We should know what he meant rather than what he said. 　　我们应该知道他的真实想法而不是他说了什么。 　　注意： 　　1. rather than 很像并列连词。其前后都应是相互对应的词语，但接不定式时，常可省去不定式符号 to 。 　　2. rather than 也可分开使用，和 would 或 had 构成“ would / had rather u2026 than ”结构， than 前后也是相互对等的结构。试比较： 　　1) She would rather have the small one than the large one. 　　她宁愿要小的，也不愿要大的。 　　2) Tom would rather be liked than feared. 　　汤姆宁愿受人爱戴，而不愿让人惧怕。 　　3) Wouldn"t you rather be liked than feared? 　　你不是宁愿受人爱戴，而不愿让人惧怕吗？ 　　但当 would rather 被用作谓语动词后接宾语从句时，从句中的谓语动词应为虚拟形式。例如： 　　I"d rather you came tomorrow than today. 　　我宁愿明天来，而不是今天来。 　　3. :rather than连接两个主语时,谓语动词的数与前面主语的数相一致。如: 　　Jean, rather than her brothers, is to meet her parents. 　　是琼而不是她的兄弟们去接她父母。 　　rather than 辨析: 　　1．would ratheru2026than/other than/rather than/or rather 　　（1）would rather do sth. than do sth. else“宁愿做某事而不愿做别的”，表示主观愿望。使用这一结构时，than前后两部分的成分应对等。如果than后是动词，要用原形。例如： 　　He would rather have the small one than the big one. 　　他宁愿要小的，而不愿要大的。 　　He would rather sell his vegetables at half price than allow them to go bad. 　　他宁肯把菜半价卖了，也不愿让它们烂掉。 　　would rather后还可跟宾语从句，从句的谓语用过去时态。 　　（2）rather than“而不是”，不表示主观愿望，而表示一个事实，不和would连用。注意rather than后的动词要和主句中与之相当的动词在形式上一致。rather than位于句首时，其后的动词必须用－ing形式。例如： 　　He ran all the way rather than walked. 　　他一路跑而不是走。 　　I think Tom, rather than you, is to blame. 　　我认为是汤姆而不是你应受责备。 　　Rather than being punished, he should be rewarded. 　　他应受奖励而不是受惩罚。 　　另外, rather和than还可分开使用，前后词的形式要求同rather than。例如： 　　I am rather bored than tired. 　　我与其说是疲惫不如说是厌倦。 　　rather than还可以表示“而不愿”的意思，此时rather than后总是跟动词原形。例如： 　　Rather than allow the vegetable to go bad, he sold them at half price. 　　他把菜半价卖掉，而不愿让它们烂掉。 　　（3）or rather“与其说u2026u2026不如说u2026u2026；更确切地说；并非那样，而是u2026u2026”。例如： 　　I"ll meet him, or rather I"ll ask him to meet me. 　　我要会见他，或者更确切地说，我要请他来见我?。 　　（4）other than“除了u2026u2026；除了u2026u2026以外”，通常用于否定句中。例如： 　　I can"t do other than obey. 　　除了服从，我别无他法。

