  rather的用法:rather作副词用时,意为更确切地

  此用法的rather常用在or rather这一短语中,表示想要纠正已经说过的话,或欲使已说过的话更确切。如:

  The building is like a palace, or rather a temple. 这幢建筑物像一座宫殿,或者更确切地说像一座寺庙。

  He worked till late last night, or rather, early in the morning. 他一直工作到深夜,或者更确切地说,到今天凌晨。

  rather的用法:rather作副词用时, 还可作相当;颇;有点儿解

  You’ve done rather well.你做得相当好。

  The way he is living is rather strange to me. 他的生活方式我觉得很怪。

  rather, fairly, quite, pretty的区别:

  1. 从程度上说, fairly是最轻的一个;quite比fairly 语气稍强;rather 在程度上比quite更重一些;pretty 和rather 差不多,但大多数情况下用于非正式文体。如:

  They were getting along fairly well with each other. 他们相处还不错。

  Twenty-five is pretty old to take up ballet dancing.二十五岁才学跳芭蕾,年纪就太大了。

  2. rather 和quite可放在不定冠词前,也可放在不定冠词之后,还可以和动词连用,而fairly 和pretty没有这些用法。如:

  That is quite / rather a surprising result. =That is a quite / rather surprising result. 那是一个相当惊人的结果。

  I rather / quite like to go for a walk after supper. 我颇喜欢在晚饭后出去散步。

  3. 只有rather可以修饰比较级,还可和too连用。如:

  This book is rather too difficult for the beginners.这部书对初学者来说太难了。

  rather的用法:rather than 的用法

  rather 不仅是一个表示程度的副词,还能用来表示选择,意为而非;(与其......)倒不如。rather than 经常用在平行结构里,即连接两个对等成分。

  (3) 接动词原形,表示“而不是”:

  rather与同义词的区分

  rather作为独立的副词使用,可表示“相当”的意思。其同义词有:pretty, quite, fairly。它们表示“相当”的程度从强到弱依次为:rather, pretty, quite, fairly

  1. 当rather修饰表示批评、失望、惊奇等带有负面含义的形容词和副词时,该词传达说话人的一种否定、不赞成的态度,意为“颇为,在一定程度上”。例如:

  This initially rather dull hobby had led him into fresh fields of enjoyment.

  这个刚开始颇无趣的爱好带他进入了一个全新的乐土。

  2. 与fairly的区别

  fairly也可表示“颇,在一定程度上”的意思,但通常置于一些带有肯定、正面含义的形容词和副词之前。如果所修饰的形容词或副词为中性词,那么用rather,就会传达出说话人否定、不赞成的态度,用fairly则传达说话人肯定的态度。

  北京的夏天太热了。

  The summer in Beijing is rather hot.

  (The speaker dislikes it.)

  说话者不太喜欢

  北京的夏天挺干燥的。

  The summer in Beijing is fairly dry.

  (The speaker likes it.)

  说话者喜欢这种适宜的感觉。

  3. 与pretty, quite等的用法区别

  修饰单数可数名词时,fairly和pretty只能放在冠词之后,而quite 和rather 可前可后。

  这是一部好电影。

  It is quite a good film.

  =It is a quite good film.

  It is rather a good film.

  =It is a rather good film.
