在KET考试中阅读占很大的比例，而阅读的模块中都是围绕词汇和语法展开的。许多考生被扣分很大一部分原因也是因为语法，今天小编就和大家一起看看英语阅读中的高频短语rather than用法总结。

一、当rather than表示“而不是”的意思时

它后面可以跟名词、代词、形容词、副词、介词短语、不定式、现在分词、过去分词、甚至从句，但这些必须和前面的成分是并列同等的。

例如：

I like football rather than basketball. （名词）

You should go there rather than I.（代词）

These shoes are comfortable rather than good-looking.（形容词）

He writes fast rather than carefully.（副词）

She did it by herself rather than with the help of others.（介词短语）

She was smiling rather than laughing.（现在分词）

He was rewarded rather than punished.（过去分词）

We should try to reform criminals rather than (to) punish them.

我们应该尽力改造罪犯，而不是惩罚他们。（不定式）

I come here to help you rather than to harm you.

我到这里是来帮助你的，不是来伤害你的。（不定式）

I reasoned rather than quarreled with him.

我理论，而不是和他吵架。（并列过去式）

I should thank you rather than that you thank me.

我应当谢你而不是你谢我。（句子）

I would go to see my uncle right now rather than when I have time some day.（从句）

上述例句中，rather than之后实际上是省略了与前面相对应的成分。

二、当rather than表示“宁可不”的意思时

其后的动词一律用原形，不管前面的谓语是什么时态。

例如：

We insisted on starting the work at once rather than leave it for the next day.

He sold the vegetables at half price rather than allow them to go bad.

The hero would die rather than give in.

I prefer to walk there rather than take a bus.

Some people prefer to brazen a thing out rather than admit defeat.

It is better to express your anger, rather than bottle it up.

生气宁可发泄出来而不要闷在肚内。

I prefer to walk there rather than take a bus.

与其坐公共汽车去，还不如走路去。

此外，rather than经常和would和had 连用，构成would rather … than (宁愿…而不) 和 had rather … than (宁愿…而不)句型。

例如:

The hero would rather die than give in.

I had rather wait here than go away.

三、更多 rather than 用法例句：

These are political matters rather than social matters.

这是政治问题，而不是社会问题。

It is a telex rather than a letter.

与其说它是一封信，不如说它是一封电传。

She is pretty rather than attractive.

她是漂亮，而不吸引人。

他决定去巴黎，不去伦敦。

我想喝冷饮，不想喝咖啡。

She is a career woman rather than a housewife.

她是职业妇女而不是家庭主妇。

我宁愿在草地上面走而不愿走小路，草地柔软多了。

他总是考虑别人而不是自己本身。
