rather than前后什么时候加动名词,什么时候加不定式?

1.You should go out and take a walk instead of staying at home and surfing Internet.
2.You should take a travel to Beijing rather than to Shanghai.
3.We shall go to find him rather than waiting for his coming.
4.You shall work for money by yourself rather than asking money from your parents.
rather than,instead of 都可以.

C

ather than;倒不如说；是…而不
which is better than; instead of
· They were determined to die rather than surrender.
他们宁死不屈.
· It ought to be you rather than me that sign the letter.
在信上签署的应该是你而不是我.
· Shall we go for a walk rather than watch television?
咱们不看电视,出去散散步,好不好?
would rather do than do宁愿做某事,不愿做某事.
I would rather watch tv at home than play outside
注：rather than上下连接的词性相同

不可以,只能加doing

ather....than.....和rather than实际上是一样的, 同would 连用时,可分开写,也可合写. would rather do A than do B =would do A rather than do B 宁愿...而不愿... She would rather stay at home than go out . =She would stay at home rather than go out . 但同连用时,只能合写成: prefer to do A rather than do B 宁愿...而不愿... He preferred to die rather than surrender to the enemy. 他宁死也不愿向敌人投降. 单独使用时,rather than而不是 This argument aimed at the understanding rather than the emotions. 这场辩论针对的是理解而不是感情.

prefer to是一个词组
前面填的是swim 后面要和前面的呼应的 所以是一样的原型

可以接的
通常翻译为 而不是

说话时以”我“为起始,而不是用”你“,这样会是你的句子看起来不那么有进攻性而让人感觉必须要进行防卫式的对话.比如说”我不能感觉到我的意思被理解了“就比”你不理解我“要好得多.
用”我"这个句式,能够更清楚地表达出你对问题的观点和你的个人感受

这里是考察prefer to do rather than do的用法.
意为：比起挤公交车来,我更喜欢骑自行车.

选A.walk作名词用,因为rather than是介词,后接名词或动名词

ather 是副词
than 是连词 （只有后面接宾格时才是介词,如She sings better than us all),因此后面加的成分一定与它相比的成分一致.例如
He is a teacher rather than an engineer.与其说他是工程师倒不如说是老师（同是表语名词）
The hero would die rather than surrender.那英雄宁死不屈 (同是谓语动词）
I,rather than you,should do the job.做这工作的应当是我而不是你（同是主语代词）等等
直接接doing:
The singer is yelling rather than singing.那唱歌的人要说他在唱歌倒不如说他在嚎叫.（同是现在分词构成谓语）

D

考查固定结构。Prefer to do A rather do B宁愿做A不做B。故D正确。

：A

;考查固定结构。Prefer to do A rather than do B宁愿做A不做B。本题把rather than do B提前放在句首。故A正确。

ather than 宁可 ...也不愿,;与其 ...倒不如,而不是
A rather than B 是A而不是B

I think she hurt my feelings deliberately rather than by accident as she claimed. 句子意思 我认为她是故意地伤害我的感情而不是她声称的无意地偶然伤害.本句 着重 理解 rather than 的用法 意思是 而不是比较的 是 ；两个方式状语 是故意 而不是 偶然rather than 后面的句子只保留了方式状语 其他省略了完整就是rather than she hurt my feelings by accident as she claimed是定语从句 as是关系代词 代替 前面整句话 并在从句中作claimed宾语本句根据意思 只能选B.

