常用结构

rather than... 是……而不是……;与其……不如……;不愿

He ran rather than walked.他是跑的而不是走的。

Rather than allow the vegetables to go bad, he sold them at half price. 与其让蔬菜烂掉，他不如半价把它们卖掉。

联想拓展

do A rather than do B = rather than do B, sb. does A 某人不做B却做A

A rather than B是A而不是B

would rather do A than do B = would do A rather than do B 宁可做A而不做B

prefer to do A rather than do B 最喜欢做A而不做B

would rather sb. did/had done sth. 宁愿某人做某事

rather than表示客观事实，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。后接不定式时，不定式可以带to，也可以不带to。但rather than位于句首时，则只能接不带to 的不定式。

(1)用括号内所给词语的适当形式填空

①Rather than@(ride) on a crowded bus, he always prefers        (ride) a bicycle.

②I’d rather you        (not come) yesterday.

③I think Tom, rather than you,        (blame).

(2)翻译句子

①他一路跑过来而不是走过来。

2. It is so wet there that the trees are extremely tall, some measuring over 90 metres. 那儿的湿度很大，所以树都长得特别高，一些高达90多米。

some measuring over 90 metres 是独立主格结构。

联想拓展
