refuse an invitation
rather than
连词。更，较多，而不是。
注意: rather than是连词,前后两端所接的词在词性上应该一致，但前端为谓语动词或动词不定式时， 后端接动词原形。此外本词组连接两个主语时，谓语动词和第一个主语一致。
e.g. He resigned rather than take part in such a dishonest transaction.
他宁愿辞职也不参加这场虚伪的交易。
I，rather than you should do this work.
是我而不是你应该做这个工作。

固定搭配短语，意思为：换句话说, 也就是说。

贾格尔抓起一个半加仑水罐沿舞台前沿边跑边把里面的水往前几排闷热难耐的听众身上洒。
在这个句子中‘contents’是指 the contents of the jug,即water;
“sweltering listeners”是指由于太热而大汗淋漓的听众。
Then came The Band, mixing the more traditional ideas of the country and western music into the more radical “city” ideas of the hard rock.(9)
以后又出现了乐队，把乡村音乐和西部音乐所表达的观念与硬石派较为激进的城市观念结合在一起。
这是一个倒装句, 主语是The Band, 谓语是came, “mixing...”是伴随状语，表示谓语动词的伴随动作。当一个句子没有宾语，而且主语较长时，可将谓语提前。该句的非倒装语序为：
Then The Band came, mixing...the hard rock.
