instead of和instead有什么区别

instead of和instead有什么区别？

以下为个人综合资料而得的理解，不足之处欢迎交流。首先得把A rather than B（A 而不是B; 与其A，不如说是B） 和would A rather than B (宁愿做A而不愿做B)分辨开，再来比较rather than 和 instead of

1.所接成分的区别：rather than: 它连接的并列成分可以是名词、代词、形容词、介词(短语)、动名词、分句、不定式、动词等。instead of：通常情况下，除了不能加动词之外，其他成分（名词、代词、形容词、介词(短语)、动名词、分句、不定式）都可以加。而且，通常情况下，可以互换。(1) 连接两个名词或代词 He rather than you is going to go camping. 是你而不是我要去要野营。 He instead of you is going to go camping. 注意：rather than 连接两个名词或代词作主语时，谓语动词应与rather than 前面的名词或代词在人称和数上保持一致。 (2) 连接两个形容词 Things are getting worse rather than better.Things are getting worse instead of better.(3) 连接两个介词(短语)或动名词 We will have the meeting in the classroom rather than in the great hall. We will have the meeting in the classroom instead of in the great hall. (4) 连接不定式I went to borrow a book rather than to buy one.I went to borrow a book instead of to buy one.（5）rather than 后面可加动词；此处只是表示两个平行结构，所以用过去式。She ran rather than walked.

2.rather than 可以表示 “与其说，不如说”的意思，而instead of 没有这个意思。He is an explorer rather than a sailor. 与其说他是一个海员，不如说他是一个探险者。 The sweater she bought was cheap rather than beautiful. 与其说她买的这件羊毛衫便漂亮不如说它便宜。
