七、词义辨析

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。
