rather than的用法
rather than在这里应该视作并列连词,所并列的成分必须是平行结构。本句前面是不定式 tostay at home ,因此 ratherthan 并列的也是不定式to gooutside。
另如:
We'll have the meeting in the classroom rather than in the auditorium. 我们与其在礼堂里开会, 不如在教室开会。
【rather than 并列的介词短语 in the classroom 和 in the auditorium.】
They thus increased their annual grain production rather than diminished it. 他们这样增加了而不是减少了粮食年产量。
【rather than 并列的是动词短语 increased their annual grain production 和 diminished it】
rather than,英['rɑːðə ðən],美['ræðər ðən]

扩展资料:
意思相近词语:instead,英[ɪn'sted],美[ɪn'sted]
adv. 代替;反而
instead是副词,只能单独使用。基本意思是“代替”,可依据上下文灵活翻译,有时甚至干脆不译。
instead一般与of连用作为介词词组,后面可接名词和代词意外的词,如形容词,副词,动词和介词。
