Things here in Sendai have been rather surreal. But I am very blessed to
have wonderful friends who are helping me a lot.
这里的rather到底是什么意思?

我知道字面意思是“很,真得,相当。。。”, 但感情色彩是什么?是不是negative
的用rather当副词比较好?

【在 r*z 的大作中提到】
: Things here in Sendai have been rather surreal. But I am very blessed to
: have wonderful friends who are helping me a lot.
: 这里的rather到底是什么意思?

Here "rather" is the same as "quite", "somewhat".

知道啊,我想搞清楚RATHER是不是和表示negative(不好的)一起用。。。
或者这样说,你会证明评价什么东西it's rather fantastic吗?

maybe if you think of this way:
when something has surpassed your expectations you could use "rather".
so you could say something is "rather interesting", if originally you
thought it wouldn't be as much.

"rather" has several meanings. You've seemed to have mixed up two of them.
from 梁實秋:
rather, adverb
1 寧可,寧願 "He would rather stay at home."
2 更合理,更恰當 "This is rather for your father to decide than for you."
3 更正確地說,更確實 "It was late Monday night or, rather, early Tuesday
morning."
4 頗,有幾分 "She felt rather tired."
5 反之,相反地 "The sick man is no better today; rather he is worse."
"had rather..." = "prefer to..." = 寧願。。。= 還是。。。的好
"I had rather dance than eat."
"would rather..." = "had rather", but more formal usage
rather, interjection
當然,一定,怎麼不
"Is it worth going to? Rather!"

那我的例句里,应该是第4个解释。
我同意版主的说法,when it means "somewhat","quite"的时候,是带有负面的,或者
和原来想象不同的感情色彩的。
I expected to become more free, but instead I feel rather tied...
这里的instead,更好的烘托了这种“和预想不同的”的感情。。。

更準確地說,應該是帶有反面的,但並不一定是負面的。
I though I was going to be down with the flu
for a few days, but now my fever is gone and
I feel rather good.
The weather forecast said it would rain today,
but the sky has been rather clear all day.