ather than 用法小结
rather 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.(2) 连接两个形容词
The sweater she bought was beautiful rather than cheap.与其说她买的这件羊毛衫便宜不如说它漂亮.
(3) 连接两个介词(短语)或动名词
We will have the meeting in the classroom rather than in the great hall.我们是在教室里开会,不是在大厅里.
She enjoys singing rather than dancing.她喜欢唱歌,而不喜欢跳舞.(4) 连接两个分句
We should help him rather than he should help us.是我们应该帮助他而不是他应该帮助我们.(5) 连接两个不定式
I decided to write rather than (to) telephone.我决定写信而不打电话.
注意：rather than 后接不定式时,不定式可以带to,也可以不带to,如上句.但rather than位于句首时,则只能接不带to 的不定式.如：Rather than allow the vegetables to go bad,he sold them at half price.他唯恐蔬菜烂掉,把它们以半价卖掉了.(6) 连接两个动词
He ran rather than walked.他是跑来的,而不是走来的.
注意：这里rather than 后用了walked,而没有用walk,表示客观事实,而不是主观愿望.如果换成walk,则作“宁愿……而不愿 ……”解.

是介词
would rather do than do 是宁愿.而不.这是固定搭配,考点通常在要加动词原形而不是加不定式!
rather than 意思是“而不是”
做题时要分意思,抓考点!

etter than一般跟代词名词动名词.“比...好”than在这里是介词.
rather than一般跟代词名词 “不愿、不要、不是”than在这里也是介词.
other than一般跟代词名词 “除了、不同于、而不”另外比如 He never speaks to me other than to ask for something.也可以跟不定式.
希望可以帮到你,多翻翻英语字典还是对英语学习很有帮助的.

ather than 宁可……而不……,与其……不如……,不是……而是……
We would rather rent the house than buy it outright.我们宁可租这幢房子,也不愿直接买下它.
He resigned rather than take part in such a dishonest transaction .他宁愿辞职也不愿意参加这样一种欺骗的交易.

rather...than...宁愿……而不……,与其说……还不如说……
It is rather pleasant than tasteful.与其说它文雅,不如说它赏心悦目.

I like noodles better than rice.
I would like noodles,rather than rice.
但是注意,rather than 后必须根动词原形

other than ,除了
i have 3 sisters other than 1 brother
除了一个哥哥我还有三个姐姐
more than ,比...多
i have more than 40 books
我有40多本书
better than ,比...好
my bike is better than hers
我的自行车比她的好
rather than ,与其..倒不如;而不是
These are political rather than social matters.
这是政治问题而不是社会问题.

以下是rather than主要三种用法： 1．跟情态动词would，should，will等连用构成固定搭配，有时rather than可以分开，意为“宁可”、“与其……倒不如”。例如： 1）He would rather beg in the streets than get money in such dishonest way．他宁愿在街上乞讨，也不愿以这种不正当手段赚钱。 2）I'd rather take the slowest train than go there by air．我宁愿坐最慢的火车也不乘飞机去那里。 2．作准并列连词，相等于and not，只能连接词性相同的词项。例如： 1）He was engaged in writing rather than reading the newspaper．他正忙着写东西，而不是在读报纸。 2）It ought to be you rather than me that sign the letter．是你而不是我应该在这封信上签字。 3）She telephoned rather than wrote．她没有写信而是打了电话。 4）He is to be pitied rather than to be disliked．他应该得到怜悯而不是厌恶。 5）I will do it myself rather than ask him to do it．我会亲自去做这件事而不是叫他做。 3．表示两种说法的正确程度，rather than之后紧跟不够精确的说法，意为“与其说……，不如说……”。例如： 1）He is an artist rather than a philosopher．与其说他是个哲学家，不如说他是个艺术家。 2）He lay rather than sat in his armchair．与其说他是坐在扶手椅上不如说是躺在

C

考查短语。prefer to do …rather than do …宁愿做某事……而不愿做……，选C。

instead of只是instead of后加名词或do-ing形式rather than后加动词原形I want to play football rather than stay at home.同义句I want to play football instead of staying at home.

ather than 和more than 都表示的“宁肯干某事,而不愿意干某事”,但是rather than 后面只能接的是动词原形,而more than则比较灵活,根据前面的谓语动词的时态和形式而定,他们表示的是从属联系,有比较的含义,但这里的more 并不表示比较级,要区分清楚
故选C.
D去掉to后也正确.

