ratherthan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
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

He is at school rather than at home .他是在学校而不是在家。
(5)接动名词

(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,接一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 than 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:
