rather than的用法
1. 用作连词(=but not),意为“而不”“不是……(而是)”“与其……(不如)”,前后连接的成分应该是平行的。
如:
He ran rather than walked. 他不是在走而是在跑。
He is a writer rather than a teacher. 与其说他是教师还不如说他是作家。
You are doing this for yourself rather than for others. 你做这件事不是为别人而是为你自己。
It was what he meant rather than what he said. 这是他的意思,而不是他说的话。
2. 由于既可视为连词也可视为介词,所以连接不定式时,后面一个不定式可带to或不带to(视为准并列连词时),也可用动名词(视为介词时)。
如:
I decided to stay at home rather than (to) go [going] to the cinema. 我宁愿呆在家里也不愿去看电影。
但是,如果rather than 位于句首,其后的不定式通常不带to(也可用动名词)。
如:
Rather than waste [wasting] your time doing it yourself, why don’t you call in a builder? 你为什么宁愿浪费时间自己去干而不去请一个包工的呢?
Rather than use [using] the last of my cash, I decided to write a cheque. 我决定开张支票而不把现金用光。
3. 连接两个成分作主语时,其谓语动词的数通常与前面一个主语保持一致。
如:The teacher rather than the students is to blame. 应受责备的是老师而不是学生。
