Game of Thrones · 第 1 季
vocab10 / 186

preferable

/prˈɛfɜrəbəl/B2

更可取的 / 更好的 (adj.)

比 `better` 更有正式感,表示在两者相权之下「更令人向往的、更合适的」。句中调侃虽然风餐露宿很野蛮,但总比被「砍头」(beheading)要好。

-and I have my crown. -As you wish, Your Grace.
Well, Mormont as brutish as this life is, I suppose it is preferable to beheading.
What did Ned Stark want you for?
