請問 rather than

Rather than allow the vegetables to go bad, he sold them at half price.

請問主要子句是 sold，為何前面可以是原形的 allow 呢？謝謝！

更新1:

如果是因為省略了 to 的話，但主要子句並沒有 to V？前面依然可以省略 to 嗎？

謝謝羅莉大師的回答，因為這是奇摩字典 rather than 的例句，所以我很好奇會是錯誤的嗎… 感謝您釐清我的疑問！另外可否麻煩您也看一下我的另一個英文相關問題，謝謝！【too / either？】 https://tw.knowledge.yahoo.com/question/question?qid=1015052200186&mode=w&from=question&recommend=0&.crumb=GCIVrUWvqTj

✔ 最佳答案

你的理解是正確的，本句並無省略to的情況。
rather than是對等比較，前後的動作形式與時態應保持ㄧ致。

正確寫法：
Rather than allowed the vegetables to go bad, he sold them at half price.

另例：
Rather than went home for Christmas with her family, Tracy stayed at her office to work overtime.
崔西不是回家跟家人過聖誕節，而是留在辦公室加班。

(1)The situation allowed no delay.

The past participle:-

The present tense allowed:-
