ratherthan rather和rather than的区别

一、rather than意思与用法
不要被英语翻译，我曾经就被翻译误导过。你知道咋用就行了。
1.rather you than me.这是你们课文里的--你行我不行。就是you比me强。than后面那个总是不好的。
2.would rather do than do也是取前面好，后面不好。
3.prefer to do rather than do做前面的好，做后面的不好。
考点就是这些，这些句型会了就可以。不用纠结翻译。
最后强调一下单独用would rather就是说宁愿做...其中不存在比较。
I‘d rather do my homework.我宁愿做作业。
归结一句话：只要有rather就翻译为愿意做...哪怕心理不甘愿。但是只要有than就说明起码做起来比than后面那件事愿意的多。不明白可以继续问。
二、rather和rather than的区别
adv.稍微，有点；相当，颇；宁愿；相反地
（要）…而不…，与其…倒不如…； instead of sb/sth而不是
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）I,rather than you,should do the work.
2）John ought to go rather than Jean.约翰比琴更应该去。
3）I think I'll have a cold drink rather than coffee.
我想我该要一杯冷饮，而不要咖啡。
4）We sometimes eat rice instead of potatoes.
有时候我们不吃土豆，而吃米饭。
5）These shoes are comfortable rather than for your friend.
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。

38、a.引导选择状语从句(adverbial clause of preference)或选优分句(clause of preference)
39、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。

47、I'd rather take the slowest train than go there by air.
48、我宁愿做最慢的火车，也不乘飞机去那里。
49、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：
50、Rather than you say anything, I would speak to the manager myself.
51、我宁愿亲自跟经理谈，你任何事也别谈。
52、Rather than she should feel lonely, her friends arranged to take her with them on the trip.
53、她的朋友宁愿安排她同他们一起去旅行，好让她不感到寂寞。
54、b.引导比较状语从句(adverbial clause of com parison)
55、该从句表示同主句的内容进行比较，即同主句中的其他任何成分比较，有时也可同整个主句进行比较。从句中的谓语动词通常不用否定式，一般用(should)型虚拟式。从句多位于主句后，也可位于主句前。其结构形式为“rather than that...”
56、I will help you rather than that you(should)have any trouble.
57、我会帮助你，不会让你遇到任何麻烦。
