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!

3.(用于too之前表强调)太：

二、用于短语
1. or rather 更确切地说

I explained to him how far things had got, or rather had not got. 我向他说明形势发展到何种程度，或者更确切地说向他说明形势没有发展到何种程度。
2. rather than 而不是，(不是…)而是：He ran rather than walked. 他不是在走而是在跑。
You are doing this for yourself rather than for me. 你做这件事不是为我而是为你自己。
It was what he meant rather than what he said. 这是他话里的意思，而不是他说的原话。
3. would rather...(than)… 宁愿…(而不愿)：I’d rather walk than take a bus. 我宁愿走路而不愿乘公共汽车。
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。

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。