rather than 用法小结 rather than 是一个并列连词,用法比较复杂,现归纳如下： 1. 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. 2. 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.现分述如下： (1) 连接两个名词或代词 He is an explorer rather than a sailor. 与其说他是一个海员,不如说他是一个探险者. You rather than I are going to go camping. 是你而不是我要去要野营. 注意：rather than 连接两个名词或代词作主语时,谓语动词应与rather than 前面的名词或代词在人称和数上保持一致. (2) 连接两个形容词 The sweater she bought was beautiful rather than cheap. 与其说她买的这件羊毛衫便宜不如说它漂亮. (3) 连接两个介词(短语)或动名词 We will have the meeting in the classroom rather than in the great hall. 我们是在教室里开会,不是在大厅里. She enjoys singing rather than dancing. 她喜欢唱歌,而不喜欢跳舞. (4) 连接两个分句 We should help him rather than he should help us. 是我们应该帮助他而不是他应该帮助我们. (5) 连接两个不定式 I decided to write rather than (to) telephone. 我决定写信而不打电话. 注意：rather than 后接不定式时,不定式可以带to,也可以不带to, 如上句.但rather than位于句首时,则只能接不带to 的不定式.如：Rather than allow the vegetables to go bad, he sold them at half price. 他唯恐蔬菜烂掉,把它们以半价卖掉了. (6) 连接两个动词 He ran rather than walked. 他是跑来的,而不是走来的. 注意：这里rather than 后用了walked,而没有用walk,表示客观事实,而不是主观愿望.如果换成walk,则作“宁愿……而不愿 ……”解. would rather的用法 一、would rather意思是“宁愿、宁可、更、最好、还是为好”,后接动词原形,常省略为"d rather,表示优先选择的一种方式 其否定形式是would rather not do sth.would rather没有人称和数的变化,所有的人称一律用would rather. “would rather+动词原形”是英语中常见的一个惯用句式,美国英语中多用had rather.would (had)在此决无“过去”之意,它是一个情态助动词,且无词性、时态变化. 例 Mr Li would rather not listen to rock music. 李先生不愿意听摇滚音乐. If you"d rather be alone, we"ll all leave here. 如果你宁愿独自呆着,那我们都离开这儿. He"d rather work in the countryside. 她宁可到农村去工作. You would rather stay at home and do some reading this evening. 今晚你最好呆在家中读点书. 二、如果在两者中进行取舍,表示“宁愿……而不愿……,与其……宁可……”的意思时,则可用would rather…than…或would…rather than…的句型 例 I would rather watch TV at home than go to the cinema. 我宁可在家看电视而不愿去看电影. The children would walk there rather than take a bus. 孩子们宁愿步行去那里而不愿乘公共汽车. 请注意 1） would rather…than…/would…rather than…也可以颠倒为：rather than…would….Would(rather)和than后都接不带to的动词不定式,若选用的动词相同,那么than 后的动词可以省略. 例 I would rather have noodles than rice. 我宁愿吃面条也不吃米饭. He would rather drink wine than beer． 他喜欢喝红葡萄酒而不喜欢喝啤酒. Rather than work in such bad condition, he would give up. 与其在这样差的条件下工作,他宁愿放弃. 2)使用would rather…than…句型时要注意“平行结构”,即在than 的前后要用两个同类的词或词组,如两个名词、两个不定式、两个介词短语等. 例 I would rather go to work by bike than by bus. 我宁愿骑自行车也不愿乘公共汽车去上班. I would rather talk with his mother than with his father. 我宁愿和他妈说话而不愿和他爸说话. 三、在疑问句式中,would rather 与would rather…than…中的would要放在主语之前 例 Would you rather stay here or go home? 你愿意呆在这里,还是回家? Which would you rather have, apples or bananas? 你喜欢吃苹果还是香蕉? Would you rather read a novel than read a poem?你宁愿看小说而不愿朗读诗歌吗? 四、would rather+从句,是一个常用的虚拟语气句型 Would rather+从句,谓语一般用过去时来表示现在或将来.其意为“宁愿……,还是…… 好些”“一个人宁愿另一个人做某事”.引导从句的that常省略.在谈到过去的动作时,谓语则用过去完成时. 例 John wants to see me today. I would rather he came to tomorrow than today. 约翰今天想去看我.我宁愿他明天来看我而不是今天.(句中came不是表示过去而是表示将来) We"d rather he paid us the money tomorrow. 我们宁愿他明天付给我们那笔钱. Don"t come tomorrow. I"d rather you came next weekend. 明天别来.我希望你下周末来. 请注意 1） 如果谈到过去的动作,也就是表示过去已经发生的事情在选择上不恰当.此时,主句一般为I had rather ,其（that）从句则用过去完成时. 例 Would rather you had not done that. 我真希望你没有做那件事. 2）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. 例 I would rather have gone to the theatre than stayed home night. 我真希望昨天晚上去看了戏而不是呆在家里. He would rather be poor than have got money by dishonest methods． 他宁可穷也不愿意用不诚实的手段获取金钱. Henry would rather that his girlfriend worked in the same department as he does．亨利希望他的女朋友和他在一个部门工作. 五、would rather/sooner和prefer/would prefer的区别 would rather和would sooner之间一般没有区别,但经常接触到的是would rather. 例Tom would rather/sooner read than talk． 汤姆宁可读书而不愿谈天. Tom prefers reading to talking．汤姆喜欢读书而不喜欢谈天. 请注意 1）would rather后跟不带to的不定式+than+不带 to的不定式,而prefer后跟动名词+to+动名词.有时prefer后面也可跟名词,而在would rather之后要求只带动词原形. 例 He prefers wine to beer．= He would rather drink wine than beer． 他喜欢喝红葡萄酒而不喜欢喝啤酒. I prefer tennis to golf．= I"d rather play tennis than golf． 我喜欢打网球而不喜欢打高尔夫球. 2）某些 prefer+名词的情况不能用 would rather完全确切地表达出来：He prefers dogs to cats．（他喜欢狗而不喜欢猫.）和 He would rather have dogs than cats．（他宁可养狗而不愿养猫.）很明显,这两句的意思并不完全相同. 3） would rather+不带to的不定式有时可代替 would prefer+带 to的不定式. 例 I"d rather fly than go by sea．=I"d prefer to fly． 我宁愿乘飞机也不愿乘船. 这两个结构后面带名词时情况也一样： 例 —Would you like some gin? —I"d prefer a coffee．=I"d rather have coffee than gin． —您想喝点杜松子酒吗? —我想喝点咖啡./我想喝点咖啡,不想喝杜松子酒. 4）would rather/sooner和would prefer后面都可跟完成式,但后者带to. 例 We went by sea but I"d rather have gone by air=I"d prefer to have gone by air． 我们是乘船去的,可我本想乘飞机去.（我愿意乘飞机去,可我的愿望未能实现.）这和 would like+不定式的完成式有点相似,would like+带to 的不定式的完成式也表示未能实现的愿望. 祝您学习进步,更上一层楼!如果答案您满意,请记得采纳,谢谢!(*^__^*)……

