一 : ratherthan用法集锦(

ratherthan用作连词,连接2个平行结构。既可以表示主观愿望上的决择,“与其…宁可…”,也可以表示客观程度上的差异,“与其说是…不如说是…”。例如:
(1)接代词
I, ratherthanyou,shoulddothework.该做这工作的是我,而不是你。

She rather than I is going there. 是她而不是我讲去那里.
(2)接名词
JohnoughttogoratherthanJean.约翰比琴更应该去。
IthinkI'llhaveacolddrinkratherthancoffee.我想我该要一杯冷饮,而不要咖啡。
(3)接形容词
Theseshoesarecomfortableratherthanforyourfriend.这鞋不好看可是舒服。
Youaredoingthisforyourselfratherthanforyourfriend.你不是为你朋友,而是为你自己做这种事。
(4)接介词短语

I'dprefertogoinAugustratherthaninJuly.我愿8月去不愿7月去。

He is at school rather than at home .他是在学校而不是在家。
(5)接动名词
Healwayspreferstartingearly,ratherthanleavingeverythingtothelastminute,他总是愿意早开始而不愿意把所有事情都留到最后才做。

(6)接过去分词

(7)接不定式

Theyprefertodiefightingratherthanliveinenslavement.他们宁可战死,也不肯活着受奴役。
(8)接谓语动词
Hetoldalieratherthangethisfriendintotrouble.他宁愿说谎也不愿连累朋友。
Heranratherthanwalked.他跑步而不是步行。
【温馨提示】ratherthan后接动词原形表示主观抉择,接1个动词的过去式则表示客观差异。
(9)接从句
Itwaswhathemeantratherthanwhathesaid.那是指他话中的意思,而不是他所说的话。
Itwaswhathehadeatenratherthanwhathehaddrunkthatmadehimill.使他得病的不是他喝的东西,而是他吃的东西。

[用法拓展1]

rather than 构成的句型结构:

prefer to do ... rather than do...宁可做。。。而不愿意做

would do ... rather thando…宁可做。。。而不愿意做

would rather do sth. than do ...宁可做。。。而不愿意做

例如

I prefer to get up early rather th[www.61k.com)an go to school withoutbreakfast.我宁可早起也不愿意不吃饭上学.

I would die rather than disgrace myself.我宁死不屈.

He would rather paint the wall on his own than have the painter doit. 他宁愿自己刷这墙也不愿意请油漆工刷.

[温馨提示]

prefer to do ... rather than do.../ would do ... rather thando…/ would ratherdo sth. than do ... 中 ,rather than后面都接动词原形.

[用法拓展2]

ratherthan用作介词,和aswellas及insteadof一样,ratherthan后面跟1个和母句中的动词形式并不匹配的ing分词分句时,它是介词,而不是准并列连词:
ratherthan用作从属连词,引导1种优选分句。

例如:

Theiractionsprecipitatedthewarratherthanavertingit.他们的行为促使战争爆发而不是避免战争。
Ratherthananewcar,heboughtacolortelevision.他买了一台彩电,而不是一辆新车。
Iwouldratherhavenoodlesthanrice.我宁愿吃面条也不吃米饭。
Hewouldratherdrinkwinethanbeer.他喜欢喝红葡萄酒而不喜欢喝啤酒。
Ratherthanworkinsuchbadcondition,hewouldgiveup.与其在这样差的条件下工作,他宁愿放弃。
【温馨提示】A rather than B 作主语,谓语要与A在人称,数上保持一致性.例如:

He rather than you is wrong.是他而不是你错了.

Tom rather than his friends have been chosen.是汤姆而不是他的朋友们被选中.

