自己关于Instead of与instead 的一点小总结,供大家参考

先看下面这两句话,表达的意思重心都是小毛更喜欢青菜。
小毛爱吃菜而不是(Instead of)肉。
小毛不爱吃肉;相反(Instead),他爱吃菜。
在GMAT中前一句要用Instead of后一句要用Instead。

即:一个句子使用Instead强调要做的是后面内容,使用Instead of强调要做的的是前面的内容(instead of的内容是实际上不会发生、不会做的,表达的是一种否定语气)。

简单说:Instead表达“而是要”,Instead of表达“而不是”

下面是具体例子:
Instead of
(是…)而不是…
强调内容在Instead of前,Instead of的内容不是句子重心真正要做的,而是比照相对句子重心内容的附带对比内容。


例句:
Shall we have fish instead of meat today? 今天我们不吃肉吃鱼好吗?

Give me this instead of that. 给我这个, 不要那个。

Taking exercise every day makes him look younger instead of older. 每天锻炼身体使他看起来年轻而不显老。

We went to the Biology class instead of attending the English lesson. 我们去上生物课而不去上英语课。

He has been playing all afternoon instead of getting on with his work. 他整个下午一直在玩, 没有继续工作。

''This 'restoration' has been done in a very unprofessional way,'' Schweizer said in an e-mail message sent to the AP. ''Too many stones had been changed, instead of restoring.


Most of Portugal’s 250,000 university students boycotted classes in a one-day strike to protest a law that requires them to contribute $330 a year toward the cost of higher education, instead of the $7 per year required previously.


Research during the past several decades on the nature of language and the processes that produce and make it understandable has revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity. (D-p72-8)


Instead
反而,却
强调在Instead后,Instead的内容是句子重心真正要做的,这部分正式句子强调的重心。


例句:
Mike doesn't study at all. Instead, he sits idle all day. 迈克根本不肯读书, 相反地, 他终日游手好闲。


According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a "soft landing," followed by a gradual increase in business activity.

Evolutionary psychology holds that the human mind is not a "blank slate" but instead comprises specialized mental mechanisms that were developed to solve specific problems human ancestors faced millions of years ago.
