than相當於什麼什麼短語,rather
rather than相當於instead of。
注意下面兩點:
1、相同點:他們的意思相差不大
放在句首:不是---而是---
放在句中:而不是
例如: Rather than the fat girl.,I love the thin girl.
2、不同點……instead of 接動詞的時候,動詞加ing,而rather than 可以跟動詞ing結構,也可以跟動詞原形。
Rather than being pleased she got angry.
Rather than catch her when she was stealing things, I shouted at her.
