rather的用法

Answer 1

rather读：英 [ˈrɑːðə(r)]，美 [ˈræðər]。

作副词时意为“宁可，宁愿，相当，准确地说，或多或少地”。作连词时意为“而不是”。作感叹词时意为“当然啦（回答问题时用）”。作名词时意为“人名，(英)拉瑟”。

短语搭配：

or rather更确切地说，毋宁说，更精确地说，准确的说。

Rather critical一叶知秋。

would rather宁愿。

rather good相当不错。

双语例句：

1、I rather than you , should do the work.

该做这个工作的是我，而不是你。

2、I should thank you rather than you thank me.

我应该感谢你，而不是你来感谢我。
