adv.(副词)

instead是副词,只能单独使用。基本意思是“代替”,可依据上下文灵活翻译,有时甚至干脆不译。

instead可位于句首,连接上下句。通常是上句先否定一种情况,再以instead引出下句,提出相反的情况。

instead也可位于句末,可用于两个独立的句子,也可用于并列句的后一句中,还可用于带有状语从句的主句中,这时常译为“反之”,“相反”。

instead of是短语介词,其后可接名词、代词、动名词,有时也可接形容词、动词不定式、介词短语等。instead of前后两部分的意思一般是一正一反,可灵活译为“(用…)代替…”“(是…)而不是…”“并非”“反而”等。

instead一般与of连用作为介词词组，后面可接名词和代词意外的词，如形容词，副词，动词和介词。

Things are now better instead of worse.
He laughed with instead of at us.

注意instead of和without的区别，两者不要混用。一般情况下，用人，事，行为去代替另外的人，事，或行为时，用instead of。表示人，事，行为不和其他的一起时，用without。

我要喝茶而不是咖啡，谢谢。

instead 可以是形容词，一般放于句首或句尾。