当 rather than 后面是连接两个介词(短语)或动名词时,就要这样使用,例如：　　We will have the meeting in the classroom rather than in the great hall. 我们是在教室里开会,不是在大厅里.　　She enjoys singing rather than dancing. 她喜欢唱歌,而不喜欢跳舞.

rather than 是一个并列连词,用法比较复杂,现归纳如下：

　　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.
　　(2) 连接两个形容词　　 The sweater she bought was beautiful rather than cheap. 与其说她买的这件羊毛衫便 宜不如说它漂亮.
　　(3) 连接两个介词(短语)或动名词　　　　(4) 连接两个分句　 　We should help him rather than he should help us. 是我们应该帮助他而不是他应该帮助我们.
　　(5) 连接两个不定式　　 I decided to write rather than (to) telephone. 我决定写信而不打电话.　　 注意：rather than 后接不定式时,不定式可以带to,也可以不带to, 如上句.但rather than位于句首时,则只能接不带to 的不定式.如：Rather than allow the vegetables to go bad, he sold them at half price. 他唯恐蔬菜烂掉,把它们以半 价卖掉了.
　　(6) 连接两个动词　 　He ran rather than walked. 他是跑来的,而不是走来的.　　 注意：这里rather than 后用了walked,而没有用walk,表示客观事实,而不是主观愿 望.如果换成walk,则作“宁愿……而不愿 ……”解.

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.(2) 连接两个形容词 The sweater she bought was beautiful rather than cheap.与其说她买的这件羊毛衫便宜不如说它漂亮.(3) 连接两个介词(短语)或动名词 We will have the meeting in the classroom rather than in the great hall.我们是在教室里开会,不是在大厅里.She enjoys singing rather than dancing.她喜欢唱歌,而不喜欢跳舞.(4) 连接两个分句 We should help him rather than he should help us.是我们应该帮助他而不是他应该帮助我们.(5) 连接两个不定式 I decided to write rather than (to) telephone.我决定写信而不打电话.注意：rather than 后接不定式时,不定式可以带to,也可以不带to,如上句.但rather than位于句首时,则只能接不带to 的不定式.如：Rather than allow the vegetables to go bad,he sold them at half price.他唯恐蔬菜烂掉,把它们以半价卖掉了.
(6) 连接两个动词
He ran rather than walked.他是跑来的,而不是走来的.注意：这里rather than 后用了walked,而没有用walk,表示客观事实,而不是主观愿望.如果换成walk,则作“宁愿……而不愿……”解.
instead of:代替,而不是...例句与用法:1.I made this cake specially,withbrown sugar instead of white.我特别地以红糖代替白糖做了这个蛋糕.2.I gave him advice instead of money.我给了他忠告,而不是钱.
in place of是代替某种职务

C

instead of 是对的.
这句话里有这么个意思：很多人认为孩子该受责备,但应该是父母受责备.所以父母和孩子的关系是instead,就是替代的关系,“不是XX而是XX”.而rather than有“宁可选择其一而不要其二”的意思,不大恰当了
另外i,看你的中文,这样写更好：it is the parents that should be blamed,not the children.

你是想自己写诗吗,还是自己在做哲学思考?
Love a person is to hope he get happiness rather than to occupy his body.

or rather 的意思是更确切的说.例如:He played the computer game till late last night,or rather,early this morning.昨天他玩电脑游戏到深夜,或者跟确切地说,到今天凌晨.

(6) 连接两个动词
He ran rather than walked.他是跑来的,而不是走来的.

