Question

rather than属于介词还是什么?

Answer 1

ather than 是一个并列连词,用法比较复杂,现归纳如下：

1.rather than 与would 连用时,构成“would rather...than...”句式,意思是“宁愿……而不愿……”,表示主观愿望,即在两者之中选择其一.例如：

She'd rather die than lose the children.她宁愿死也不愿失去孩子们.

2.rather than 不与would连用时,表示客观事实,意为“是……而不是……；与其……不如……”.它连接的并列成分可以是名词、代词、形容词、介词(短语)、动名词、分句、不定式、动词等.现分述如下：

(1) 连接两个名词或代词

He is an explorer rather than a sailor.与其说他是一个海员,不如说他是一个探险者.

You rather than I are going to go camping.是你而不是我要去要野营.

注意：rather than 连接两个名词或代词作主语时,谓语动词应与rather than 前面的名词或代词在人称和数上保持一致.