分类: 教育/科学 >> 外语学习 解析: 看看这个够不: ============= rather than，prefer与would rather异同 在英语中，表示“偏爱”、“优先”、“更喜欢”、“更可取”或“宁愿”等意思时，可用prefer，would rather和rather than来表达。—）rather than rather than必须连接两个平行结构，即并联两个词(如名词、代词)，两个动词不定式或并联两个短语或分句。例如： John ought to go rather than Mary．约翰比玛丽更应该去。 当rather than并联两个动词不定式时，后一个动词不定式一般省略to(在比较正式的文体中也可以保留to)。例如： In China，it is important to invest in education rather than(to)increase personal wages．在中国，优先投资教育比增加个人工资重要。 二）prefer prefer之后用动名词结构表示一般性偏爱，强调一种事实或一件事。例如： l like swimming，but I prefer sailing．我喜欢游泳，但更喜欢航行。 当prefer之后带两个动词不定式表示“偏爱…胜过…”时，用rather than连接。Rather than之后可以有两种结构：省略to的动词不定式和动词的一ing形式。例如： 1 would prefer to spend the weekend at home rather than drive out．我宁愿在家度周末，而不愿意开车出门。 当prefer之后带两个名词或动名词结构表示“偏爱…胜过…”时，常用介词to连接两个部分，也可以用rather than连接。例如： I prefer watching TV to reading books．我宁可看电视，也不愿意看书。 prefer之后可以用动词不定式作宾语补足语。例如： I don"t prefer people to *** oke here．我不喜欢有人在这儿抽烟。 prefer之后带从句时，其用法与would rather带从句的用法相同。例如： I"d prefer that you did not go there alone．我希望你不要一个人到那里去。 三）would rather would rather是固定习惯用语，可用于任何人称，其简略形式是 "d rather。would rather之后直接带省略to的动词不定式。例如： Would you rather stay at home or go out with me?你愿意呆在家里，还是愿意跟我出门? would rather还可以与than连用，构成“would rather+省略to的不定式+than+省略to的不定式”结构。例如： Tom would rather read than talk．=Tom prefers reading to talking．汤姆喜爱读书胜过与人交谈。 would rather之后带从句时，从句中的谓语动词用虚拟语气，即用过去式表示现在或将来的意义，用过去完成式表示过去的意义。例如： I"d rather she had repaired her car last night．=I wish she had repaired her car last night．但愿她昨晚就把车修好了。 一般来说。would rather之后跟动词原形表达的意思是“偏爱，宁愿”，但如果其后跟动词hope，think，like，enjoy和have等时，would rather则含有“很，非常”的意思。请比较： I"d rather enjoy reading．我很喜欢读书。 I"m not sure，but I"d rather think SO．我没有十分把握，但认为很可能如此

