as well as和as well的区别

文/李傲

用法不同。as well往往用在句尾,表示“还,也”的意思。as well as常用来连接两个并列的成分,作“也,还”,它强调的是前一项,后一项只是顺便提及,因此连接并列主语时,谓语动词与前一项一致。

as well as和as well的区别

as well as的用法

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。

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。

有时还可译为“除……之外,还”,与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。

当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 toLondon.汤姆和他的父母要去伦敦。

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后接动词用动名词的情况主要见于主句谓语为简单时态(即一般现在时和一般过去时)的时候。

如果主句谓语为复合时态(即其中含有情态动词或助动词),则as well as后的动词通常要与情态动词或助动词后的动词形式保持一致。如:

Students should pursue their own interests, as well as do their school work.学生不仅应该做要好家庭作业,而且还要有自己的兴趣。

如果as well as是连接两个不定式,则其后用不带to的不定式。如:

A museum should aim to entertain as well as educate.博物馆不仅要有教育性还且还要有娱乐性。

当as well as用于句首时,其后习惯上要接动名词。如:

As well as eating a seven-course meal, they drank three bottles of wine.除吃了一顿有七道菜的饭之外,他们还喝了三瓶酒。

as well as有时也被视为准并列连词,后接的动词可以与主句谓语动词形式一致(但这种情形远不如用后接动名词普遍)。如:

He publishes as well as prints his own books.他不但印刷而且还出版自己的书。
