“代替”英語短語的三種表達(dá)法區(qū)別

?　　①instead of是介詞短語，意思是“代替”，“而不是”，作介詞短語后接名詞、動(dòng)名詞和賓格代詞；作連詞短語后接不定式(一般不省略to)，謂語動(dòng)詞、形容詞、副詞和介詞短語等。如：John will attend the meeting instead of his manager.約翰將代替經(jīng)理出席這次會(huì)議。You should have some exercise instead of staying indoors all day long.你應(yīng)多鍛煉身體，不要整天呆在家里。The temperature has risen up instead of fallen down.溫度上升了而并沒有下降。This is dull instead of interesting.這不但沒趣，反倒枯燥。

②in place of介詞短語“代替”，通常后接名(代)詞，可與instead of互換。如：People often use plastics in place of/instead of wood or metal.人們常用塑料來代替木材和金屬。但instead of sb./sth.可略去介詞of及其賓語，而in place of通常不能將其省略。

③take the place of動(dòng)詞詞組，“代替”(職務(wù)，工作等)，如：Most scientists agree that computers can't completely take the place of humans.大多數(shù)科學(xué)家認(rèn)為，計(jì)算機(jī)并不能完全代替人。作“代替”解時(shí)，不可將the去掉或改換為one's，那樣會(huì)引起歧義，要注意區(qū)分。
