语法含义
「〜くらいなら」的意思类似于中文里的「还不如……」，用来表示在某种情况下，宁愿选择某种不太好的情况或行为，而不选择更糟糕的情况或行为。
这个语法常常用于表达对比或者偏好。
比如，你宁愿吃苦一点也不愿意失去自由，就可以说:我宁愿吃苦一点也不愿被束缚。
这个语法强调了在两种选择之间的偏好或者取舍。
英译
"〜くらいなら" is a Japanese grammar pattern used to express a preference or choice between two options, with the implication that one option is more favorable than the other.
It can be translated as "rather than" or "prefer to.
" For example, if someone says "雨が降るくらいなら、雪が降ってほしい" (Ame ga furu kurai nara, yuki ga futte hoshii), it means "I'd rather have snow than rain," indicating a preference for snow over rain.
