in fact peter would rather have left for San Franciso than__in new york?
为什么选的是staying而不是stayed

答案错了,是stayed
解析 ：would rather .than.
如果只涉及主语本人而不涉及另一个人,则would rather之后不接that从句而接have done结构,而than后面重复的谓语动词,可以省略,所以可以省略have.
例:I would rather have gone to the theatre than stayed home night.
因为would rather.than.前后应该使用平衡结构.此题中就than后面应该是【have stayed】但是have 前后重复,可以还省略,所以就是stayed
