  2)rather than也可以置于句首:

  3)than后也可用动名词:

rather的用法讲解

rather
than表示“与其……倒不如……”,后者表示“更……比起……”,
He depends on you rather than on me.
他依赖你胜过依赖我.
在rather加形容词再加名词的结构中,冠词a置于rather前后都可以,如a rather
big dog和rather a big dog(一只相当大的狗)两种表达都可以;
had rather属于习惯用语,表示“宁愿,宁可”,主语短语中必须用had,不可以改成have,且一般其后面接不含to的不定式.
I had rather stay with John than with Charles.
比起查尔斯我宁可和约翰呆一起.
had/would rather后一般接不含that所引导的从句,且从句用虚拟语气.had/would
rather后还可接than,再加不含to的不定式,还要注意would rather后只可接动词原形.
I would/had rather you paid me now.
我宁愿你现在付钱给我.
I would rather stay here than go on holiday.
我宁愿呆在这里,也不愿意去度假.
prefer to...rather
than...表示“比起……更喜欢……做某事”,注意结构中than后直接加动词原形,而不是不定式to do.
I prefer to work rather than remian idle.
比起无所事事,我更喜欢工作.
rather一般修饰动词(尤其时感观动词)和名词,表示的程度更强烈一点,意为“比预期的还要多一些”.
“Rather good. I was surprised.”
rather是程度副词,用来修饰原级或比较级形容词和副词、动词、分词或单数名词,意思是“有些”“相当”“多少地”,常用于负面含意.rather可和too连用,作程度状语,但此时不可以修饰比较级.
rather用以减弱而不是加强其后所跟的词或词组的作用,如拒绝别人请求帮助时,显得比较客气,又如为了谦虚,可用这词使自己在引人注目的场面表现得乐而不狂.
rather一般放在不定冠词前面,名词前有形容词时,也可放在不定冠词后面.
