Morning！I am Juliet. Nice to meet you through network. Hope we could spend a wonderful morning together. An hour in the morning is worth two hours in the evening.
一天之计在于晨，若您有个美好晨间生活，相信您一天的生活都是美好的，您会由此干感到快乐的。A hard beginning makes a good ending. 常言道：善始善终。

Last time we finished learning "Just come out and say it." which is a way of saying "Tell me something even if it isn't nice." "Come out" means "become to be known". And we put emphasis on the phrases study which are : would rather and rather than. Finally I leave some translation exercises for you and now I am about let it out in the open.
1 江姐宁死不屈。
Miss Chang would rather die than surrender.
Miss Chang sooner die than surrender.
【点评】
（1）would rather...than和 sooner...than两个非常精彩的短语。
（2）would rather die than surrender 宁死不屈
2 我倒希望你立即把信件寄出去。
I would rather you post this letter right away.
【点评】这句话理解了would rather somebody do something的用法，用于别人在2个选择中，你为别人做出建议性的选择。经常中文说的“最好，到希望”就可用这个句式。
3 你为何不向别人求助而是自己干呢？
Why didn't you ask for help rather than trying to do it on your own.
【点评】这句话妙语连珠呀。rather than doing something和on one's own很精彩的2个短语. On one's own比用by oneself来得更为精彩。此外，在同一句子或是同一文章中，使用不同的短语表示同样的意思，这样是文字不单调枯燥，读者不厌烦。
4 宁缺毋滥。
We would rather leave the post vacant than have it filled by anybody unqualified for it.
【点评】
1 leaver+ something + 形容词 和 have something done 这2个短语结构很精彩。
2 精彩形容词性短语unqualified for something修饰前面的不定代词anybody.
We would rather go without than make somebody do with anything not up to the work.
【点评】
1 词句妙语连珠：go without 没有 do with 处理 up to 胜任
2 掌握了up to 是形容词性短语，否定结构在其前加上not, 共同修饰前面的不定代词anything.
