as good as與as well as的用法區(qū)別
1. 用于本義,兩者意為“與……一樣好”,但 good 是形容詞,而 well 是副詞。如:
他說(shuō)英語(yǔ)說(shuō)得跟她一樣好。
正:He speaks English as well as her.
正:His English is as good as hers.
2. 用于引申義,兩者的意思很不相同:
(1) as good as 意為“幾乎”“差不多”(=almost)。如:
He as good as said I’m a liar. 他無(wú)異于說(shuō)我撒謊。
We’re as good as ruined. 我們差不多完蛋了。
習(xí)語(yǔ)be as good as one’s word意思是“說(shuō)話算數(shù)”。如:
You’ll find that she’s as good as her word. 你能了解到她這個(gè)人很講信用。
(2) as well as 表示“而且”。如:
She’s 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(huì)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)和法語(yǔ),而且會(huì)說(shuō)西班牙語(yǔ)。
該結(jié)構(gòu)強(qiáng)調(diào)的重點(diǎn)是在前面一個(gè)詞(體會(huì)以上例句的譯文)。如:
A as well as B=not only B but also A
該結(jié)構(gòu)連接兩個(gè)成分作主語(yǔ)時(shí),其后謂語(yǔ)通常與前面一個(gè)主語(yǔ)保持一致。如:
Mary as well as her friends is going to Paris. 瑪麗和她的朋友要去巴黎。
與動(dòng)詞連用,動(dòng)詞通常要用動(dòng)名詞。如:
As well as breaking his leg, he hurt his arm. 他不但摔斷了腿,而且還傷了胳膊。
He sings as well as playing the piano. 他不但會(huì)彈鋼琴,而且會(huì)唱歌。
有時(shí)也可與主句動(dòng)詞的形式一致或用動(dòng)詞原形(但均不如用動(dòng)名詞常見(jiàn))。如:
As well as eating [ate, eat] a seven-course meal, they drank three bottles of wine. 除吃了一頓有7道菜的飯之外,他們還喝了3瓶酒。
