最佳答案:
rather than有二种用法,第一种用法是作为准并列连词,连接二个相等的句子成分。第二种用法是用作复合介词,后接动名词。
1、用作准并列连词的例句:
Bryson decided to quit rather than accept the new rules. 并列二个不定式
I prefer cooking with olive oil rather than butter. 并列二个名词
2、用作介词的例句:
Rather than driving around all day looking for somewhere to park, why don't you take a bus into town?
3、rather than 与would 连用时,构成“would rather...than...”句式,意思是“宁愿……而不愿……”,表示主观愿望,即在两者之中选择其一.例如:
She'd rather die than lose the children.她宁愿死也不愿失去孩子们.
4、rather than 不与would连用时,表示客观事实,意为“是……而不是……;与其……不如……”.它连接的并列成分可以是名词、代词、形容词、介词(短语)、动名词、分句、不定式、动词等.
