2 请问这里的 rather 是什么词性或者意思？
整句话：
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us ，we often find that it is those who， instead of giving much advice， solutions or cures，have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand.
我知道instead of...是插入语，而后面rather是什么意思，副词？还是什么？是否跟前面的插入语有联系？

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us ，we often find that it is those who， instead of giving much advice， solutions or cures，have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand.
参考译文：当我们诚实地问我们自己生活中哪个人对我们最重要的时候，我们经常发现，是那些没有给我们很多建议、解决方案或治疗方法，而是选择用温柔的手分享我们的痛苦，触摸我们的伤口的人。
解答：rather 为副词，修饰谓语动词“have chosen”引出一个与前面相反的观点和看法。
rather adv.相反，反而，而是 (英文解释：used to introduce an idea that is different or opposite to the idea that you have stated previously)
The walls were not white, but(they were省略) rather a sort of dirty gray.
墙面不是白的，而是灰不溜秋的。
