两句的连接方法
2-3:as well as与rather than
下列连词短语也视为并列连词，可连接并列的单词、短语或句子。
as well as...以及……
rather than...而非……
1.单词
例：you as well as john like it.
（你和约翰都喜欢它。）
he is happy rather than sad.
（他很快乐，而不伤心。）
2.短语
例：he is interested in music rather than in painting.
（他对音乐有兴趣，并非对绘画有兴趣。）
he came here to learn english as well as to know more about life.
（他来此学英语及了解更多有关生活的事情。）
3.从句
例：he failed because he was lazy rather than because he was not intelligent.
（他失败是因为懒，并非是因为他不聪明。）
i love her because she is intelligent as well as because she is considerate.
（我爱她因为她聪明，也因为她体贴。）
注意
as well as或rather than连接主语时，该句动词始终要随第一个主语做变化。
例：he as well as i is interested in music.
=he no less than i is interested in music.
=he together with me is interested in music.
=he along with me is interested in music.
（他和我都对音乐有兴趣。）
注意
由于as well as与no less than为并列连词，故之后接主格形式i，以与he并列。而together with或along with则为介词，故之后接宾语形式me,以作为with的宾语。
he rather than i is interested in music.
=he instead of me is interested in music.
=he not i,is interested in music.
（他对音乐有兴趣，而我则不。）
注意
由于rather than为并列连词，故之后接主格形式i,以与he并列。而instead of则为介词，故之后接宾格形式me,以作为of的宾语。not也可以视为并列连词，等于rather than,惟使用时，not前应加逗点。
例：i like this book,not that one.
=i like this book rather than that one.
（我喜欢这本书，而不喜欢那本。）
