英语中，rathe than是什么词性来着？
otherthan基本上有两种用法：①表示否定意义；例：Hewasengagedinwritingaletterratherthanreadingthenewspaper.他那时是在写信而不是看报纸②表示排除意义otherthan=except，but,apartfrom“除……以外”例：thereisnobodyhereotherthanme.这里除了我以外没有别人。ratherthan是一个并列连词，前后两端所连接的词词性一致，通常译为“是…而不是…”或“与其…不如…”有时可用短语借此insteadof代替。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。例：Heisanexplorerratherthanasailor.与其说他是一个海员，不如说他是一个探险者。
other than的用法?other .....than,分开用的，跟rather...than 是一样的用法吗？
这三个短语结构是比较容易混淆的。
other than连在一起用的时候，含义比较多
1. 除了
Does anybody other than yourself know this?除你本人之外还有别人知道这事吗?She has no close friends other than him.除了他以外她没有好朋友。You can't get there other than by boat.除了坐船, 你无法去那里。
2. 绝不是
I have never known him behave other than selfishly.我知道他一向自私自利。He can hardly be other than annoyed about it.他当然只会对此感到烦恼。
prep.1. 不同；不同于；不
I have never known him behave otherthan selfishly. 我知道他一向自私自利。
other...than 是一个比较级的句子，意思是“比其他的XX怎么样”
rather...than 的意思是
1. (要)…而不…, 与其…倒不如…
We'll have the meeting in the classroom rather than in the auditorium.我们与其在礼堂里开会, 不如在教室开会。They thus increased their annual grain production rather than diminished it.他们这样增加了而不是减少了粮食年产量。
2. instead of sb/sth 而不是
Our findings relate to physically ratherthan the visually handicapped pupils. 我们的研究结果是关于肢体残疾的学生，而不是视力有障碍的学生。
可以参考朗文双语词典，柯林斯双语词典等。
other than和except还有besides的区别
except, except for, besides, other than, apart from
几个词的区别 :
英语中意思为“除了……”的表达有except／except for／besides／apart from／but／but for／other than等，它们的用法复杂多变、难以掌握，学生常常为之困惑烦恼。本文将对其进行总结、归纳、练习，使学生能够系统地掌握它们的用法，消除学生几多愁。
1. except和besides都可解作“除……之外”但含义不同。
except表示“从所提到的人或事物中除去，即从整体中除去一部分”，表示递减的概念，含义是否定的。besides表示“除了……之外，还有……”，指“在整体中加入一部分”，表示递加的概念，含义是肯定的。试比较：
①We all went except him.除他之外，我们都去了。(他没有去)
②We all went besides him.除他之外，我们大家也都去了。(他也去了)
(1)besides常与other／more／else等词连用
except常与all／every／everyone／none／nobody／everything／nothing等总括词连用。
eg. He had other people to take care of besides me.
All the students in Class One went to the cinema except Li Ping.
(2)若句中没有实义动词do的某种形式except后接动词不定式而besides后接动词的-ing形式。
I had no choice except to obey／besides obeying his order.
(3)若句中有实义动词do的某种形式二者后面都可以接动词原形。
She has nothing to do except／besides go with him.
(4)二者后面都可以接从句。
①Besides that he explained the theory he gave us some examples.
②He is a good student except that he sometimes comes late to school.
(5)except后面可接for(构成短语except for)或其他介词短语，而besides不能。
except for主要有三层含义：
①表示对整体主要部分的肯定和对局部的否定起部分修正主要意思的作用。
Your composition is quite excellent except for several spelling mistakes.
②表示非同类事物进行比较。
The street is empty except for several cars.
③置于句首，表达except的含义。
Except for this everything is in order.
except for后接名(代)词可以转移为except＋从句或其他介词短语。
The climate here is good except for some rainy days.(except when it rains；except that it sometimes rains；except on the rainy days)注意：二者用于否定句时含义相同，意思是一样的。
He did nothing besides (＝except) this.除这件事外，他什么事也没做。
2. apart from兼有besides和except for两种含义，后接名词、代词或动名词。
3. but含义与except相同，都表示递减的概念，二者在多数情况下可以互换，但用法稍有区别。
①except可以代替but但but并不一定都可以代替except如果句中有no、all、nobody、who、where等不定代词或疑问词时，多用but,后跟宾语从句时，多用except。
②but for含义有时与except for相同，但主要表示“要不是……”，常用于虚拟句，表示一种假设。
③but位置的变化会引起人称代词主、宾格的变化。
No one but I (＝except me) knows it.
No one knows it but me (＝except me)
4. other than含义与except／but相同，都表示从总体中除去一部分后接名词、代词或不定式。
no other than 和 none other than的区别是什么
no other than 与 none other than都可表示“不是别的，正是……”的意思。两者区别不大，常可换用。例如:
1）The tall figure that you saw was no other than our manager.
The tall figure that your way was none other than our manager.
你所见的那位身材魁梧的先生不是别人我们的经理。
2）It was no other than Jones who paid the medical expense for you.
It was none other than Jones who paid the medical expense for you.
为你付医疗费不是别人，正是琼斯。
no other than 侧重于“正是那个”我们所知道的，熟悉的或在谈论的人。有时
可相当于 very 的用法。
1）It was no other than Tommy Traddles who told me this piece of information.
Tommy Traddles was the very person who told me this piece of informatio
告诉我这段消息的不是别人正是 Tommy Traddles。
2）He is no other than the famous writer I have often talked about.
He is the very famous writer I have often talked about.
他正是我经常谈起的那位著名作家。
3）You are no other than the professional talent we are looking for.
You are the very professional talent we are looking for.
你正是我们要物色的专业人材。
none other than 语气更强，表示惊奇、赞美、强调等语气时多用 none other than 。
1）The tall figure over there is none other than the great mathematician, Bill
Williams, himself.
那位身材魁梧的先生正是大数学家贝尔·威廉姆斯本人。 （带有对贝尔·威廉姆斯赞美
之情）
2）The winner of the speech contest was none other than Tom who doesn’t talk
much in daily life.
