adv.副词
rather, fairly这两个词的共同意思是“相当”。其区别在于: 1.fairly主要用来修饰含有“好”的意思的形容词或副词,如good, well, attractive等; 而rather主要用来修饰含有“不好”的意思的形容词或副词,如bad, foolish, ugly等。例如: The red shirt fits you fairly well.这件红色衬衣挺适合你穿。2.如果被修饰的形容词或副词是中性的,如fair, cold, hot等,用fairly表示“赞同,赞赏”; 而用rather则表示“反对,不喜欢”。试比较: 今天天气相当冷。 It is fairly cold today.表示满意 It is rather cold today.表示不满意 3.不定冠词可以放在rather之前或之后,但只能放在fairly之前。例如: He is rather a stupid man.他是个相当蠢的人。
It is a rather good film.这是部很好的电影。
She is a fairly clever girl.她是个很聪明的女孩。4.rather可以用在alike, like, similar, different等词和形容词比较级前,意思是“有点”; 而fairly不能这样用。例如: The two brothers are rather alike.这两兄弟长得有点像。5.当rather用来修饰含有“好”的意思的形容词或副词时,意思接近very,在语气上比fairly强。 6.rather可以放在like, enjoy, love, respect等动词前,表示一种出乎意料的喜欢,或用来加强语气; 而fairly不能这样用。例如: He rather liked walking in the rain.他竟喜欢走在雨中。rather than, better thanrather than强调通过选择而喜欢某物或情愿采取某行动; better than强调比较,不强调主观愿望或选择。 来自 rathe,早的，急切的，-er,比较级后缀。即更早的，更快的，引申副词词义相当，颇，相 较。rather than宁可 … 也不愿…had rather宁可宁愿rather too稍嫌but rather而宁可说是, 反而…would rather宁可sooner rather than later尽早would rather do宁愿 …the rather that何况or rather确切地说, 说得更准…pudding rather than praise与其恭维不如实惠…by the string rather than the bow直接了当地I'd rather be right than be president.我宁可不当总统,也要…the rather because 正因为 … 所…would rather have someone's room than someone's company希望某人走开,不愿见…rather…than otherwise不是别的would rather not宁可不不愿…rather rough sea中浪rather too easy for尺码大了号rather…than not不是别的

adv.副词
rather是程度副词,用来修饰原级或比较级形容词和副词、动词、分词或单数名词,意思是“有些”“相当”“多少地”,常用于负面含意。rather可和too连用,作程度状语,但此时不可以修饰比较级。 rather用以减弱而不是加强其后所跟的词或词组的作用,如拒绝别人请求帮助时,显得比较客气,又如为了谦虚,可用这词使自己在引人注目的场面表现得乐而不狂。 rather一般放在不定冠词前面,名词前有形容词时,也可放在不定冠词后面。 rather than和more…than的比较：前者表示“与其……倒不如……”，后者表示“更……比起……”，注意词组more…than中的than前面不可以加上rather。 He depends on you rather than on me.他依赖你胜过依赖我。在rather加形容词再加名词的结构中，冠词a置于rather前后都可以，如a rather big dog和rather a big dog一只相当大的狗两种表达都可以； had rather属于习惯用语，表示“宁愿，宁可”，主语短语中必须用had，不可以改成have，且一般其后面接不含to的不定式。 I had rather stay with John than with Charles.比起查尔斯我宁可和约翰呆一起。had/would rather后一般接不含that所引导的从句，且从句用虚拟语气。had/would rather后还可接than，再加不含to的不定式，还要注意would rather后只可接动词原形。I would/had rather you paid me now.我宁愿你现在付钱给我。 I would rather stay here than go on holiday.我宁愿呆在这里，也不愿意去度假。prefer to…rather than…表示“比起……更喜欢……做某事”，注意结构中than后直接加动词原形，而不是不定式to do。 I prefer to work rather than remian idle.比起无所事事，我更喜欢工作。fairly，quite，rather以及pretty的比较：四个词均属于程度副词。Fairly一般修饰形容词与副词，表示很一般的程度。 quite一般修饰动词和名词，表示的程度要比fairly深一点。 rather一般修饰动词尤其时感观动词和名词，表示的程度比quite要更强烈一点，意为“比预期的还要多一些”。 pretty是非正式用语，修饰形容词与副词，表示的程度与rather相当。“How was the film?”“Fairly good. Not the best one I’ve seen this year.”“How was the film？”“Quite good. You ought to go.”“How was the film?”“Rather good. I was surprised.” “How’s things?”“Pretty good. You OK?”