你说的rather…than…是 would rather do …than do… =prefer to do …rather than do…吧 它们都表示 宁可…而不…

You should help me rather than I should help you. 你应当帮我,而不是我应当帮你. 使用 rather than 时,还应注意以下两点： 1. rather than 很像并列连词.其前后都应是相互对应的词语,但接不定式时,常可省去不定式符号 to . 2. rather than 也可分开使用,和 would 或 had 构成“ would / had rather … than ”结构, than 前后也是相互对等的结构.试比较： （ 1 ） She would rather have the *** all one than the large one. 她宁愿要小的,也不愿要大的. （ 2 ） Tom would rather be liked than feared. 汤姆宁愿受人爱戴,而不愿让人惧怕. （ 3 ） Wouldn"t you rather be liked than feared? 你不是宁愿受人爱戴,而不愿让人惧怕吗? 但当 would rather 被用作谓语动词后接宾语从句时,从句中的谓语动词应为虚拟形式.例如： I"d rather you came tomorrow than today. 我宁愿明天来,而不是今天来.,1,

我很满意再来看看了

具体看rather than的意义与用法： 1．跟情态动词would,should,will等连用构成固定搭配,有时rather than可以分开,意为“宁可”、“与其……倒不如”.此时,"rather than+ do sth". 例如： I"d rather than go there by air．我宁愿乘飞机去那里. 2．作准并列连词,相等于and not,意义为：是...,而不是...:可以+doing 或 to do.例如： 1）He was engaged in writing "rather than" reading the newspaper．他正忙着写东西,而不是 在读报纸."rather than+ doing" 2）He is to be pitied rather than to be disliked．他应该得到怜悯而不是厌恶."rather than+ to do" 所以意义表“宁愿”+do sth; 表“是...,而不是...:”++doing 或 to do. ）

rather than do sth. rather than doing sth.

instead of "替代",重点词在of上.它是个介词,所以该加上名词性结构,如名词(短语) 代词宾格 宾语从句等,但是介宾结构也可以,尤其小心的是动词该用动名词形式,即Ving;rather than (是...)而不是... 从语法角度上看它是个连词,前后成分在形式上必须保持一致,所以后面的结构应该与前面保持一样,就有可能出现代词主格,动词的各种形式,不一而足,但关键是和与它对比的结构形式要一致!如: I"ll go there instead of him. I rather than he(与I一致) will go there.再如: Yesterday he walked here instead of driving here. Yesterday he walked here rather than drove(与walked一致) here.请采纳答案，支持我一下。

您好，ratherthandoing/n计科加doing还可以加n名次在这里因为前面的play用的是原型，所以后面的用do谢谢，希望对你有用

楼主理解有误。rather than是并列连词，并非介词，用于连接前后两个并列部分。这两个部分在性质上要求一致，比如都是名词/形容词/副词等。比如：I‘m (strong) rather than (weak). 都是形容词I don"t understand (how it is used) rather than (its meaning). 都是名词性成分而且如果其前后部分结构类似的话，则甚至会要求形式上完全一致。如前后都是不定式，都是动名词，都是动词过去分词，都是动名词等等。楼主这个例句中，rather than前后就是两个不定式短语，不过第二个不定式短语中的to可以省略。所以更常用的写法是：I prefer to stay at home rather than (省略to) go outside.至于成分上，to stay at home和(to) go outside做prefer的（并列）宾语。

