用法讲解

adv. (副词)
  1. instead是副词,只能单独使用。基本意思是“代替”,可依据上下文灵活翻译,有时甚至干脆不译。
  2. instead可位于句首,连接上下句。通常是上句先否定一种情况,再以instead引出下句,提出相反的情况。
  3. instead也可位于句末,可用于两个独立的句子,也可用于并列句的后一句中,还可用于带有状语从句的主句中,这时常译为“反之”,“相反”。
  4. instead of是短语介词,其后可接名词、代词、动名词,有时也可接形容词、动词不定式、介词短语等。instead of前后两部分的意思一般是一正一反,可灵活译为“(用…)代替…”“(是…)而不是…”“并非”“反而”等。
  1. instead一般与of连用作为介词词组，后面可接名词和代词意外的词，如形容词，副词，动词和介词。

    Things are now better instead of worse.
    He laughed with instead of at us.

  2. 注意instead of和without的区别，两者不要混用。一般情况下，用人，事，行为去代替另外的人，事，或行为时，用instead of。表示人，事，行为不和其他的一起时，用without。

    I'll have tea instead of coffee, please.
    我要喝茶而不是咖啡，谢谢。

    She often goes swimming without telling her mother.
    她经常没有告诉于她妈妈就去游泳了。

  3. instead 可以是形容词，一般放于句首或句尾。

    不要和玛丽结婚，和我结婚吧。

adv. (副词)
instead of, in place of
  • 这两个短语都有“代替”的意思。其区别在于:in place of表示某一人或事物代替另一人或事物,其后接被代替的对象,一般是名词或名词的同等成分; instead of的含义是“某一人或事物,而不是另一人或事物”,所以常有否定后面成分的意思。例如:
  • The Chinese use chopsticks in place of forks and knives中国人吃饭用筷子,而不用刀叉。
  • That increased instead of decreased our courage.那不但没有减弱我们的勇气,反而增强了我们的勇气。
    • instead, instead of
  • 两者的共同意思是“代替”,含有“用前者而不用后者”的意味。仅在于instead是副词, instead of是复合介词。
    • 用作副词 (adv.)
    instead of
      (用…)代替…,(是…)而不是…,(用…)而不用… in place of
