rather than是一个常用词组,意思是“而不是……”。
“It's when you want to express that it's better to do one thing than another.”
比如:“I would rather eat Chinese food than Japanese food.”
但rather than难的不是意思和用法,而是它的读音。因为它有两个“th”。
多少人把this念成“戴斯”,把father念成“法则”,把though念成“逗”了?rather than具体怎么读,让我们的外教老师来演示吧。
点击下面播放例句:
(注意男女外教的口音不太一样,可能Rob老师的更清晰一些)
I would like a dog rather than a cat.
(我更喜欢狗而不是猫)
We want a small house rather than a big house.
(比起大房子,我们宁愿要小房子)
The girls want to travel to London rather than New York.
(这群女孩更想去伦敦而不是纽约)
My dogs like to sleep in the room rather than in their dog house.
(比起在狗窝里,我的狗狗们更爱在房间里睡)
We like to watch television rather than read books
(我们想要看电视而不是看书)
现在试着用这些词汇里造句吧。
Books / movies
e.g. I would rather watch a movie than read a book.
Chicken / fish
Harbin / Hainan
Black / pink
America / England
Rich / beautiful
Rice / noodles
