Examples from texts

But there is little question that Hu would prefer Li Keqiang to become the only member of what is called the “Fifth Generation” represented on the PSC.
但是毫无疑问胡更希望让李克强成为“第五代”在政治局的唯一代表。

He spent as little time as he could there, preferring his Ramallah office on the West Bank and spending time with visiting politicians and meeting world leaders there or abroad.
他尽可能地少花时间到加沙,更乐意在其位于约旦河西岸拉马拉的办公室会见来访的政客并在此或出国会见世界政要。

He had turned against even the cronies. He was queer. He preferred the radio, which he had installed at some expense, with a good deal of success at last.
他是奇怪的, 甚至一般知友他也索性不要了, 他宁愿有一架无线电收音机, 所以他发了不少钱安设了一架, 花了不少的气力绥把机器弄好了。
