rather than 就是“而不是”的意思,这个相信你懂得……
至于这个用法,rather than后面其实加的是宾语
第一句因为decide 后面有to 啊,所以rather than 的前后连接的时候动词不定式 to 后面的do的部分,所以出于用动词原型,相当于He decided to go out rather than to stay at home.所以其实是动词不定式作宾语
至于第二个句子,因为rather than后面的部分想表达一个相当于一句话的东西”我自己做“,而我刚才说了rather than后面加宾语,所以后面部分怎么办呢,只能用动词不定式或者动词的现在进行时形式或者加一个宾语从句,所以用doing 或者to do,或者你也可以这样说 I asked Jane for help rather than (that) I did it on my own. 这样就是一个宾语从句,that 可以省略
不知道我说明白了没有,不懂欢迎追问~~有帮助请采纳~~

rather....than.....和rather than实际上是一样的,
同would 连用时,可分开写,也可合写.
would rather do A than do B
=would do A rather than do B 宁愿...而不愿...
She would rather stay at home than go out .
=She would stay at home rather than go out .
但同连用时,只能合写成: prefer to do A rather than do B 宁愿...而不愿...
He preferred to die rather than surrender to the enemy.
他宁死也不愿向敌人投降.
单独使用时,rather than而不是
