| 单词 | rather |
| 释义 | rather adv.相当，有一点儿〖同〗fairly；宁愿，宁可；更确切些 〖题〗These shoes are ___ too big. A.rather B.fairly C.quite D.such 〖解〗答案A。句意：这些鞋太大。fairly是个中性词，指事物的特性既不好也不坏，如 The weather was fairly cold.（有些冷，但不是很冷）He was driving fairly fast.（比较快，但不是很快）；rather的语气比fairly强，暗示着事物的特性不好或不合适，如It's rather cold.（比我希望的要冷）He was a driving rather fast.（过于快）；quite不能和too连用；such所修饰的最终应是名词。 〖题〗Rather than ___ by bus, he walks to his office every day. A.to go B.go C.going D.having gone 〖解〗答案B。rather than“（宁愿……）而不……”，作此义解时后面跟不带to的不定式；rather than作“而不是”解时，后面可跟名词，形容词或跟限定动词，如 He was an objective rather than a subjective writer。 |
