rather后接比较级对吗?

ather ad。1。相当,颇,有点儿 I'm feeling rather sleepy。我有点困倦。2。(常与would或had连用)宁可,宁愿;(与其。。。)倒不如;而不是 He would rather play than work。他宁可玩,却不愿工作。I'd rather you knew that now,than afterwards。与其以后让你知道,不如现在就让你知道。I'll never be dependent on anyone again。I'd rather starve。我再也不依靠任何人了。我宁愿饿死。3。(常与or连用)更确切地说 He left late last night,or rather early this morning。他昨夜很晚,或者应该说是今天一大早才走。4。【英】(用于回答问题)确是如此;当然 课文中出现的一句话:They knew,or rather thought that their father was on the same train。他们知道,或者说他们认为他们的父亲是在同一列车上的。这里or rather是固定短语,意为"或者说;更确切地说"。那么rather还有哪些用法呢?一、 用作程度副词,意为"稍微;有点;颇;相当" 1。rather可以修饰形容词、副词的原级、比较级等;可以与介词短语连用。如:She was rather hurt by his unkind words。She's rather better today。She looks rather like her father。These materials are rather too difficult for the seniors。2。rather放在不定冠词a（n）前后均可。如:Miss Smart has got a rather（=rather a） good voice。二、 用作副词,意为"宁可,宁愿" 1。rather than意为"而不是;与其……不如",后接名词、代词、形容词、动词原形等。如:These shoes are comfortable rather than pretty。Rather than allow the vegetables to go bad,he sold them at half price。It is he rather than I who is to blame。2。would rather do。。。than do。。。=would do。。。rather than do。。。宁愿做……而不愿做……。如:I would go there by bus rather than take the train。3。prefer to do。。。rather than do。。。宁愿做……而不愿做……。如:We prefer to receive money rather than the usual gifts。三、 用作感叹词,意为"当然" - Would you like a swim?- Rather。四、 习惯用语及搭配 1。or rather更确切,更恰当； 更接近。如:He went home very late last night,or rather,in the early hours this morning。2。would rather意为"宁愿",后接动词原形,其否定形式是would rather not do。如:Which would you rather have,tea or coffee?American young people would rather get advice from strangers。3。I would rather that。。。这是虚拟语气形式,若从句表示与现在或将来的情况相反,用一般过去时;与过去的事实相反,用过去完成时。如:I would rather you came tomorrow。I'd rather you hadn't told her the news yesterday。
