好象要用rather than

我也不太清楚，感觉instead比较顺口，另外好像rather比较带有主观意识，不知道对不对，大家继续讨论。

帮你搜索了一下，有篇文章说：

一般but rather前面要有否定词，longman:

not ... but rather ...
used to say that one thing is not true but a different thing is true
The problem is not their lack of funding, but rather their lack of planning

找到大牛的依据了，说法同上longman，自己看看：

谢谢seasnow MM!

不过,好象都是说but rather 的,前一般有not;这样在but的情况下就好区别了.

问题是,如果是在and instead 和and rather中选择,就象本题,前面也没有not,该怎么取舍? 还是搞不清.也许这种选择不会出现在题里,不过从GMAT的题看,对于INSTEAD 和 RATHER的应用还是有考察的,希望弄清,请继续指导!

谢谢先!

不客气, 大家讨论嘛.

就是不知道我的语感对不对啊, 如果对的话, ra t he r 在这里不能用, 因为带有主观意愿; 而这里描述的是客观事实, 所以要用instead.

请大家指正!

赫连勃勃

instead是代替，rather是宁可，这样理解对不对？

kevinZhang

rather 和 instead都表示 contrast或者alternative.

可能在主客观上有区分吧.再总结总结,找找证据.谢谢.

大家什么时间考啊?

我觉得A答案有问题。划线部分的过去完成时态不合语法规定。可是为什么要在这里用
此时态呢？请过路侠客不吝赐教！谢谢！

我觉得表示“不是。。。而是。。。”的对比，instead 和 not...but rather可以对换，而和rather则不可以。

我觉得区别在于not...but rather 的用法比较严格，要求完全平行的结构（因为就等于是not ... but)，而用instead则没有对结构平行的要求。如上题，若改成the economy will not fall in recession that ...， but rather will come in for a “soft landing”，我觉得应该就可以了。类似的例句在Longman里还有：The local medical men did not object, but rather commended them for their cheapness.

而instead的用法则比较灵活，longman的解释是“used to say what is done, when you have just said that a particular thing is not done”。例如上句（改动后的）也能改成：the economy will not fall in recession that ...；Instead, it will come in for a “soft landing” 或 the economy will not fall in recession that ...。 It will come in for a “soft landing” instead. 这里instead可翻译为“相反的”。而我尚没有找到rather单独表示这个意思的用法