一、rather than用作连词,连接两个平行结构.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1）I,rather than you,should do the work.该做这工作的是我,而不是你.2、接名词2）John ought to go rather than Jean.约翰比琴更应该去.3）I think I"ll have a cold drink rather than coffee.我想我该要一杯冷饮,而不要咖啡.试比较：4）We sometimes eat rice instead of potatoes.有时候我们不吃土豆,而吃米饭.3、接形容词5）These shoes are comfortable rather than for your friend.这鞋不好看可是舒服.6）You are doing this for yourself rather than for your friend.你不是为你朋友,而是为你自己做这种事.7)I"d prefer to go in August rather than in July.我愿8月去不愿7月去.5、接动名词8)I always prefer starting early,rather than leaving everything to the last minute,我总是愿意早开始而不愿意把所有事情都留到最后才做.9)He was engaged in writing a letter rather than reading the newspaper.他那时是在写信而不是看报纸.6、接过去分词10)She insisted on having the room papered rather than painted.她坚持要用纸裱糊房间,而不是把房间粉刷一下.7、接不定式11)I decided to write rather than telephone.我决定写信而不是打电话.12)They prefer to die fighting rather than live in enslavement.他们宁可战死,也不肯活着受奴役.13)I prefer to work rather than remain idle.我宁愿工作而不愿闲着.8、接谓语动词14)He told a lie rather than get his friend into trouble.他宁愿说谎也不愿连累朋友.15)Shall we go for a walk rather than watch television?咱们不看电视,出去散步,好不好?16)He ran rather than walked.他跑步而不是步行.rather than后接动词原形表示主观抉择,接一个动词的过去式则表示客观差异.9、接从句17)It was what he meant rather than what he said.那是指他话中的意思,而不是他所说的话.18)It was what he had caten rather than what he had drunk that made him ill.使他得病的不是他喝的东西,而是他吃的东西.二、rather than用作介词R.Quirk编著的《英语语法大全》p.1387明确指出：和as well as及in stead of一样,rather than后面跟一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：19）Their actions precipitated the war rather than averting it.他们的行为促使战争爆发而不是避免战争.20）Rather than a new car,he bought a colour television.他买了一台彩电,而不是一辆新车.21）Let"s finish the job today,rather than leaving it till tomorrow.让咱们今天干完工作,而不是留到明天.三、rather than用作从属连词,引导一种优选分句.R.Quirk在《英语语法大全》p.1540指出：优先分句主要用从属连词rather than和sooner than引导,用不带to的不定式作该分句的谓语动词：22）Rather than go there by air,I"d take the slowest train.我宁愿乘最慢的火车,也不愿乘飞机去那儿.

连词：1.Ilikepeachesratherthanapples.【名词】2.Theshoesarecomfortableratherthanpretty.【形容词】3.Shetelephonedratherthanwrote.【动词】4.Weshouldhelphimratherthanheshouldhelpus.【两个句子】5.decidedtowriteratherthan(to)telephone【不定式】可见词性要求并不严就是这种并列的都可以“平等结构”名词、形容词、谓语动词、状语、非谓语动词、从句等都可这些是比较常用的所谓连词是连接东西的词可以是以上五种情况（还有更多）介词：用作介词时，也表示butnot它后面接代词、名词和动名词。Ratherthananewcar,heboughtacolortelevision.正如一般介词要后接动名词作宾语一样，ratherthan后也可接动名词作宾语具体怎么样你要看ratherthan两边的东西是否构成并列如果是则为连词否则是介词其实关于它做什么成分初中用不到甚至高中我觉得我们主要记住用法真的就够了参考资料：百度文库帮你查到的。觉得说得很好。供参考。

有些倒装句型的构成不是将动词前置,也不是将助动词前置(或加助动词),而是将特殊内容前置. “prefer to do…rather than do…”(宁愿做一…而不愿做…).就是这样一种,该句型可将“rather than do…”提到句首,从而构成特殊倒装句型.例如： Rather than ride on a crowded bus,he always prefers to ride a bicycle.

