1//rather than do something属于不定式作介词宾语的范畴吗?类似but to do ,except to to?
【答】rather than do sth. 是个省略说法,只保留了动词不定式。这时, rather than 用作“连词”,连接两个并列的成分。
rather than 是一个常用的固定短语,表示“取舍关系”,rather than 之后的部分被否定(舍去),意为“而不是”。那么,rather than 之后可以跟什么成分呢?
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)
I prefer to walk there rather than take a bus.(不定式)
She was smiling rather than laughing.(现在分词)
He was rewarded rather than punished.(过去分词)
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。
1//对于more than的以下的用法,than是什么词性呢?
【答】以下例句中,more than 看作一个固定搭配,副词用法,表示“程度”。
本义是“不仅仅;远不止;远非”。
引申为“十分;非常”。
在不同语境中,本义和引申义都可取。
