a rather beautiful woman 和rather a beautiful woman都可以表示一个漂亮的女人

这里rather 都表示 quite,to some extent 很,一定程度的意思

用法:

一、 用作程度副词,意为"稍微;有点;颇;相当"

1. rather可以修饰形容词、副词的原级、比较级等;可以与介词短语连用.如:

She was rather hurt by his unkind words.

She's rather better today.

She looks rather like her father.

These materials are rather too difficult for the seniors.

2. rather放在不定冠词a（n）前后均可.如:

Miss Smart has got a rather（=rather a） good voice.

二、 用作副词,意为"宁可,宁愿"

1. rather than意为"而不是;与其……不如", 后接名词、代词、形容词、动词原形等.如:

These shoes are comfortable rather than pretty.

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

It is he rather than I who is to blame.

2. would rather do...than do...=would do...rather than do...宁愿做……而不愿做…….如:

3. prefer to do...rather than do... 宁愿做……而不愿做…….如:

三、 用作感叹词,意为"当然"

- Would you like a swim？

- Rather.

四、 习惯用语及搭配

1. or rather更确切， 更恰当； 更接近.如:

He went home very late last night， or rather， in the early hours this morning.

2. would rather意为"宁愿", 后接动词原形,其否定形式是would rather not do.如:

Which would you rather have， tea or coffee？

American young people would rather get advice from strangers.

3. I would rather that...这是虚拟语气形式,若从句表示与现在或将来的情况相反,用一般过去时;与过去的事实相反,用过去完成时.如:

I would rather you came tomorrow.

I'd rather you hadn't told her the news yesterday.
