写作一部分是科学,一部分是艺术。 解忧英语作文馆解陪你一起进化 Hi,大家好! 这是“解忧英语作文馆”的第36篇推文。 As well as 是最常见于各类文章的连词之一,也是最容易用错的连词之一。使用过程中,通常会有如下两种错误。 两种错误 第一种错误与它的意思有关——as well as通常被当作and的同义词,但实际上不能这样使用。例如: Swedish is spoken in Sweden, as well as in parts of Finland.[错] 第二种错误与as well as 连用时的动词形式有关。看看如下例句,你能找出它们错在哪里吗? John, as well as Mary, want to drop the course. [错] Running is healthy as well as it makes you feel good. [错] Sarah draws as well as designs clothes. [错] As well as≠And 首选,我们来说一说第一种错误。造成第一种错误的原因是直接把as well as 当作是and的同义词。其实,As well as意思上并不等于and。结构X as well as Y用英语来解释就是not only Y but also X(注意X和Y的顺序),强调的是X。由此可见,and连接的成分通常都是平行对等的,而as well as连接的成分,侧重前面部分,后面部分仅作为补充。 例句: John, as well as Mary, came to the party. [用英语解释就是not only Mary but also John,侧重点在 John] 翻译:前来参加宴会的不光有Mary,还有John. 例句: The programme aims to recruit Chinese students as well as students from other countries. [用英语解释的意思是not only students from other countries but also Chinese students,侧重点在 Chinese students] 翻译:该项目也招收其他国家的学生,不过主要招收的是中国学生。 那么,请回到开篇的第一个句子。 Swedish is spoken in Sweden, as well as in parts of Finland. (错) 这个句子错在哪里呢? 用英语解释的意思是Swedish is spoken not only in parts of Finland, but also in Sweden. 翻译过来就是,不仅芬兰部分地区讲瑞典语,而且瑞典也讲瑞典语。这样的句子写出来,是不是很搞笑,如果瑞典人看到,肯定会被气哭的,在瑞典不讲瑞典语,难道讲芬兰语吗?其实这里想强调不是在瑞典讲瑞典语,而是芬兰部分地区也讲瑞典语。 所以正确的写法应该是: Swedish is spoken in parts of Finland, as well as in Sweden. 如果没有理解as well as的用法,就会搞出这样的笑话。 另外,为了避免重复,直接用and代替as well as的做法,也是不可取的。 例如: The university focuses on education, research and development, as well as and dissemination. 如果education、research and development、dissemination这三个领域同等重要,上下文也没有特别强调的情况下,是没有必要为了避免重复而将and替换为as well as 。 也就是说,没有A, B, as well as C的结构。这里的A、B、C可以是单词也可以是词组,如上述例句中的research and development。 但可以有这样的结构A and B, as well as C。只是这个A and B, as well as C和A, B, and C的意思不尽相同。 使用过程中,只要我们将这样的规则铭记于心,就不会犯错: 务将as well as与and来互换; As well as连接的内容,前为强调,后为补充; And连接的内容对等又平行。 与as well as 连用时动词的形式 1. 当as well as与主语连用时,谓语单复数形式与前一个保持一致。 例如: John, as well as Mary, want to drop the course. [错] John, as well as Mary, wants to drop the course. [对] 换句话说,当as well as 是主语的一部分时,动词的形式必须与as well as前的部分保持一致。 2. As well as后接动词时,用-ing形式 当as well as 后接动词时,应用动词的-ing形式。 例如: Running is healthy as well as making you feel good. He broke the window, as well as destroying the wall. She draws as well as designing clothes. 注意:试着区分一下如下两个句子的差别。 She draws as well as designing clothes. 她不仅会设计衣服,还会画画。 She draws as well as she designs clothes. 她画的画和她设计的衣服一样好。 [用英语解释就是Her drawing is as good as her designing] 这里第一个as well as 是一个整体,一个词组;而第二个as well as,是平等比较结构,as…as,well 做副词,修饰的是动词draws。 如上就是今天的分享。 任何疑问,期待与小编的互动和交流哦。 |
