a) both 修饰复数名词；而 either 修饰单数名词； 如：

= There are a lot of trees on either side of the road. 在路的两边有许多树。
b) rather than 表“（是）……而不是”;连词, 连接对等结构, 相当于instead of如: I like coffee rather than tea. = I like coffee instead of tea.

但rather than位于句首时, 后跟动词原形,它不受句中谓语动词的时态影响。如：

3. Everyone is supposed to do it. 每个人都应该那样做。
be supposed to do sth.指（按规定、习惯、安排等）应当做某事；必须做某事；相当于should; 用于否定句时，表“允许”； 如：

ought to 情态动词, 表 “应该; 应当”; 语气比 should 强;指道义上应该做的事,有时含有责备或督促的语气。should 指主观上感到有责任或义务去做。如：
You ought to help your mother do some housework.你应该帮你妈妈做些家务。
We should study hard.我们应该努力学习。
