as well as与and有什么区别?

如题所述

当as well as连接并列主语时(多数可理解为插入语,有无逗号均可),句中谓语动词的数应该和真正的主语,也就是as well as前面的主语,保持一致,即就远原则。例:

Halen, as well as his brothers, has gone abroad.

海伦和他的兄弟们都出国了。

Your wife as well as you is friendly to me.

你妻子和你对我都很友好。

就远原则:”名词 + 介词/介词词组 + 名词 ”结构作主语时,谓语动词的单复数要与介词/介词短语前的名词(即离谓语动词比较远的那个主语)单复数保持一致。

经常出现的此类介词/介词词组:but, except, besides, like, with, as well as, no less than, along with, in addition to, rather than, together with。

as well as 的用法

As well as has a similar meaning to“not only”.(牛津用法词典)

在传统用法中,as well as并不等同于and。我们知道,在not only A but also B的结构中,语义上侧重B,而在A as well as B结构中,语义上侧重A,所以,一般翻译成“不仅B,而且A;既B,又/也A”。

例:In greenhouses,computers control the watering of the plants as well as the light and the temperature.在温室里,计算机既控制光照和温度,也控制作物的灌溉。

She is clever as well as beautiful.她不仅漂亮,而且聪明。(她既聪明又漂亮。)
