请问此句中，rather做何解呢？为何会这样用？
Next week, Monday,
I'd send you all those materials and rather deliver them
to you personally.
谢谢

2014-07-02 21:47:00这里的rather 有 instead的意味
用and 当连结词的话 我想这里是指 甚至 的意思

2014-07-02 22:33:00and (I'd/I would) rather deliver them to youpersonally (than deliver by courier/UPS/mail/...)personally (than deliver them by courier/UPS/mail/...)和寻常方式比较起来，亲自送 能表达诚意/歉意（也可以当面道歉）(毕竟重点不是在送抵方式上，所以不需要刻意把后头略掉的(能意会的)部份讲清楚---假设另外还有“更有诚意/更能表达歉意”的（一般）递送方式，那句会是另外的写法(我只是打个比方，不要又在"递送方式的字面叙述"上钻)

2014-07-03 08:41:00Actually, the original sentence is faulty. It's not real English.I think it should be something like, "I'll send you thematerials rather than bringing them to you personally."

2014-07-03 21:32:00按照楼上的逻辑，rather 有 instead的意味，对吧？
send跟deliver...personally 它们是不是冲突?(B大想的是这个吗?)

2014-07-04 13:09:00语意怪，到底邮寄还面交？英文应是rather "than" deliver!
