1、訓(xùn)練11小議的用法我們先來看兩道最新高考題目： 【高考鏈接1】It is _ to spend money on preventing illnesses by promoting healthy living rather than spending it trying to make people _ after they are ill. (2008江蘇) A. good; good B. well; better C. better; better D. better; good 【高考鏈接2】Will you join us in the game? Thank you, _（200

2、7江西） A. but why not? B. but Id rather not. C. and I wont. D. and Ill join. 點擊第1題的答案為C。本句為復(fù)合句，it是形式主語，真正的主語是動詞不定式短語to spend .。rather than是固定短語，意為“與其說，不如說”。其句意為：與其把錢花在讓人康復(fù)上，倒不如將錢花在通過提升健康的生活來預(yù)防疾病上。第2個題目的答案為B。根據(jù)后面的轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but ，應(yīng)該是“我寧愿不去”。rather的意思為“寧愿”。 【基本用法】 根據(jù)其特點我們從兩個方面來看一下rather than 的用法： 1. rather than

3、經(jīng)常用在“平行結(jié)構(gòu)”里,即連接兩個對等成分，表示客觀事實，意為“是而不是；與其不如”。它連接的并列成分可以是名詞、代詞、形容詞、介詞（短語）、動名詞、分句、不定式、動詞等?，F(xiàn)分述如下： 連接兩個名詞（動名詞）或代詞，例如： You rather than I are going to Beijing for Olympic Games.是你而不是我要去北京看奧運會。 As a sports man, I always prefer starting early, rather than leaving everything to the last minute.作為一個運動員，我總是愿意早開始

4、而不愿意把所有事情都留到最后。 連接兩個不定式，例如： Rather than get money in such a dishonest way, the old man would beg in the streets.這個老人寧愿在街上乞討,也不愿以這種不正當(dāng)?shù)氖侄螔赍X。 Finally, I decided to write rather than (to) telephone.最后，我決定寫信而不打電話。 連接兩個介詞（短語）或兩個分句，例如： We will have the meeting in the classroom rather than in the great hal

5、l.我們是在教室里開會，不是在大廳里。 We should help him rather than he should help us.是我們應(yīng)該幫助他而不是他應(yīng)該幫助我們。 連接兩個形容詞，例如： The sweater she bought was beautiful rather than cheap.與其說她買的這件羊毛衫便宜不如說它漂亮。 Id call her hair chestnut rather than brown. 我寧愿說她的頭發(fā)是栗色,而不是棕色。 2. rather than與would連用時，構(gòu)成“would rather . than .”句式，意思是“寧愿而

6、不愿”，表示主觀愿望，即在兩者之中選擇其一。應(yīng)該特別注意此短語的否定構(gòu)成及其后接的動詞形式。如： He would rather have the small one than the large one.他寧愿要一個小的,而不要大的。 Id rather take the slowest train than go there by air.我寧愿坐最慢的火車,也不乘飛機去那里。 【辨析】 rather than 用來表示“是而不是”，通常連接兩個并列成分：He is an artist rather than a philosopher.他是位藝術(shù)家而不是位哲學(xué)家。 sb./sth. is

7、 more A than B表示“與其說sb./sth.是B，不如說是A”，例如： He is more an artist than a philosopher.與其說他是位哲學(xué)家，不如說他是位藝術(shù)家。 注意sb./sth. is not more A than B表示“與其說sb./sth.是A，不如說是B”，如： He is not more an artist than a philosopher.與其說他是位藝術(shù)家，不如說他是位哲學(xué)家。 other than除了還，相當(dāng)于besides,表示除了后者之外的同類事物，例如： Theres nobody here other than m

8、e. 除了我這里沒別人。 You cant get there other than by swimming. 你只能靠游泳游到那邊去。 【拓展】 rather 的用法 adv. 意思有：相當(dāng)，寧可，寧愿，頗，有點兒。既可以修飾形容詞，也可以修飾副詞，例如： Theres something rather strange about the way he talks to you.他跟你說話的樣子真有點怪。 To Jamaican , Beijing Olympic Games are rather a happy result. =That is a rather happy result.

9、對牙買加人來說，北京奧運會是一個相當(dāng)愉快的結(jié)果。 意為“更確切地”，此用法的rather常用在or rather這一短語中,表示想要糾正已經(jīng)說過的話,或欲使已說過的話更確切。如： He worked till late last night, or rather, early in the morning.他一直工作到深夜,或者更確切地說,到今天凌晨。 The building is like a palace, or rather a temple.這幢建筑物像一座宮殿,或者更確切地說像一座寺廟。 would/had rather 后接從句時,從句中的謂語動詞用虛擬語氣。例如： I woul

10、d/had rather you posted the letter right away. 我倒希望你把這封信立即發(fā)出去。 I would/had rather that she had not stayed at home when the earthquake took place. 當(dāng)?shù)卣鸢l(fā)生時她要是不留在家里就好了。 【鞏固精練】 . 根據(jù)上面的講解，翻譯下列句子： 1. 與其說他是一個海員，不如說他是一個探險者。 2. 他唯恐蔬菜爛掉，把它們以半價賣掉了。 3. 在地震中這位母親寧愿死也不愿失去孩子們。 4. 我現(xiàn)在不愿把那個秘密告訴你。 . 單項選擇： 1.

18、The mother would rather die than lose the children in the earthquake. 4. I would rather not tell you the secret right now. . 1. C本題為一強調(diào)句式，所以第二空必須用who 或that 引導(dǎo)一個從句，因而可排除A項和D項；rather than 意為“而不是”。 2.Aor rather “更確切地說”，符合上下文的意思。 3. C該題考查would rather do sth. than do sth.這一句型，意思是“寧愿做而不愿做”。 4. Crather tha

19、n的前后為對比的并列關(guān)系,所以應(yīng)根據(jù)前面的謂語動詞spend來使用動名詞形式,構(gòu)成spend money doing sth.結(jié)構(gòu)。 5. A該題考查強調(diào)句中被強調(diào)部分之間的連接詞用法辨析。由句意“是他的演唱方式而不是他的歌聲給我印象深刻”可知A為正確選項；as well as，together with兩項雖然結(jié)構(gòu)上也對，但不符合題意not exactly so。 6. AIt is . that 構(gòu)成一個強調(diào)句型。句子的意思為：導(dǎo)致世界人口迅速增長的原因是對疾病的的防治而不是(rather than)對它的成功治療。 7. C此題考查介詞短語。other than除了；or rather更
