as good as與as well as的用法區別
1. 用於本義,兩者意爲“與……一樣好”,但 good 是形容詞,而 well 是副詞。如:
他說英語說得跟她一樣好。
正:He speaks English as well as her.
正:His English is as good as hers.
2. 用於引申義,兩者的意思很不相同:
(1) as good as 意爲“幾乎”“差不多”(=almost)。如:
He as good as said I’m a liar. 他無異於說我撒謊。
We’re as good as ruined. 我們差不多完蛋了。
習語be as good as one’s word意思是“說話算數”。如:
You’ll find that she’s as good as her word. 你能了解到她這個人很講信用。
(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. 他不僅會說英語和法語,而且會說西班牙語。
該結搆強調的重點是在前麪一個詞(躰會以上例句的譯文)。如:
A as well as B=not only B but also A
該結搆連接兩個成分作主語時,其後謂語通常與前麪一個主語保持一致。如:
Mary as well as her friends is going to Paris. 瑪麗和她的朋友要去巴黎。
與動詞連用,動詞通常要用動名詞。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. 他不但會彈鋼琴,而且會唱歌。
有時也可與主句動詞的形式一致或用動詞原形(但均不如用動名詞常見)。如:
As well as eating [ate, eat] a seven-course meal, they drank three bottles of wine. 除喫了一頓有7道菜的飯之外,他們還喝了3瓶酒。
