工作学习 / English / 请教DX：今天上课时我用eat in 和eat out造了这样一个句子：I would rather eat in than eat out。老师说应该是：I would rather eat in than eating out。我说若是parallel structure，我的应是对的，老师的不对。老师说than是介词，他的是对的。后来回家我在字典上找到例句：Wouldn't you rather be liked than feared?请问DX，到底谁对？

more..."the normally conjunctive phrase 'rather than' is often used, and used correctly, as if it were a prepositional phrase such as 'instead of', andwhen it is so used, the rule that items joined by conjuctions should be as grammatically similar as possible must sometimes be abandoned."

你老师是对的。你是错的。因为好多人都象你这么说，好象有点将错就错的味。考试时一定要用than eating out。但我的美国同学会说than eat out。供参考！
