惯用语as well as用法归纳
一、分清本义与引申义
1. 用于本义
as well as 用于本义,可视为as…as结构与well的自然搭配,其意为“与……一样好”,在否定句中可用not so well as代替 not as well as。如:
He speaks English as well as her. 他说英语说得跟她一样好。
She plays every bit as well as the men. 她打得一点不比男人们差。
He doesn’t play half as well as his sister. 他演奏的水平不及他的一半。
He sings as well as, if not better than, Mary. 要是他唱歌不比玛丽唱得更好,但至少也是一样好。
2. 用于引申义
用于引申义,表示“不但……而且”“既是……也是”“而且”“还”。如:
He grows flowers as well as vegetables. 他既种菜也种花。
She shares (in) my troubles as well as my joys. 她与我同甘共苦。
They have a flat in town as well as a place in the country. 他们在城里有一套公寓,在乡村还有一所房子。
注:有时还可译为“除……之外,还”,与介词:besides, in addition to的用法相似。如:
As well as learning to swim he has been taking Spanish lessons this summer. 今年夏天,他除了学习游泳外,他还在上西班牙语课。
二、弄清强调重点
A as well as B这一结构强调的重点是A不是B,即 A as well as B=not only B but also A,注意体会以下例句的译文:
She is clever as well as beautiful. 她不但漂亮,而且聪明。
He speaks Spanish as well as English and French. 他不仅会说英语和法语,而且会说西班牙语。
Actors have to learn their cues as well as their own lines. 演员不仅要记住台词,还要记住其他演员的暗示。
三、把握主谓一致
as well as 连接两个成分作主语时, 其后的谓语通常要与前面一个主语保持一致。如:
Tom as well as his parents is going to London. 汤姆和他的父母要去伦敦。
The captain, as well as the other players, was tired. 队长和其他队员都累了。talented的用法和短语
但是,有时即使 as well as 前面一个成分为单数,其后的谓语也可能用复数,尤其是当as well as 后面一个成分比较长且该结构没有用逗号隔开时。如:
His appearance as well as his strange way of talking make me suspicious. 他的外表以及他那奇怪的谈吐引起我的怀疑。
四、牢记后续动词的形式
as well as 后接动词到底是该用什么形式,这是一比较复杂的问题,归纳起来有以下几点值得注意:
1. as well as 通常被视为介词,所以后接动词时,一般用动名词形式。如:
He sings as well as playing the piano. 他不但会弹钢琴,而且会唱歌。
As well as breaking his leg, he hurt his arm. 他不但摔断了腿,而且还伤了胳膊。