肯定是D 要么就是prefer to riding或者是prefer riding
至于prefer to为什么+doing,因为prefer to失是连在一起使用,是倾向于的意思,如果to 和 do连在一起使用,那就不用ing形式了
对比一下这个句子Rather than using words,algebra uses symbols to make statements about things.
Rather than____ on a crowed bus,是一个独立结构,一定要用doing 要么就是to do ；B显然不对prefer 不可能直接+do
People prefer to walking several miles to watch the Chinese opera rather than watching TV at home for they can taste the flavor of the spring festival.
再看看这个
总之,无可否认,prefer to do 与 prefer doing to doing 是主要用法,但prefer to doing也是可以；
还有就是Rather than____ on a crowed bus,由于这个逗号使其成为一个独立的句子 所以要用ing形式,这是确实存在的,算是一种书写习惯,还有一种书写习惯就是Rather than____ on a crowed bus,he aways prefers____ a bicycle.句中的两个动词时态保持一致,也就是说由于prefer to 最常用的是+do,所以前面的动词也就用了do
总是.语法比较鸡肋,要多读文章

楼主理解有误.
rather than是并列连词,并非介词,用于连接前后两个并列部分.
这两个部分在性质上要求一致,比如都是名词/形容词/副词等.
比如：I‘m (strong) rather than (weak).都是形容词
I don't understand (how it is used) rather than (its meaning).都是名词性成分
而且如果其前后部分结构类似的话,则甚至会要求形式上完全一致.
如前后都是不定式,都是动名词,都是动词过去分词,都是动名词等等.
楼主这个例句中,rather than前后就是两个不定式短语,不过第二个不定式短语中的to可以省略.
所以更常用的写法是：I prefer to stay at home rather than (省略to) go outside.
至于成分上,to stay at home和(to) go outside做prefer的（并列）宾语.

He prefers（）rather than（）the train .A.walk ,take.B.to walk,to take.C,to walk,take.D,walk,to tak

只要分辨出原来的结构就可以迎刃而解,
例如：
Rather than take a taxi,he would walk home.
主句是 would+动原,那么rather than 后面跟动原

Rather than surfing the internet,he likes reading books.
主句是 like doing 那么rather than 后面跟动词ing形式.


若有疑问及时追问,如满意请点击下面的“选为满意答案”按钮,谢谢!O(∩_∩)O

that 是个强调句啊 it is/was 强调部分 that 其他``` 可以理解为：(what you do rather than what you say) matters.括号里可以理解为主

第一句和第二句是不对称的,第三句是对称的,即：called 与 said并列.
有关rather than的用法,请参考下面资料：
rather than用法集锦
一、rather than用作连词,连接两个平行结构.既可以表示主观愿望上的决择,“与其…宁可…”,也可以表示客观程度上的差异,“与其说是…不如说是…”.例如：
1、接代词
1）I,rather than you,should do the work.
该做这工作的是我,而不是你.
2、接名词
2）John ought to go rather than Jean.约翰比琴更应该去.

