rather than 与rather...than的区别

区别：

1、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。

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。

2、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。请注意would rather…than…/would…rather than…也可以颠倒为：rather than…

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。
