句中not…but…意为“不是……而是……”，but表示转折;类似表达not only…but also…意为“不但……而且……”，表示递进。

如：She is no a doctor but an actress(他不是医生而是演员)，not后接被否定的内容，but后面接被认可的事实。

3、...rather than..用法

连接两个名词或代词 ：He is an explorer rather than a sailor.与其说他是一个海员,不如说他是一个探险者。注意：rather than 连接两个名词或代词作主语时,谓语动词应与rather than 前面的名词或代词在人称和数上保持一致。

连接两个形容词 ：The sweater she bought was beautiful rather than cheap.与其说她买的这件羊毛衫便宜不如说它漂亮。

连接两个介词(短语)或动名词 。We will have the meeting in the classroom rather than in the great hall.我们是在教室里开会,不是在大厅里。

not only.....but also.....

但和而是英文不一样。not but表示“不是而是”，常见的搭配有：It's not...but/however.../While...but/...despite of that...。例如：It is not quantity but quality that counts.重要的不是数量而是质量。

以下三个短语都可以：1）not...but...如：Not you but I am right.2) ...instead of...如：I went out instead of staying at home last night.3) ...rather than...如：I am a teacher rather than a student.

不是一样的 但是but，而是or 两个不同的英文单词
