rather than正確用法集錦

　　下面是小編整理的一些關(guān)于rather than正確用法總結(jié)，希望對(duì)大家有幫助。

　　rather than用作連詞，連接兩個(gè)平行結(jié)構(gòu)。既可以表示主觀愿望上的決擇，“與其…寧可…”，也可以表示客觀程度上的差異，“與其說是…不如說是…”。例如：

　　(1)接代詞

　　I, rather than you, should do the work. 該做這工作的是我，而不是你。

　　She rather than I is going there. 是她而不是我講去那里.

　　(2)接名詞

　　John ought to go rather than Jean.約翰比琴更應(yīng)該去。

　　I think I'll have a cold drink rather than coffee. 我想我該要一杯冷飲，而不要咖啡。

　　(3)接形容詞

　　These shoes are comfortable rather than for your friend. 這鞋不好看可是舒服。

　　You are doing this for yourself rather than for your friend. 你不是為你朋友，而是為你自己做這種事。

　　(4)接介詞短語

　　【溫馨提示】rather than后接動(dòng)詞原形表示主觀抉擇，接一個(gè)動(dòng)詞的過去式則表示客觀差異。
