UKiset推理考试主要考察学生根据词汇解决问题的能力,例如单词的近义词、反义词、词语创造等词汇类测试。下面就和小编一起看看今天的词汇辨析rather than和other than区别讲解。
rather than
①表示“是...而不是...;代替”时,侧重于指客观上的差别。如:
I call her hair chestnut rather than brown.
我宁愿说她的头发是栗色的,而不愿说她的头发是棕色的。(rather than前后可接形容词)
②表示“与其...倒不如(宁可)...”时,侧重句子主语或说话人主观上的选择。如:
The person who should be praised is you rather than me.(rather than前后可接代词)
该受到表扬的人是你,而不是我。
注意:rather than是连词,通常连接两个并列成分,前后所连的词性必须保持一致。
除了以上例如说的可接形容词,代词外,还可接名词、动名词、谓语动词、动词不定式、介词短语等。
other than
①表示否定意义,即“不同于,非",相当于different from。如:
The truth is quite other than what you think.
事实真相和你们想的完全不一样。(other than后可接从句)
②表示排除意义,即“除了”,相当于except(常用于否定结构中)。如:
1.There’s nobody here other than me.
除了我这里没别人。(other than后可接代词)
2.You can’t get there other than by swimming.
你只能靠游泳游到那边去。(other than后可接介词短语)
③还有“除...以外,还...”的意思,相当于besides。如:
English is now spoken in many countries other than England.
除了英国外,其他许多国家都讲英语。(other than后可接名词)
注:other than后还可接形容词、副词、介词短语、过去分词、不定式等。
敲黑板
一、rather than后面接动词不定式时,rather than后的to可省略:
I decided to write rather than (to) telephone.
我决定写信而不打电话。
二、rather than还可以拆开使用,和 would 或 had 构成“ would/had rather … than ”的结构,than 前后也必须保持相互对等的结构。如:
1.Kids would rather play than study.
孩子们宁愿玩也不愿学习。
2.He himself believed in freedom, so much so that he would rather die than live without it.
他非常崇尚自由,不自由,毋宁死。
三、当 would rather 被用作谓语动词后接宾语从句时,从句中的谓语动词应用虚拟形式。如:
I'd rather you came tomorrow than today.
我宁愿你明天来,而不是今天来。
四、other than的其他搭配:
1.nothing other than 只是,仅仅
They were given nothing other than dry bread and water for their evening meal.
他们只得到了干面包和水作晚餐。
2.no (加名词) other than 正是,恰恰是
He is no other than the professional talent we are looking for.
他正是我们要物色的专业人才。
The murderer turned out to be no other person than the inspector himself.
结果,那个谋杀犯不是别人,正是巡检官自己。
3.none other than
It was none other than Mr. Wang.
不是旁人而正是王先生。
综上所述,rather than 常表示“是...而不是...”的意思,侧重于指客观上的差别;而other than 常表示“除...之外”的意思,且常用于否定结构。
