rather than的用法总结1
1. 用作连词(=but not)，意为而不不是(而是)与其(不如)，前后连接的成分应该是平行的。
如：
He ran rather than walked. 他不是在走而是在跑。
He is a writer rather than a teacher. 与其说他是教师还不如说他是作家。
You are doing this for yourself rather than for others. 你做这件事不是为别人而是为你自己。
It was what he meant rather than what he said. 这是他的意思，而不是他说的话。
2. 由于既可视为连词也可视为介词，所以连接不定式时，后面一个不定式可带to或不带to(视为准并列连词时)，也可用动名词(视为介词时)。
如：
I decided to stay at home rather than (to) go [going] to the cinema. 我宁愿呆在家里也不愿去看电影。
但是，如果rather than 位于句首，其后的不定式通常不带to(也可用动名词)。
如：
Rather than waste [wasting] your time doing it yourself, why donu2019t you call in a builder? 你为什么宁愿浪费时间自己去干而不去请一个包工的呢?
Rather than use [using] the last of my cash, I decided to write a cheque. 我决定开张支票而不把现金用光。
3. 连接两个成分作主语时，其谓语动词的数通常与前面一个主语保持一致。
如：The teacher rather than the students is to blame. 应受责备的是老师而不是学生。

a.引导选择状语从句(adverbial clause of preference)或选优分句(clause of preference)
表示主观上选优。主句表示喜欢做的事(主句常用would, prefer, like等)，从句则表示不喜欢做的事。谓语用不带to的不定式，强调强烈的取舍欲望，译作:宁可决不。从句多位于主句前。
Rather than travel by air, I"d prefer a week on a big liner.
我宁愿在大客轮上呆一星期而不愿乘飞机旅行。
Rather than go there by air, I"d take the slowest train.
我宁愿坐最慢的火车，也不乘飞机去那里。
Rather than/Sooner than follow his lead, I"d strike out on my own.
我宁愿跟着他干，也不愿独立谋生。
当主句中有would, should时，可将位于句末的 rather than从句中的rather转移到主句中去:
I"d rather take the slowest train than go there by air.
我宁愿做最慢的火车，也不乘飞机去那里。
有时从句也可以有自己的主语(情况极少);有时从句和表推定情景意义的should连用:
Rather than you say anything, I would speak to the manager myself.
我宁愿亲自跟经理谈，你任何事也别谈。
