标题: OG55 rather than和instead of

55. A recent study has found that within the past few years, many doctors had elected early retirement rather than face the threats of lawsuits and the rising costs of malpractice insurance.

(A) had elected early retirement rather than face

(B) had elected early retirement instead of facing

(C) have elected retiring early instead of facing

(D) have elected to retire early rather than facing

(E) have elected to retire early rather than face

rather than 和 instead of有什么区别呢，我觉得从意思上似乎是可以互相替换的，句子变化不大………………呵呵

谢谢

rather than和instead of的区别在于，rather than是优选结构，百试不爽。

我感觉, "than" in "rather than" 是连词，所以后加句子，句子可以有省略。单 instead of是介词短语，后面的内容有严格的受限于主句的形式。

以下是引用sensornet在2005-5-9 6:34:00的发言：

请问“后面的内容有严格的受限于主句的形式”如何详细解释呢，instead of 一般跟什么呢？

我是从意思上分的：

instead of prep 强调代替（计划的，原有的，习惯的。。。。）

Let's play cards instead of wathing tv.

rather than prep 强调比较(不是。。，不愿。。，不想。。。）

I think i will have a cold drink rather than coffee。

好像大全里所有的题，凡是出现了in stead of和rather than的，总是选rather than。

至少我还没碰到过，xixi。不过本题里面ETS的解释里面并没有说这两个有什么不同。

哪位xdjm有没有碰到过相反的例子啊？

请问这道题目答案是什么？

好像所有rather than 的答案都是前后不平行的啊。

所以这道题的答案是选E嘛

这道题的答案是什么？

应该是E，不能用过去完成时，排除前两个。前后结构平行E

The "of" in "instead of" is a preposition, and its object must be a noun. Thus, "instead of" can only be used to compare single nouns, and the GMAT Sentence Correction seems to avoid even this use. The GMAT also seems to avoid the "instead of" [gerund] structure. The "than" in "rather than" is a subordinate clause, so the structure "rather than" is considerably more flexible in what can follow it.
