well之用法

ａｓｗｅｌｌａｓ，ａｓｗｅｌｌ，ｍｉｇｈｔａｓｗｅｌｌ之用法

1. as well as = not only/just...but(also)，但两者在意义上有不同之处:as well as 侧重前者，而not only/just...but(also)侧重后者，通常要理解为A as well as B = not only/just B but (also) A。如:

I’m learning French as well as English.

我不仅学习法语而且还学习英语。(侧重前者，即French)

等于:I’m learning not only English but also French. (侧重后者，也即French)

[注意]

在带有as well as的句子中，如果该部分在句子中作主语，谓语动词必须与as well as 前面的主语在人称和数上保持一致(英语中适合这一用法的词或词组还有with，together with，but，rather than等)。而not only/just...but(also)连接句子中的并列主语时，谓语动词的人和数则必须与but(also)后面的主语保持一致(英语中适合这一用法的词组还

有neither...nor，either...or，not...but等)。如:

The teacher as well as the students has gone to the cinema.

老师和学生都到电影院看电影去了。(as well as前面的主语the teacher是单数，故谓语动词用has)

The students as well as the teacher have gone to the cinema.(as well as前面的主语the students是复数，故谓语动词用have)

Not only the teacher but also the students have gone to the cinema.(but also 后面的主语是复数，故谓语动词用have)

Peter rather than his parents is going to the USA.

是彼特打算去美国，而不是他的父母亲(打算去美国)。(rather than前面的主语Peter 是单数，故谓语动词用is)

Either you or I am wrong.

要么是你要么是我错了(二者之中必居其一)。(or后面的主语是I，故谓语动词用am)

2. as well as所连接的并列成分有时候没有侧重的含义，这时它的含义相当于and，但与and在以下三个方面有所不同:

①as well as比and更强调“又”的含义。如:

The plan is practical as well as farsighted.

这方案切实可行，又具有远见性。

②and经常用于A，B and C这一结构，而as well as则不能，要表达这一结构可用:A，

B and C或A and B as well as C，而用A，B as well as C则是错误的。如:

露西?莉莉和约翰明天将要动身去北京。可翻译为:

Lucy， Lily and John are leaving for Beijing tomorrow.

Lucy and Lily as well as John are leaving for Beijing tomorrow.

③由于as well as有时候含义相当于and，而and可与both连用，因此在现代英语里as well as也可以与both连用。如:

He likes both Chinese as well as math very much.

他非常喜欢语文和数学。

3. as well相当于too和also，但要注意与too，also，either的区别。

as well通常用于肯定句中，一般置于句尾，不能用逗号与其前面的词隔开;

too通常用于肯定句中，一般置于句尾，且通常用逗号与其前面的词隔开;

also通常用于肯定句中，一般置于句中;

either通常用于否定句或疑问句中，一般置于句尾。如:

He is a pianist， and he is a singer as well.

He is a pianist， and he is a singer， too.

He is a pianist， and he is also a singer.

He isn’t a pianist， and he isn’t a singer either.

4. might as well的意思为“还是……为好”，相当于may/just as well。要注意不能与as well as，as well混淆。如:

Today you might as well go to school， or your teacher will criticise you.

今天你还是去上学的好，要不然的话，你的老师会批评你的。
