状语从句时，可以换成no matter what / which / who / whom，位置可以在主句前或后。
2 wherever，whenever，however常引导让步状语从句，可以换成no matter where / when / how，可以防在主句前或后。
3 however引导让步状语从句常与倒装结合起来。这时，however起双重作用，一是引导让步状语从句，二是修饰某一个形容词或副词，而这个形容词或副词要紧接在它之后。
eg: Whoever says that is a liar. （主语从句）
Wherever she goes, there are crowds of people waiting to see her. （让步状语从句）
She has the window open, however cold it is outside. （让步状语从句）
