作為習語用作介詞時,as well as的涵義是“還有”、“不但…而且…”。值得注意的是,在A as well as B的結構裡,語意的重點在 A,不在 B。因此,“He can speak Spanish as well as English.”的譯文應該是:“他不但會說英語,而且會講西班牙語”,決不能譯作:“他不但會說西班牙語,而且會講英語”。如果這樣翻譯,就是本末倒置了。as well as和 not only… but also…同義,但前者的語意重點和後者的語意重點恰好顛倒。
如果 as well as用作連詞引出比較從句,其義為“和…一樣好”。因此,“He speaks Spanish as well as English.”應譯作:“他說西班牙語像說英語一樣好”。語意的重點依舊在前部,不在後半部。
請注意 as well as以下的用法:
She called on you as well as I.
不但我來看你,她也拜訪了你。
She called on you as well as me.
她不但拜訪了我,也拜訪了你。
在下列句中,as well as表示“像…一樣”的涵義:
She as well as you is an English teacher.
她像你一樣也是英文教師。
這裡的謂語動詞用is,不用are,因為句中的主語是she,不是she和you。
As well是副詞短語,其義為“也”,相當於too,它一般放在句末,有時和連詞and或but搭配使用。例:
He is a worker,and a poet as well.
他是工人,但也是詩人。
China possesses enormous quantities of coal and is rich in other minerals as well.
中國擁有大量煤炭,其他的礦藏也很豐富。
Mr.Liu can speak English,but he can speak Cantonese as well.
劉先生會說英語,但他也能講廣東話。
as well as 可連線並列的單詞或短語
如果as well as 前面是動詞不定式,那麼其後的動詞也是不定式,但to要省略應保持一致。
由as well as 連線的複合主語並不影響謂語動詞的數
as well as 連線的人稱代詞既可以是主格也可以是賓格,但句意不同。
as well as 用於肯定結構和否定結構中,其意義不同
強調連續性和反覆性,and連線相同的兩個詞,可以是動詞、名詞、形容詞或副詞
祈使句+and+簡單句”結構,表示條件關係,祈使句相當於if引導的條件從句。
在口語中,and可用在come, go run, hurry up, stay, stop等動詞後代替表示目的的動詞不定式,這些詞也可以接帶to的不定式
and位於句首時常用來承上啟下,有“那麼;於是;因此”之意
and用來連線數詞(=plus)時,表示“加”。
and all that = and so on = and so forth = and what not,意為“諸如此類;等等”。

and yet表示“但是;然而”。
as well as連線兩個動詞時,有三種情況:
1)前後兩個動詞的時態要一致。即:若第一個動詞是一般現在時,第二個動詞也應是一般現在時;若第一個動詞是一般過去時,第二個動詞也應是一般過去時。例如:
He publishes(published)as well as prints(printed)his own books.他的書是自己印刷並出版的。
2)如果第一個動詞是複合時態,或由can,may, must等加動詞構成時,as well as後面可省去助動詞或情態動詞,此時,as well as意為“既……又……”。例如:
We are repairing the roof as well as painting the walls.我們在粉刷牆壁,同時也在修理屋頂。
She can /could sing as well as dance.她既會跳舞也會唱歌。
3)如果第一個動詞是不定式,as well as後面的動詞也要用不定式,但要去掉to。例如:
You can"t expect her to do the housework as well as look after the children.你不可能叫她既照管孩子又做家務。
5.注意as well as的另外兩層涵義:
1)as well as還有“除……之外”之意。例如:
As well as knowing some Russian,she speaks English very well.除了懂得一點俄語之外,她的英語講得很好。
2)as well as還可視為as...as結構,用於副詞的同等比較。可解作“和……一樣好”。例如:
He can speak English as well as you can.
