问题: an English question

Some will run the risk of killing themselves and their families rather than admit they don't know how to mend the lamp that has gone wrong.中的rather than该如何理解,是连词,解释胜于,好像又不通,please give me a hand.

解答:

某些人宁可冒着他们和家人的生命危险,也不愿意承认他们不懂如何修理坏灯泡。

rather than就是“胜于”的意思。本句是说,冒生命危险,也比承认不会要强。就是那种死要面子活受罪的样子。
