关于rather的用法及解释
rather是我们学习英语的时候非常常见的一个词汇,这就要求我们要掌握并且去理解它的用法。接下来我在这里给大家带来rather的用法,我们一起来看看吧!

二、用于短语
1. or rather 更确切地说

He would rather have the small one than (have) the large one. 他宁愿要小的那个,而不愿要大的。
三、重要用法
1. 修饰形容词时,通常与那些意义“消极”的形容词连用:
Frank is clever but rather lazy. 弗兰克很聪明但颇为懒惰。
若与意义“积极”的形容词连用,则通常含有“惊人地”的意思:
I did rather well in that test—better than expected. 这次考试我考得相当好——比我预料的还好。
2.有时可用于修饰动词,尤其是那些表达思想或情感的动词:
I rather like him. 我很喜欢他。
She rather enjoys doing nothing. 她挺喜欢什么事都不干。
It rather surprised me. 那事使我相当惊讶。
I rather think we’re going to lose. 我倒是认为我们要输。

3.与不定冠词连用时,通常要置于不定冠词之前:
He is rather a fool. 他是个大笨蛋。
但若其后的名词带有形容词修饰语,则也可置于不定冠词之后:
That’s rather a silly question.= That’s a rather silly question. 那是个相当愚蠢的问题。
4.would rather(宁愿)的用法说明:
(1)后接动词原形,其中的 would 不可用should代换,即使是第一人称也是如此(在美国英语中,有时也说had rather,但不常见);用于否定句时,not一般应放在rather之后,但在否定疑问句、反意疑问句以及简略答语中,可以在would之后加 not:
We’d rather not go. 我们宁愿不去。
Wouldn’t you rather live here? 你不愿住在这儿?
(2)谈论过去的情况时,后接完成式动词,意为“本要”:
I’d rather have gone to the theatre last night. 昨晚我本来要去看戏的。
We’d rather have told her the news. 我们本来是要告诉她这个消息的。
(3)后接从句时,常用虚拟语气(用过去式表示现在或将来,用过去完成时表示过去):
I’d rather you went now (tomorrow). 我宁愿你现在(明天)去。
I’d rather he hadn’t done that. 我希望他没有做过那事。
(4)表示“宁愿(做)…而不愿(做)…”时,用would rather…than…(than之后也接动词原形,不过若与rather后的动词相同,通常省去):
He would rather walk than take a bus. 他愿走路而不愿坐公共汽车。
She would rather have the small one than the large one. 她宁愿要小的那个,而不愿要大的。
(5)当rather用作程度副词时,可用来修饰like, enjoy, hope, appreciate等动词,所以若would rather与这些动词连用,它并不表示“宁愿”,而应把 rather 理解为“相当”:
I’d rather like the film. 我相当喜欢这部电影。
5. rather than用法说明:
(1)由于既可视为准并列连词也可视为介词,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):
I decided to stay at home rather than (to) go to the cinema. 我宁愿呆在家里也不愿去看电影。
(2)若 rather than 位于句首,其后的不定式通常不带to(也可用动名词):
Rather than waste your time doing it yourself, why don’t 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 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:
The teacher rather than the students is to blame. 应受责备的是老师而不是学生。

同义词:instead
2. to some (great or small) extent
同义词:kind of, kinda, sort of
3. more readily or willingly
同义词:preferably, sooner

rather 的用法
1、rather是程度副词,用来修饰原级或比较级形容词和副词、动词、分词或单数名词,意思是“有些”“相当”“多少地”,常用于负面含意。rather可和too连用,作程度状语,但此时不可以修饰比较级。
2、rather用以减弱而不是加强其后所跟的词或词组的作用,如拒绝别人请求帮助时,显得比较客气,又如为了谦虚,可用这词使自己在引人注目的场面表现得乐而不狂。
3、rather一般放在不定冠词前面,名词前有形容词时,也可放在不定冠词后面。
4、rather than和more...than的比较:前者表示“与其……倒不如……”,后者表示“更……比起……”,注意词组more...than中的than前面不可以加上rather。
5、在rather加形容词再加名词的结构中,冠词a置于rather前后都可以,如a rather big dog和rather a big dog(一只相当大的狗)两种表达都可以;
6、had rather属于习惯用语,表示“宁愿,宁可”,主语短语中必须用had,不可以改成have,且一般其后面接不含to的不定式。
7、had/would rather后一般接不含that所引导的从句,且从句用虚拟语气。had/would rather后还可接than,再加不含to的不定式,还要注意would rather后只可接动词原形。
