rather的各种用法

句子：I made rather an idot of myself in front of him

疑问：这里的 rather 什么词性呢？能讲一下 rather 的各种用法么？

▲rather 与不定冠词连用时，通常要置于不定冠词之前。如：

That would be rather a pity, wouldn’t it? 那真是遗憾，是不是?

Her great height was rather a handicap. 她个子很高，反而造成不便。

▲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。如：

He’s in rather a [a rather] negative frame of mind. 他的情绪相当消极。

I found myself in rather an [a rather] awkward situation. 我发现自己的处境相当尴尬。

My interference had rather an [a rather] unfortunate result. 我的干预导致了相当令人遗憾的后果。
