【问】
I think I’d like to stay at home this evening ____ go out.
A. rather than B. other than
答案：rather than
rather than和other than有什么区别？
【答】
rather than意为“而不是”，逻辑上相当于instead of，本句意为：我觉得我今晚更想呆在家里，而不是出去玩儿。
other than意为“除了”，逻辑上相当于except或besides，如：
1. The truth was known to no one other than herself. 除了她本人，别人都不知道真相。（相当于except）
2. Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. 除了邮件，邮箱有时也用来装别的东西。（相当于besides；2012年高考浙江卷阅读理解D篇）
