关于would sooner等短语的区别

就固定结构而言，你提到的六个短语这里只包括三种类型。

1、would sooner 本意是“愿意尽早”，也就是“宁可/宁愿”，和would rather或had rather表达的是同一意思（参看上次的分析）。

※ 常与 than 连用，表示“宁可…也不”，例如：

* The soldier would sooner die than surrender. 这个战士宁死不降。

* They would sooner starve to death than eat food handed out in contempt. 他们宁愿饿死也不食嗟来之食。

* I would sooner go to bed earlier than do such a thing. 我宁可早早睡觉也不愿干这样的事。

※ 有时在语境明确的前提下， than从句常省去，上面的例句就可以改写为如下：

* The soldier would sooner die. 这个战士宁可死去。

* They would sooner starve to death. 他们宁愿饿死。

* I would sooner go to bed earlier. 我宁可睡觉。

2、sooner … than

1） 在否定结构no sooner 中，than引导比较状语从句，表示“刚一…就/没等…就”。

※“no sooner + 过去式 + than”表示主从句中动作在同时发生。如：

* No sooner learned than (it is) forgotten 边学边忘.

* No sooner said than done, procrastination is the most time. 说干就干，拖延就是浪费时间。

* When he said he wanted to go to the zoo on his birthday it was no sooner said than (it was) done. 他一说他生日那天想去动物园，立刻就照做了。

※“no sooner + 过去完成式 + than”表示主从句中动作几乎就在同时发生。如：

* He had no sooner come than she left 他刚一到，她就离开了。

* I had no sooner left than she called 我刚走她就打来了电话

* He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there. 他刚一回来便买下了一幢房子住了进去。

※ 以上句式还可以用倒装结构，如：

* No sooner had we set out than a thunderstorm broke. 我们刚出发就碰上了一阵雷雨。

* No sooner had I lain down than the telephone rang. 我刚躺下, 电话铃就响了。

* No sooner had he arrived than the trouble started. 他刚一到，麻烦就来了。

* No sooner was it said than (it was) done. 刚一提到立刻就照做了。

2）直接使用sooner than，表示“比…更早/比…更快”，如：

* Nothing dries sooner than a tear. 眼泪干得最快。

* Ill air slays sooner than the sword. 污浊的空气杀人比刀还快。

* Some people become prosperous sooner than others. 一部分人先富裕起来。

* She will be here sooner than you expect. 她很快就到，比你预料的要早。

3、as soon as与no sooner … than同义，二者可以互换，但主从句位置不同。

* He had no sooner come than she left 他刚一到，她就离开了。

改写：

——He came as soon as she had left. 她刚离开他就到了。

——He came as soon as she left. 她一离开他就到了。

* I had no sooner left than she called 我刚走她就打来了电话

改写：

——I left as soon as she had called. 他刚打过电话我就走了。

——I left as soon as she called. 他一打电话我就走了。

* I had no sooner returned than he bought a house. 他刚一回来便买下了一幢房子。

改写：

——He returned as soon as I had bought a house. 我刚买下房子他就回来了。

——He returned as soon as I bought a house. 我一买下房子他就回来了。
