rather than doing sth与rather than do sth区别?
rather than doing sth与rather than do sth区别?
rather than doing sth与rather than do sth都是表示"宁願"…"不願"…的连词,二者主要区别在于连接的两个句子中的成份不同。
rather than do sth用于连接两个不定式。而rather than doing sth用于连接两个动名词。
具体介绍如下:
1,当连接两个不定式时,用rather than do sth进行连接。如,
I decided to write rather than (to) telephone。
我决定写信而不打电话。
注意:rather than 后接不定式时,不定式可以带to,也可以不带to, 如上句。 但rather than位于句首时,则只能接不带to 的不定式。
They prefer to die fighting rather than(to) live in enslavement.
他们宁可战死,也不肯活着受奴役。
I prefer to work rather than(to) remain idle.
我宁愿工作而不愿闲着。
2。当连接两个动名词的时候,用的是rather than doing进行连接。如,
She enjoys singing rather than dancing。
她喜欢唱歌,而不喜欢跳舞。
I always prefer starting early,rather than leaving everything to the last minute,
我总是愿意早开始而不愿意把所有事情都留到最后才做.
He was engaged in writing a letter rather than reading the newspaper.
他那时是在写信而不是看报纸。
it is better to do than to do?
在it is better to do than to do这种句型中,it是形式主语,真正的主语是句子中的第一个(前面的个)不定式,is是系动词作谓语,better是表语。真正的结构是:
to do (sth.) is better than to do (sth.).
例句:
It is better to give than to receive.
实际上是: To give is better than to receive.
奉献比索取好。
do more than后面是动词原形吗?
more than 的前后是平行结构,前面是do后面就接do,前面是ing,后面就接ing。
could do worse than是什么意思?
应该翻译成:做得比不做.更糟,或者是,不会做得比做.更好,或者是,最好做.
比如14年考研真题:
She could do worse than read Happy Money.
她可能做得比读《快乐消费》更糟。
=
她不会做的比不读《快乐消费》更好。
=
她最好读《快乐消费》。
也就是说could do worse than(做得比不做.更不好)=couldn't do better than(做得不能比.更好)