对于rather than doing 什么的 ，可能是楼主没有理解好，后面可以跟doing， 但是，比如 rather than being worried 就可以因为being worried 是动词短语

rather than 翻译为“与其……还不如……”I would watch TV raather than listen to the music!与其去听歌我还不如去看电视

rather than表示宁可...也不要 rather than的意思 (要) 而不，与其倒不如; instead of sb/sth 而不是; rather than的用法总结1 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 donu2019t 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?

ratherthan的用法详解如下；与would连用，would…rather than…或者would rather…than…，意思为宁愿、与其……不如……，例如“I would rather have noodles than rice”，意思为我宁愿吃面条也不吃米饭。作连词，可连接代词、名词、形容词、从句、不定式等，构成平行结构。可作介词。相关例句：The zoo needed better management rather than more money.这座动物园需要更好的管理，而不是更多的资金。It now seems a probability rather than just a possibility.这件事似乎十拿九稳，而不是仅有可能。The decision was based on emotion rather than rational thought.这个决定不是基于理性的思考而是基于感情作出的。Good writing is unfortunately the exception rather than the rule.可惜优秀的文字作品真是可遇不可求。I think I"ll have a cold drink rather than coffee.我想要冷饮，不要咖啡。

都可以，rather than后面的动词可以是-ing形式，也可以是省略to的不定式形式，即rather than doing或rather than (to) do。

在英语中,表示“偏爱”、“优先”、“更喜欢”、“更可取”或“宁愿”等意思时,可用prefer,would rather和rather than来表达.三个词之间在表达和用法上的异同如下： （—）rather than ①rather than必须连接两个平行结构,即并联两个词（如名词、代词）,两个动词不定式或并联两个短语或分句. 如： John ought to go rather than Mary． 约翰比玛丽更应该去. ②当rather than并联两个动词不定式时,后一个动词不定式一般省略to（在比较正式的文体中也可以保留to）. 如： In China,it is important to invest in education rather than（to）increase personal wages． 在中国,优先投资教育比增加个人工资重要. （二）prefer ①prefer之后用动名词结构表示一般性偏爱,强调一种事实或一件事. 如： l like swimming,but I prefer sailing． 我喜欢游泳,但更喜欢航行. ②当prefer之后带两个动词不定式表示“偏爱…胜过…”时,用rather than连接.Rather than之后可以有两种结构：省略to的动词不定式和动词的ing形式. 如： 1 would prefer to spend the weekend at home rather than drive out． 我宁愿在家度周末,而不愿意开车出门. ③当prefer之后带两个名词或动名词结构表示“偏爱…胜过…”时,常用介词to连接两个部分,也可以用rather than连接. 如： I prefer watching TV to reading books． 我宁可看电视,也不愿意看书. ④prefer之后可以用动词不定式作宾语补足语. 如： I don"t prefer people to *** oke here． 我不喜欢有人在这儿抽烟. ⑤prefer之后带从句时,其用法与would rather带从句的用法相同. 如： I"d prefer that you did not go there alone． 我希望你不要一个人到那里去. （三）would rather ①would rather是固定习惯用语,可用于任何人称,其简略形式是 "d rather.would rather之后直接带省略to的动词不定式. 如： Would you rather stay at home or go out with me? 你愿意呆在家里,还是愿意跟我出门? ②would rather还可以与than连用,构成“would rather+省略to的不定式+than+省略to的不定式”结构. 如： Tom would rather read than talk．=Tom prefers reading to talking． 汤姆喜爱读书胜过与人交谈. ③would rather之后带从句时,从句中的谓语动词用虚拟语气,即用过去式表示现在或将来的意义,用过去完成式表示过去的意义. 如： I"d rather she had repaired her car last night．=I wish she had repaired her car last night． 但愿她昨晚就把车修好了. ④一般来说.would rather之后跟动词原形表达的意思是“偏爱,宁愿”,但如果其后跟动词hope,think,like,enjoy和have等时,would rather则含有“很,非常”的意思.请比较： I"d rather like reading．我很喜欢读书. I"m not sure,but I"d rather think so．我没有十分把握,但认为很可能如此.

rather....than.....和ratherthan实际上是一样的,同would连用时,可分开写,也可合写.wouldratherdoAthandoB=woulddoAratherthandoB宁愿...而不愿...Shewouldratherstayathomethangoout.=Shewouldstayathomeratherthangoout.但同连用时,只能合写成:prefertodoAratherthandoB宁愿...而不愿...Hepreferredtodieratherthansurrendertotheenemy.他宁死也不愿向敌人投降.单独使用时,ratherthan而不是Thisargumentaimedattheunderstandingratherthantheemotions.这场辩论针对的是理解而不是感情.

