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:

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.
every和each用法上的区别
1.each可作代词和形容词,而every只能用作形容词,如可以说each of these dictionaries或each one of these dictionaries,但不能说every of these dictionaries,该用every one of these dictionaries.
2.each可指两个或两个以上中间的每一个,而every只可指三个或三个以上中间的每一个,不能指两个中每一个.如：可以说each of my eyes,不可说every one of my eye但可说every one of my toes(脚趾) .
3.each通常用来指若干固定数目中的每一个,而every往往指“任何一个”如：Each girl sitting over there is my student.“坐在那里的每一女孩子”指若干固定数目中的每一个,故用each.Every man must do his best.“人人都尽最大的努力”泛指任何一个人,因而用every.
4.every和not连用,即“every…not”或“not…every”构成部分否定,表示“并非每一个”的意思,each则无此结构.
5.every+ 基数词+ 复数名词=every+ 序数词+ 单数名词,作“每(多少)”解,但each不能用于这一结构中.如：every three days 每三天或每隔两天,相当于 every third day.
6.every two days,every second day都作“每隔一天”解,但在实际应用中人们都用every other day来表示这一意思,every two days也有人讲,而every second day则少用的.
7.也可以说every few days,相当于汉语的“隔些日子”.
8.each 可以与other构成固定的搭配,即each other意思为“彼此、相互、互相”的意思,而every则不能.
break 名词：暂停 have a break,暂停一下
动词：打破.he breaks the record.他打破了记录.
silence:沉默,名词.do you know the movie Silence of the Lamb.你知道沉默的羔羊这部电影吗?
liars：说谎的人,名词.most politicians are liars.多数政客是说谎的人.

动词：提起.This box is too heavy for me to lift.这个箱子太重了,我提不起来.
