我想各位幫我translate下面句野~!!有關rather than 的用法

I would like to cry inside a Rolls-Royce rather than ride a bicycle happily.

RATHER THAN is similar to AND NOT / INSTEAD OF. You also can use RATHER THAN to indicate your preferences.

For example,
(1) I decide to stay at home rather than play basketball. (home OR basketball)

(2) Rather than buy a new car, I have kept my old one. (new car OR old car)

(3) Rather than take a cab or taxi, she is going on foot. (taxi OR on foot)

PS: PREFER TO + RATHER THAN is not a must.

Please don't use RATHER RATHER THAN

I would rather cry in the Rolls Royce than ride a bicycle unhappily.

通常用rather ....... than時，兩樣取捨的事物是對等的。
例如：I would rather have an apple than an orange. 開始部份 I would rather have(我寧願有)接著便是你選擇的an apple, than 後面便是你較不喜歡的an orange. 留意 an apple 和an orange 是對等的詞語，都是名詞。(由於要選擇的have an apple 或 have an orange,兩者都是用have 開始，所以後者的have 可省去)
而 I would rather cry in the Rolls Royce than ride a bicycle unhappily.中的cry in the Rolls Royce 和 ride a bicycle unhappily 也是對等的，都是行動。由於動詞的組成承接著would, 所以要用 cry 和 ride。
I/He/She/ They would rather............... than ............是基本的使用結構。

首先要說明”rather than”也有好幾種用法，
第一種是連would，或had來連用；但要記得rather是副詞（adverb），所以，必須有主動詞
有一首很著明的基督教詩歌（這歌曾在以前英女皇面前獻唱），叫”我寧願有耶穌”，當中就有兩句是這樣：
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold; I'd rather be His than have riches untold.
你或許已注意到，第一句為甚麼在than後，沒有動詞；而第二句有，這是因為第一句的than之後，所用的動詞(have）和第二句是一樣，所以第二句省略了have。
因此，你的句子可以這樣說
I'd rather cry in a Rolls-Royce than happily ride a bike.
而另外一個用法，就是rather than連在一起用，如Cambridge Dictionary也有一例
I think I'd like to stay at home this evening rather than go out.（我想我情願留在家中）
所以，你的句子又可以這樣說
I'd like to cry in a Rolls-Royce rather than happily ride a bike.

希望你能掌握到rather than的用法！

我寧願躲在勞斯萊斯內哭泣,也不願快樂地騎自行車

I rather sobbing in a Rolls-Royce rather than riding on a bicycle happily.

I prefer to crying into the Rolls-Royce, rather than riding the bicycle happily

Rather than 好多會同 Prefer to 一起使用; 前者有否定的含意, 而後者則是正面的
