宁愿......也不......Conjunction for Choices(...

LCTS
About this episode

宁愿+ option A,  也不 + option B is used to express that someone would rather choose A than B, even if A is not perfect. It highlights a deliberate preference for one option over another. It emphasizes the speaker's strong preference for A while firmly rejecting B. The tone often conveys determination, personal values, or reasoning behind the preference.
