Because与as well as的用法

Because

注意一汉语可以说“因为……所以……”,但是英语却不能使用 because…so…这样的结构。改正的办法是,要么去掉其中的because,使之成为并列句;要么去掉so,使之成为主从复合句。如:

因为他很忙,所以不能来。

误:Because he is very busy, so he can’t come.

正:He is very busy, so he can’t come.

正:Because he is very busy, he can’t come.

注意二because 除用于引导原因状语从句外,还可引出表语从句。如:

It is because you’re eating too much. 那是因为你吃得太多了。

It is because he is too foolish. 那是因为他太蠢了。

注意三在 not...because... 这一结构中,not 有时否定主句,有时否定从句,具体视语境而定。一般说来,若 not 否定主句, 最好在because 之前用逗号,否则会引起歧义,如下句在没有特定上下文时就有两种解释:

I didn’t go because I was afraid.

a. 我没有去是因为怕。

b. 我不是因为怕才去。

但是若 because 之前有 just 修饰,一般认为 not 是否定从句而不是主句。如:

You shouldn’t get angry just because some people speak ill of you. 你不要因为有人说你坏话而生气。

注意四汉语说“之所以……是因为……”,说成英语通常是The reason (why)…is that… 其中的that最好不用because代替。如:

The reason (why) I’m late is that [because] I missed the bus. 我迟到的原因是因为我没有赶上公共汽车。

注意五 用于复合介词because of,其后可接名词、代词、动名词、what 从句等。如:

He is here because of you (that). 他为你(那事)而来这里。

We said nothing about it, because of his wife’s being there. 因为他妻子在那儿,我们对此只字未提。

He left the company because of what the boss said at the meeting. 他离开了这家公司,是因为老板在会上讲的话。

但是,because of后不能直接跟that从句或者是没有引导词的从句。如:

由于我的病我不能干这工作。

正:I can’t do the work because of my illness.

正:I can’t do the work because I’m ill.

误:I can’t do the work because of I’m ill.

误:I can’t do the work because of that I’m ill.

as well as

作为习语用作介词时,as well as的涵义是“还有”、“不但…而且…”。值得注意的是,在A as well as B的结构里,语意的重点在 A,不在 B。因此,“He can speak Spanish as well as English.”的译文应该是:“他不但会说英语,而且会讲西班牙语”,决不能译作:“他不但会说西班牙语,而且会讲英语”。如果这样翻译,就是本末倒置了。as well as和 not only… but also…同义,但前者的语意重点和后者的语意重点恰好颠倒。

如果 as well as用作连词引出比较从句,其义为“和…一样好”。因此,“He speaks Spanish as well as English.”应译作:“他说西班牙语像说英语一样好”。语意的重点依旧在前部,不在后半部。

请注意 as well as以下的用法:

She called on you as well as I.

不但我来看你,她也拜访了你。

She called on you as well as me.

她不但拜访了我,也拜访了你。

在下列句中,as well as表示“像…一样”的涵义:

She as well as you is an English teacher.

她像你一样也是英文教师。

这里的谓语动词用is,不用are,因为句中的主语是she,不是she和you。

As well是副词短语,其义为“也”,相当于too,它一般放在句末,有时和连词and或but搭配使用。例:

He is a worker,and a poet as well.

他是工人,但也是诗人。

China possesses enormous quantities of coal and is rich in other minerals as well.

中国拥有大量煤炭,其他的矿藏也很丰富。

Mr.Liu can speak English,but he can speak Cantonese as well.

刘先生会说英语,但他也能讲广东话。

as well as 可连接并列的单词或短语

如果as well as 前面是动词不定式,那么其后的动词也是不定式,但to要省略应保持一致。

由as well as 连接的复合主语并不影响谓语动词的数

as well as 连接的人称代词既可以是主格也可以是宾格,但句意不同。

as well as 用于肯定结构和否定结构中,其意义不同

强调连续性和反复性,and连接相同的两个词,可以是动词、名词、形容词或副词

祈使句+and+简单句”结构,表示条件关系,祈使句相当于if引导的条件从句。

在口语中,and可用在come, go run, hurry up, stay, stop等动词后代替表示目的的动词不定式,这些词也可以接带to的不定式

and位于句首时常用来承上启下,有“那么;于是;因此”之意

and用来连接数词(=plus)时,表示“加”。

and all that = and so on = and so forth = and what not,意为“诸如此类;等等”。

and yet表示“但是;然而”。

as well as连接两个动词时,有三种情况:

1)前后两个动词的时态要一致。即:若第一个动词是一般现在时,第二个动词也应是一般现在时;若第一个动词是一般过去时,第二个动词也应是一般过去时。例如:

He publishes(published)as well as prints(printed)his own books.他的书是自己印刷并出版的。

2)如果第一个动词是复合时态,或由can,may, must等加动词构成时,as well as后面可省去助动词或情态动词,此时,as well as意为“既……又……”。例如:

We are repairing the roof as well as painting the walls.我们在粉刷墙壁,同时也在修理屋顶。

She can /could sing as well as dance.她既会跳舞也会唱歌。

3)如果第一个动词是不定式,as well as后面的动词也要用不定式,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务。

5.注意as well as的另外两层涵义:

1)as well as还有“除……之外”之意。例如:

As well as knowing some Russian,she speaks English very well.除了懂得一点俄语之外,她的英语讲得很好。

2)as well as还可视为as...as结构,用于副词的同等比较。可解作“和……一样好”。例如:

He can speak English as well as you can.
