(答案→)C. rather not take
D. not rather take
解析：would rather没有人称和数的变化，所有的人称一律用would rather。
“would rather+动词原形”是英语中常见的一个惯用句式，美国英语中多用had rather。would (had)在此决无“过去”之意，它是一个情态助动词，且无词性、时态变化。would rather+do，它的否定是： would rather not+do宁愿不做某事。故选C。温馨提醒：would rather后也可跟从句，表示主语宁愿让某人干某事。这时，从句谓语动词要用虚拟语气，即用一般过去时表示现在或将来要做的事；用过去完成时表示已经做过的事或过去要做的事。例如：
I'd rather she set out to do the work now. 我宁愿她现在就着手做这项工作。
I'd rather you met her at the airport tomorrow morning. 我但愿你明天早上能在机场见到她。
I'd rather you hadn't told him the news that day. 我真希望你那天没有把那个消息告诉他。
5. would rather后还可接动词的完成式，表示主语要做某事，而结果却事与愿违。例如：
I'd rather have left a note on her desk. 我本想留张字条在她书桌上的。（事实上没有留）
