as well as与as well:用法上的区别你真的清楚吗?
很多人在使用英语时,常常会把as well和as well as混为一谈,觉得它们都是“也”的意思,随便用就行。但实际上,这两个短语的用法差异很大,稍不意就会出错。先看as well。它是一个副词短语,意思是“也、还”,通常放在句子的末尾,不能出现在句子。比如:“I ate breakfast this morning, and I drank a cup of milk as well.” 这里as well替代了“too”,表示“也喝了牛奶”。再比如:“She finished her report on time, and she submitted it to the boss as well.” 这句话里,as well放在句末,“也提交给了老板”。它的用法和“also”有点像,但“also”更常用在句中,而as well只在句末出现。
接下来是as well as,它的用法更灵活,主要有两种情况。第一种是作为并列连词,连接两个相同的成分比如名词、动词、形容词,意思是“和、以及”,位置在句子。例如:“The restaurant serves Chinese food as well as Western food.” 这里连接的是“Chinese food”和“Western food”,说明餐厅既提供中餐也提供西餐。再比如:“He likes playing football as well as watching movies.” 它连接了“playing football”和“watching movies”,表示他既喜欢踢足球也喜欢看电影。第二种用法是表示“和……一样好”,属于比较结构。比如:“She speaks English as well as a native speaker.” 意思是她英语说得和母语者一样好。还有:“This book is written as well as that one.” 指这本书写得和那本一样好。
需要特别意的是,当as well as连接两个主语时,谓语动词要和前面的主语保持一致。比如:“My father as well as my mother is very kind to me.” 这里主语是“My father”,所以谓语用“is”,而不是“are”。再比如:“The teacher as well as the students is interested in the new project.” 主语是“The teacher”,谓语用“is”。
我们用两个句子对比一下就能更清楚:“He bought a pen as well.”他也买了一支笔——as well在句末,表“也”;“He bought a pen as well as a notebook.”他买了一支笔和一个笔记本——as well as在句中,连接两个名词,表“和”。再比如:“She can dance as well.”她也会跳舞vs “She can dance as well as her sister.”她跳舞和姐姐一样好——前者是“也”,后者是“和……一样好”。
由此可见,as well和as well as虽然只差一个as,但用法全不同。只要记住as well在句末表“也”,as well as在句中连接成分或表比较,就能避免用错了。
