“as well as+动词”用法透析
as well as的意思是“不但……而且”“既是……也是”“而且”“还”等,当它后接动词时,有时用动词原形,有时用不定式,有时用动名词,共用以下用法:
用法一
在许多情况下as well as被认为是介词,故后接动词时,用动名词形式。如:
He sings as well as playing the piano. 他不但会弹钢琴,而且会唱歌。
She takes private pupils as well as teaching in school. 她除在学校任教外,也私自教授学生。
She is a talented musician as well as being a photographer. 她不但是摄影师还是个天才的音乐家。
As well as breaking his leg, he hurt his arm. 他不但摔断了腿,而且还伤了胳膊。
Smoking is dangerous, as well as making you smell bad. 吸烟不仅使你身上有气味,而且危险。
She is a talented musician as well as being a photographer. 她不但是摄影师还是个天才的音乐家。
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。
【注意】as well as 后接动词用动名词的情况主要见于主句谓语为简单时态(即一般现在时和一般过去时)的时候。
用法二
如果主句谓语为复合时态,即其中含有情态动词或助动词,则as well as 后的动词通常要与情态动词或助动词后的动词形式保持一致。如:
Students should pursue their own interests, as well as do their school work. 学生不仅应该做要好家庭作业,而且还要有自己的兴趣。
I have to feed the animals as well as look after the children. 我不但要照顾孩子们,还要喂那些动物。
用法三
如果as well as 是连接两个不定式,则其后用不带to的不定式。如:
A museum should aim to entertain as well as educate. 博物馆不仅要有教育性还且还要有娱乐性。
We cannot expect her to do the homework as well as look after the children. 我们不能指望她既做作业又照看孩子。
