1. 用于本义as well as 用于本义, 可视为 as ? as 结构与 well 的自然搭配, 其意为“与??一样好” ,在否定句中可用 not so well as 代 替 not as well as。如:He speaks English as well as her. 他说英语说得跟她一样好。She plays every bit as well as the men. 她打得一点不比男人 们差。He doesn’t play half as well as his sister. 他演奏的水平不及他姐姐的一半。He sings as well as, if not better than, Mary. 要是他唱歌不比玛丽唱得更好，但至少也是一样好。2. 用于引申义用于引申义，表示“不但??而且”“既是??也是”“而且”“还”。如：He grows flowers as well as vegetables. 他既种菜也种花。She shares (in) my troubles as well as my joys. 她与我同甘共苦。They have a flat in town as well as a place in the country. 他们在城里有一套公寓，在乡村还有一所房子。注：有时还可译为“除??之外，还”，与介词：besides, in addition to的用法相似。如：As well as learning to swim he has been taking Spanish lessons this summer. 今年夏天，他除了学习游泳外，他还在上西班牙语课。二、弄清强调重点A as well as B这一结构强调的重点是A 不是B ，即 A as well as B=not only B but also A，注意体会以下例句的译文：She is clever as well as beautiful. 她不但漂亮，而且聪明。He speaks Spanish as well as English and French. 他不仅会说英语和法语，而且会说西班牙语。Actors have to learn their cues as well as their own lines.
