可以。rather than连接的并列成分除不定式和动名词外,还可以是名词、代词、形容词、副词、介词短语、谓语、分句……等等。例如:

Tom rather than Jack likes Chinese. 是汤姆喜欢汉语而不是杰克。

He was mad rather than brave. 与其说他勇敢不如说他发疯了。

He ran rather than walked. 他在跑而不是在走。

You bumped me rather than I bumped you. 是你撞了我,而不是我撞了你。

 Some people thought that light came from the eye rather than coming into the eye. rather than后面coming可以换成came吗,rather than做连词和介词

      【答】《薄冰英语惯用法词典》指出:“后面也可以接与谓语动词时态一致的动词形式(多为过去时)。例如:He ran rather than walked. 他是跑而不是走。”所以,下列句子是正确的: Some people thought that light came from the eye rather than came into the eye. (此句中的 rather than 是连词)

        网友句子也是正确的:Some people thought that light came from the eye rather than coming into the eye.(此句中的 rather than 是介词,其后的  coming into the eye 是动名词短语作宾语)
