•USAGE and CHOICE OF WORDS:(1.) Наречие rather относится к группе наречий степени, таких, как fairly, quite, very, обозначающих смягчение или уменьшение степени качества. Все наречия этой группы употребляются, как правило, с градуальными прилагательными и наречиями: rather/fairly/quite warm (well, easy, etc). В отличие от вышеупомянутых наречий, только rather может употребляться с прилагательными в сравнительной степени: rather older, rather hotter. Rather может относиться к глаголам и к именам существительным; в последнем случае оно может стоять как перед артиклем, так и после него: It is a rather good idea/It is rather a good idea. Довольно неплохая мысль. That's rather the impression I wanted to give. Это, пожалуй, как раз то впечатление, которое я и хотел создать. (2.) Rather указывает на высокую степень качества; very - на несколько низшую степень, но большую, чем quite. Наречие rather подразумевает больше, чем обычно; больше, чем ожидалось или нужно: The film is rather good - означает, что фильм лучше многих других фильмов; It is rather difficult - означает, что это более трудно, чем я ожидал, трудновато, довольно трудно; I rather think so - означает, что я почти уверен, что это так. (3.) Rather или оборот or rather употребляются для уточнения того, что было сказано: Late at night, or rather, early in the morning. Поздно ночью или скорее рано утром. It is rather a question of money. Это скорее вопрос денег. (4.) Наречие rather 2. образует модальные обороты would rather ('d rather) и rather than. Would rather с последующим инфинитивом без частицы to обозначает предпочтение: Would you rather stay or go to the hotel? - I'd rather stay. Что бы вы предпочли - остаться или переехать в отель? - Я бы лучше остался. Оборот would rather с последующим дополнительным придаточным обозначает нереальное желание, причем глагол придаточного предложения стоит в форме Subjunctive: I'd rather you went home. Я бы предпочел, чтобы ты пошел домой. Rather than обычно употребляется, когда есть сопоставление двух прилагательных или наречий, двух существительных, двух инфинитивов или двух герундиальных форм: I'd rather call it brown than black. Я бы скорее назвал это коричневым, а не черным. I'd rather prefer starting early than leaving everything to the last moment. Я бы предпочел начать раньше, а не оставлять все на последнюю минуту. I decided to write rather than phone. Я решил лучше написать, а не звонить. (5.) See fairly, adv -

Само понятие степени может быть представлено в виде некоторой шкалы, на которой каждое наречие занимает свое место, т. е. английские эквивалениы соотносятся между собой по степени интенсивности качества.1. pretty — довольно, почти, довольно-таки, вполне, весьма (в отличие от quite, fairly и rather, которые передают лишь семантику степени, pretty несет в себе еще и оценочный элемент значения, а также смягчает резкость и категоричность утверждения): It's a pretty mess! — Хорошенькая история!/Ничего себе беспорядочек!

His statement explains the situation fairly well. — Его заявление достаточно проясняет ситуацию. She fairly screamed at me. — Она почти орала на меня./Она почти визжала на меня.3. very — довольно, очень, весьма, отнюдь нет, значительно, гораздо: a very trying time — очень тяжелое время; very much — очень; not very good — неважный; not very'well — неважно; not very rich — небогатый; not so very small — не такой уж маленький/довольно большой Did you like the play? — Very much. — Вам понравилась пьеса? — Очень, I was very pleased. — Я был очень рад.
