用語as well 與as well as用法歸納as well與as well as只有一詞之差，但意義和用法卻相差甚遠。一、as well 用法：1、as well常用作狀語，作“又；也”解，相當于too或also，常位于句末，無須用逗號與句子分開。如：I am going to London and my sister is going as well（going，too）.我要到倫敦去，我妹妹也要去。 I not only play the guitar，I sing as well（I also sing ）. 我不但彈吉他，而且還演唱。2、as well 在口語中也可用于句中，作“也好，也行”或“倒不如”解，用來緩和語氣。如： You may as well go. 你去也好。 The weather was so bad that we might（just）as well have stayed at home. 天氣太壞了，早知道如此，倒不如呆在家里為好。3、as well 可以直接用于just后，用作應答語（可視為Its just as well、的省略），作“幸虧，幸而；無妨；沒關系”解。如： We were too late to see the film.我們去得太晚了，沒有看上電影。 Just as well、I hear it isnt very good. 不必遺憾，我聽說電影也不怎么樣。二. as well as 一、分清本義與引申義1.用于本義as well as用于本義，可視為asas結構與well的自然搭配，其意為“與一樣好”，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.他說英語說得跟她一樣好。She plays every bit as well as the men.她打得一點不比男人們差。He sings as well as, if not better than, Mary.要是他唱歌不比瑪麗唱得更好，但至少也是一樣好。2.用于引申義用于引申義，表示“不但而且”“既是也是”“而且”“還”。如：He grows flowers as well as vegetables.他既種菜也種花。She shares (in) my troubles as well as my joys.她與我同甘共苦。注：有時還可譯為“除之外，還”，與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，他除了學習游泳外，他還在上西班牙語課。二、弄清強調重點A as well as B這一結構強調的重點是A不是B，即A as well as B=not only B but also A，注意體會以下例句的譯文：She is clever as well as beautiful.她不但漂亮，而且聰明。He speaks Spanish as well as English and French.他不僅會說英語和法語，而且會說西班牙語。三、把握主謂一致當as well as連接兩個成分作主語時,其后的謂語通常要與前面一個主語保持一致。如：Tom as well as his parents is going toLondon.湯姆和他的父母要去倫敦。The captain, as well as the other players, was tired.隊長和其他隊員都累了。四、牢記后續動詞的形式as well as后接動詞到底是該用什么形式，這是一比較復雜的問題，歸納起來有以下幾點值得注意：1.as well as通常被視為介詞，所以后接動詞時，一般用動名詞形式。如：He sings as well as playing the piano.他不但會彈鋼琴，而且會唱歌。As well as breaking his leg, he hurt his arm.他不但摔斷了腿，而且還傷了胳膊。She is a talented musician as well as being a photographer.她不但是攝影師還是個天才的音樂家。注：as well as后接動詞用動名詞的情況主要見于主句謂語為簡單時態(即一般現在時和一般過去時)的時候。2.如果主句謂語為復合時態(即其中含有情態動詞或助動詞)，則as well as后的動詞通常要與情態動詞或助動詞后的動詞形式保持一致。如：Students should pursue their own interests, as well as do their school work.學生不僅應該做要好家庭作業，而且還要有自己的興趣。I have to feed the animals as well as look after the children.我不但要照顧孩子們，而且還要喂動物3.如果as well as是連接兩個不定式，則其后用不帶to的不定式。如：A museum should aim to entertain as well as educate.博物館不僅要有教育性還且還要有娛樂性。We cannot expect her to do the homework as well as look after the children.我們不能指望她既做作業又照看孩子。4.當as well as用于句首時，其后習慣上要接動名詞。如：As well as eating a seven-course meal, they drank three bottles of wine.除吃了一頓有七道菜的飯之外，他們還喝了三瓶酒。As well as walking, he likes fishing and shooting.他除散步之外還喜歡釣魚和打獵。As well as visitingNiagara Falls, we spent a day inToronto.我們參觀了Niagara瀑