二 : ratherthan用法

我们认为rather than可以作介词,并列连词和从属连词。现依其词性概述其用法。
  1)用作介词
  其后接代词、名词和动名词。
  Rather than anew car, he bought a color television.
  他买了一台彩电,而没买新轿车。
  Why didn't you ask for help, rather than trying to do it on yourown?
  你干吗非得自己干,而不请人帮忙?
  We ought to check up, rather than just accepting what hesays.
  我们应该检查一下,而不是只接受他所说的话。
  Their actions precipitated the war rather than averting it.
  他们的行为不是阻止战争,而是加速战争。
  "A friend in need is a friend indeed."The message here is thatsomeone who stays with you and helps you in times of trouble,rather than turning their back, is a true friend.
  “患难朋友才是真正的朋友。”这里的意思是说帮助你共渡难关的人才是真正的朋友,而不是那些拒绝帮助的人。
  2)用作并列连词
  常用于平等结构,可接名称、形容词、谓语动词、状语、非谓语动词、从句等不同的词项或结构。
  I like peaches rather than apples.
  我喜欢吃桃而不喜欢吃苹果。(接名词)
  John ought to go rather than Jean
  是约翰应该去,而不是琼(应该去)。(接名词)
  The Shoes are comfortable rather than pretty
  这双鞋与其说漂亮,不如说穿起来舒适。(接形容词)
  She telephoned rather than wrote.
  她打了电话而没有写信。(接动词)
  For 30 years, employers have been hiring graduates for theirdegrees rather than(their)abilities.
  30年来,雇主们在雇人时从学位出发,而不是从能力出发。(接状语)
  He wanted to sunbathe rather than(to)swim.
  他宁愿晒日光浴也不去游泳。(接不定式)
  He was engaged in writing rather than reading thenewspaper.
  他正忙着写东西,而不是在读报纸。(接名词)
  "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" is always fun when you're watchingrather than pinning.
  当你在观看而不是在参与“为驴安尾”这种游戏时,你会发现真是太有趣了。(接现在分词)
  It is mankind's instinct for moral reasoning in action, aninstinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at.
  这是人类用道德观念进行推理的本能在起作用,这种本能应得到鼓励而不应受到嘲笑。(接过去分词)
  It was what he meant rather than what he said that annoyedme.
  真正使我生气的不是他说的话而是他的意图。 (接what引导的名词性从句)
  上述例句中rather than两边多是相同的语法形式或结构,但有时也不尽然,如下列例句:
  I think she hurt my feelings deliberately rather than by accidentas she claimed.
  我认为她故意伤害我的感情,而并非像她所说的是出于无意。
  He resigned rather than take part in such a dishonesttransaction.
  他宁愿辞职,也不愿参与这种欺诈交易。(如上句中的take变为took,则不再表示强烈取舍欲望,而强调行为。意为:他辞去了职务而没有参与这项欺诈交易。)
  3)用作从属连词
  a.引导选择状语从句(adverbial clause ofpreference)或选优分句(clause of preference)
  表示主观上选优。主句表示喜欢做的事(主句常用would, prefer,like等),从句则表示不喜欢做的事。谓语用不带to的不定式,强调强烈的取舍欲望,译作:“宁可……决不……”。从句多位于主句前。
  Rather than travel by air, I'd prefer a week on a bigliner.
  我宁愿在大客轮上呆一星期而不愿乘飞机旅行。
  Rather than go there by air, I'd take the slowest train.
  我宁愿坐最慢的火车,也不乘飞机去那里。
  Rather than/Sooner than follow his lead, I'd strike out on myown.
  我宁愿跟着他干,也不愿独立谋生。
  当主句中有would, should时,可将位于句末的 rather than从句中的rather转移到主句中去:
  I'd rather take the slowest train than go there by air.
  我宁愿做最慢的火车,也不乘飞机去那里。
  有时从句也可以有自己的主语(情况极少);有时从句和表“推定”情景意义的should连用:
  Rather than you say anything, I would speak to the managermyself.
  我宁愿亲自跟经理谈,你任何事也别谈。
  Rather than she should feel lonely, her friends arranged to takeher with them on the trip.
  她的朋友宁愿安排她同他们一起去旅行,好让她不感到寂寞。
  b.引导比较状语从句(adverbial clause of comparison)
  该从句表示同主句的内容进行比较,即同主句中的其他任何成分比较,有时也可同整个主句进行比较。从句中的谓语动词通常不用否定式,一般用(should)型虚拟式。从句多位于主句后,也可位于主句前。其结构形式为“ratherthan+that...”
  I will help you rather than thatyou(should)have any trouble.
  我会帮助你,不会让你遇到任何麻烦。
  I would do anything rather than that he should get hurt.
  我将尽我所能不让他受到伤害。
  I should thank you rather than that you thank me.
  与其你感谢我,还不如我感谢你。
  Rather than that you should go, I will go myself.
  与其让你去,还不如我自己去。