有时候我们不吃土豆,而吃米饭.
3、接形容词
5）These shoes are comfortable rather than for your friend.
这鞋不好看可是舒服.
6）You are doing this for yourself rather than for your friend.
你不是为你朋友,而是为你自己做这种事.
7)I'd prefer to go in August rather than in July.我愿8月去不愿7月去.
5、接动名词
8)I always prefer starting early,rather than leaving everything to the last minute,
我总是愿意早开始而不愿意把所有事情都留到最后才做.
9)He was engaged in writing a letter rather than reading the newspaper.
他那时是在写信而不是看报纸.
6、接过去分词
10)She insisted on having the room papered rather than painted.
她坚持要用纸裱糊房间,而不是把房间粉刷一下.
7、接不定式
11)I decided to write rather than telephone.我决定写信而不是打电话.
12)They prefer to die fighting rather than live in enslavement.
他们宁可战死,也不肯活着受奴役.
13)I prefer to work rather than remain idle.我宁愿工作而不愿闲着.
8、接谓语动词
14)He told a lie rather than get his friend into trouble.
他宁愿说谎也不愿连累朋友.
15)Shall we go for a walk rather than watch television?
咱们不看电视,出去散步,好不好?
16)He ran rather than walked.他跑步而不是步行.
rather than后接动词原形表示主观抉择,接一个动词的过去式则表示客观差异.
9、接从句
17)It was what he meant rather than what he said.
那是指他话中的意思,而不是他所说的话.
18)It was what he had caten rather than what he had drunk that made him ill.使他得病的不是他喝的东西,而是他吃的东西.
二、rather than用作介词
R.Quirk编著的《英语语法大全》p.1387明确指出：和as well as及in stead of一样,rather than后面跟一个和母句中的动词形式并不匹配的ing分词分句时,它是介词,而不是准并列连词：
19）Their actions precipitated the war rather than averting it.
他们的行为促使战争爆发而不是避免战争.
20）Rather than a new car,he bought a colour television.
他买了一台彩电,而不是一辆新车.
21）Let's finish the job today,rather than leaving it till tomorrow.
让咱们今天干完工作,而不是留到明天.
三、rather than用作从属连词,引导一种优选分句.
R.Quirk在《英语语法大全》p.1540指出：优先分句主要用从属连词rather than和sooner than引导,用不带to的不定式作该分句的谓语动词：
22）Rather than go there by air,I'd take the slowest train.
我宁愿乘最慢的火车,也不愿乘飞机去那儿.
[解题过程]
如果在两者中进行取舍,表示“宁愿……而不愿……,与其……宁可……”的意思时,则可用would rather…than…或would…rather than…的句型 .没有什么区别.
例 :
I would rather watch TV at home than go to the cinema.我宁可在家看电视而不愿去看电影.
The children would walk there rather than take a bus.孩子们宁愿步行去那里而不愿乘公共汽车.
请注意:
1） would rather…than…/would…rather than…也可以颠倒为：rather than…would….Would(rather)和than后都接不带to的动词不定式,若选用的动词相同,那么than 后的动词可以省略.
例 I would rather have noodles than rice.我宁愿吃面条也不吃米饭.
He would rather drink wine than beer． 他喜欢喝红葡萄酒而不喜欢喝啤酒.
Rather than work in such bad condition,he would give up.与其在这样差的条件下工作,他宁愿放弃.
2)使用would rather…than…句型时要注意“平行结构”,即在than 的前后要用两个同类的词或词组,如两个名词、两个不定式、两个介词短语等.
例 I would rather go to work by bike than by bus.我宁愿骑自行车也不愿乘公共汽车去上班.
I would rather talk with his mother than with his father.我宁愿和他妈说话而不愿和他爸说话.

I prefer to receive gifts rather than give gifts.(recring是receiving )即：prefer to do sth rather than do sth 和后者比起来更宁愿做前者

more than(1) more than+数词,意为“……以上；多于……；……有余”.
More than 20 club members attended the meeting.

(2) more than+名词,意为“不只；不仅仅”.
Peace is much more than the absence of war.
和平不仅仅是意味着没有战争.
(3) more than+形容词或副词,意为“非常；十分；更加；岂止”.
He is more than selfish.
他非常自私.
(4) more than+动词,意为“十分；大大地；不仅仅.
He more than smiled ; he laughed outright.
他岂止是微笑,他简直是大笑了.
(5) More than…can /could ,意为“不能……”.
The beauty of Hangzhou is more than words can describe.
杭州之美是语言所不能描述的.
That’s more than I can tell your,sir.
这一点我是不能告诉您的,先生.
2． rather than “而不是；而没有”
rather than 很像一个连词,前后常用一种平行结构,即前面用名词,后面也跟名词；前面用动词原形,后也要接动词原形.
He is an artist rather than a politician.
他是一位艺术家,而不是政治家.
He was engaged in writing rather than reading the newspaper.
他在忙着写东西,而不是在读报纸.

肯定是：prefer to do sth.rather than do sth “宁愿,也不”
rather than后面是没有to的,直接加动词原型短语就可以了.

选A. rather than 后面应该带动词原形
prefer to + V. rather than + V. 宁愿…也不…
更喜欢（前者）：prefer to do sth.
prefer + V-ing to + V-ing

These pots are hand made rather than by machinery.
