as well as的用法

as…as意思,as well as的用法

文章插图
作为习语用作介词时,as well as的涵义是“还有”、“不但…而且…” 。值得注意的是,在A as well as B的结构里,语意的重点在 A,不在 B 。因此,“He can speak Spanish as well as English.”的译文应该是:“他不但会说英语,而且会讲西班牙语”,决不能译作:“他不但会说西班牙语,而且会讲英语” 。如果这样翻译,就是本末倒置了 。as well as和 not only… but also…同义,但前者的语意重点和后者的语意重点恰好颠倒 。
如果 as well as用作连词引出比较从句,其义为“和…一样好” 。因此,“He speaks Spanish as well as English.”应译作:“他说西班牙语像说英语一样好” 。语意的重点依旧在前部,不在后半部 。
请注意 as well as以下的用法:
She called on you as well as I.
不但我来看你,她也拜访了你 。
She called on you as well as me.
她不但拜访了我,也拜访了你 。
在下列句中,as well as表示“像…一样”的涵义:
She as well as you is an English teacher.
她像你一样也是英文教师 。
这里的谓语动词用is,不用are,因为句中的主语是she,不是she和you 。
As well是副词短语,其义为“也”,相当于too,它一般放在句末,有时和连词and或but搭配使用 。例:
He is a worker,and a poet as well.
他是工人,但也是诗人 。
China possesses enormous quantities of coal and is rich in other minerals as well.
中国拥有大量煤炭,其他的矿藏也很丰富 。
Mr.Liu can speak English,but he can speak Cantonese as well.
刘先生会说英语,但他也能讲广东话 。
as well as 可连接并列的单词或短语
如果as well as 前面是动词不定式,那么其后的动词也是不定式,但to要省略应保持一致 。
由as well as 连接的复合主语并不影响谓语动词的数
as well as 连接的人称代词既可以是主格也可以是宾格,但句意不同 。
as well as 用于肯定结构和否定结构中,其意义不同
强调连续性和反复性,and连接相同的两个词,可以是动词、名词、形容词或副词
祈使句+and+简单句”结构,表示条件关系,祈使句相当于if引导的条件从句 。
在口语中,and可用在come, go run, hurry up, stay, stop等动词后代替表示目的的动词不定式,这些词也可以接带to的不定式
and位于句首时常用来承上启下,有“那么;于是;因此”之意
and用来连接数词(=plus)时,表示“加” 。
and all that = and so on = and so forth = and what not,意为“诸如此类;等等” 。
and yet表示“但是;然而” 。
as well as连接两个动词时,有三种情况:
1)前后两个动词的时态要一致 。即:若第一个动词是一般现在时,第二个动词也应是一般现在时;若第一个动词是一般过去时,第二个动词也应是一般过去时 。例如:
He publishes(published)as well as prints(printed)his own books.他的书是自己印刷并出版的 。
2)如果第一个动词是复合时态,或由can,may, must等加动词构成时,as well as后面可省去助动词或情态动词,此时,as well as意为“既……又……” 。例如:
We are repairing the roof as well as painting the walls.我们在粉刷墙壁,同时也在修理屋顶 。
She can /could sing as well as dance.她既会跳舞也会唱歌 。
3)如果第一个动词是不定式,as well as后面的动词也要用不定式,但要去掉to 。例如:
You can't expect her to do the housework as well as look after the children.你不可能叫她既照管孩子又做家务 。
