Question

各位英语语法翻译雅思大神，帮忙分析一个英语长难句子~偶实在是不懂啊~~

Although most trainers know how important handedness is,at present they are rather reluctant to make use of the insight scientists like Matthews can give,which i think is rather short-sighted because focousing on individual flexibility is only part of story!!!!!

ranther 在这句话里是怎么用哒，是表示否定的吗

Answer 1

表示否定的是reluctant，rather此处修饰reluctant，加强语气用的，意为“很不情愿，极不情愿”

Answer 2

相当的意思，表示程度，第二个确有否定意味