前后要对应，看词组前面用的是什么形式，后面就要保持一致

rather than后面的动词可以是-ing形式，也可以是省略to的不定式形式，即rather than doing或rather than (to) do。rather than前后的动词形式要保持一致，前面是doing形式则后面也用doing形式，前面是to do形式则后面也用（to）do形式。但rather than位于句首时，则只能接不带to的不定式。扩展资料rather than的用法1、rather than用作连词，连接两个平行结构。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…”。2、rather than用作介词和as well as及instead of一样，rather than后面跟一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。3、rather than用作从属连词，引导一种优选分句。优先分句主要用从属连词rather than和sooner than引导，用不带to的不定式作该分句的谓语动词。

rather than 是一个并列连词，用法比较复杂，现归纳如下： 1. 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。 2. 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。现分述如下： (1) 连接两个名词或代词 He is an explorer rather than a sailor. 与其说他是一个海员，不如说他是一个探险者。 You rather than I are going to go camping. 是你而不是我要去要野营。 注意：rather than 连接两个名词或代词作主语时，谓语动词应与rather than 前面的名词或代词在人称和数上保持一致。 (2) 连接两个形容词 The sweater she bought was beautiful rather than cheap. 与其说她买的这件羊毛衫便宜不如说它漂亮。 (3) 连接两个介词(短语)或动名词 We will have the meeting in the classroom rather than in the great hall. 我们是在教室里开会，不是在大厅里。 She enjoys singing rather than dancing. 她喜欢唱歌，而不喜欢跳舞。 (4) 连接两个分句 We should help him rather than he should help us. 是我们应该帮助他而不是他应该帮助我们。 (5) 连接两个不定式 I decided to write rather than (to) telephone. 我决定写信而不打电话。 注意：rather than 后接不定式时，不定式可以带to，也可以不带to, 如上句。但rather than位于句首时，则只能接不带to 的不定式。如：Rather than allow the vegetables to go bad, he sold them at half price. 他唯恐蔬菜烂掉，把它们以半价卖掉了。 (6) 连接两个动词 He ran rather than walked. 他是跑来的，而不是走来的。 注意：这里rather than 后用了walked，而没有用walk，表示客观事实，而不是主观愿望。如果换成walk，则作“宁愿……而不愿 ……”解。

两者都可以 A和B是名词或形容词时, "A rather than B" 比较常见 例: It is red rather than purple. A和B是动词时, "rather A than B" 比较常见 例: I would rather die than live withour you.

rather than 后一般跟动名词，即V-ing。但是，其后也可跟动词不定式，也就是to do不定时。而且，当rather than 放在句首时，只能接不带to的不定式，所以你会看到Rather than cause trouble而非causing。

好像没有时态这么一说...反正 rather ... than...如果前面接动名词,后面也要接动名词前面是不定式,后面也要接不定式保持一致I would rather to go to school than to go homeI woule staying at home rather than going to school

rather than后面的动词可以是-ing形式，也可以是省略to的不定式形式，即rather than doing或rather than (to) do。rather than前后的动词形式要保持一致，前面是doing形式则后面也用doing形式，前面是to do形式则后面也用（to）do形式。但rather than位于句首时，则只能接不带to的不定式。扩展资料rather than的用法1、rather than用作连词，连接两个平行结构。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…”。2、rather than用作介词和as well as及instead of一样，rather than后面跟一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。3、rather than用作从属连词，引导一种优选分句。优先分句主要用从属连词rather than和sooner than引导，用不带to的不定式作该分句的谓语动词。

那个复数形式+es的是哪个？

记住这个口诀就OK了英雄(hero)吃土豆(potato)，黑人(Negro)吃蕃茄(tomato)。(+es)小偷(thief)的妻子(wife)用刀(knife)把狼(wolf)活生生(life)砍成了几半(half)，然后用树叶(leaf)将其盖在书架(shelf)后面。(+ves)

都是一样的人，就不要去笑话别人

英语中以o结尾的单词复数形式加es的大概只有有限的几个，下面来给大家介绍一下这几个单词。 hero，英雄的意思，它的复数形式是要加es的，复数为heroes. tomato，西红柿的意思，复数形式也是要加es的，复数为tomatoes. Negro,黑人的意思，复数形式加es,复数为Negroes potato,土豆的意思，复数形式加es,复数为potatoes
