課本中不會教你的[N]493　not only…but also和as well as

493　not only…but also和as well as

◎ not only…but also用來連接平行的詞或詞組，意義與用法同as well as相似，但強調的重點有所不同。not only…but also強調的是后者，as well as強調的是前者。這兩個連接詞進行轉換時，要注意被強調對象的轉移。

比較

not only A but also B→重點在后

B as well as A→重點在前

他不但給她寫信，而且給她寄了錢。

He not only wrote to her but also sent her some money.

He sent her some money as well as wrote to her.

提示

①由于as well as所強調的是前者，所以as well as連接兩個詞作主語時，謂語動詞的數(shù)要同as well as前面的主語一致。

She as well as you is right. 她和你都是對的。

②在“He works as well as a skilled worker. ”一句中，as well as 不是連詞，不表示“不但……而且”，這種用法中的well是副詞，意為“好”，as…as為表示平等比較的連詞，意為“像……一樣”。上句可譯為“他工作像一位熟練工人那樣好。”
