8、意。现分别举例如下:Tom as well as Jack blamed me.不仅杰克,就连汤姆也责怪我。To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act. Anatole Keats要完成伟大的事业,既要实干,更要有崇高的理想。阿纳托尔济慈爱(王国栋,2004:548)Living things need light as well as air and water. 生物不仅需要空气与水,还需要阳光。He is courageous as well as strong.他既强壮又勇敢。A man may usually is
9、 known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps. S. Smiles通常不但可以从一个人所交往的人,还可以从所读的书来了解一个人。斯迈尔斯(英国传记作家)(王国栋,2004:548)(改译:通常,了解一个人不仅可以通过他所交往的人,还可以通过所读的书。)As well as 虽有“同、和、也”的意思,但与 and 的表意用法不同,并列连词 and 可以连接名词、代词或数词,其所连接的成分不分主次、轻重,但 as well as 有主次、轻重之分。例如:“he as well as I”并不等于“he and I”。
10、“he as well as I”,he 是重点,I 居次要地位,译为“不仅我,而且他”。 The teacher blamed you and him as well as me. 老师不仅责备我(次要),而且也责备了你和他。(“你和他”是重点。)He masters English as well as French. 他不仅精通法语(次要),而且精通英语(重点)。He masters English and French. 他精通英语和法语。(英语和法语并重)(杜永文,2002:1056-1057)As well as 也不同于 not onlybut also。As well as 的
11、重点在前面,而 not onlybut also的重点在后面,即在 but also 之后,例如:The teacher, as well as students wishes for holidays.不但学生连老师也都希望放假。=Not only the students but also the teacher wishes for holidays.不但学生就连老师也希望放假。(王国栋,2004:549)所以在翻译过程中,要谨慎对待 as well as。应该先译后面,再译前面,因为中文里的“不仅还”、“不但而且”等关联词所连接的成分,其强调的部分在后面,正好与 as well as
12、相反。Ignorance is the mother of fear as well as of admiration.无知是羡慕的根源,也是恐惧的根源。(蔡宗源,2000:73)He grows flowers as well as vegetables. 他不但种菜而且种花。She is a talented musician as well as being a photographer. 她是一个摄影师又是很有才华的音乐家。(李振华、杨广育,1991:1834)He gave me money as well as advice. 他除了给我忠告外,还给我钱。We shall trav
13、el by night as well as by day, both by night and by day. 我们将日夜赶路。(A S Hornby, 1994:1307)但这常常被英语学习者忽视,也不免于大家之手。张道真先生在其编著的各版语法书中,对 as well as 的翻译基本上都错了。现将其摘抄并改译如下:(其书中相同的句子不重列)I have read one of his novels as well as a few of his plays.我念过他的一本小说和他的几个剧本。(张道真,2002:454)改译为:我不仅读过他的一些剧本,还读过他的一本小说。It is imp
14、ortant for you as well as for me.这对你对我都很重要。(张道真,2002:454)改译为:这不仅对我很重要,对你也很重要。This is a political as well as an economic question.这是一个政治也是经济问题。(张道真,2002:502)这是一个政治问题,也是一个经济问题。(这句译文出现在实用英语语法最新版中)(张道真,2003:467)改译为:这不仅是个经济问题,更是个政治问题。We cannot expect her to do the homework as well as look after the child
15、ren.我们不能指望她既做作业又照看孩子。(张道真,2002:502)改译为:我们不可能叫她既照顾孩子又做家庭作业。John can speak Chinese as well as French.约翰能讲汉语及法语。(张道真,2003:467)改译为:约翰不仅能讲法语,还能讲汉语。We shall travel by night as well as by day.我们将日夜兼程。(张道真,2003:467)这是唯一译对的一句,应是源于牛津现代高级英汉双解词典。The conflict spread everywhere, into villages, as well as into cit
16、ies.冲突到处蔓延,蔓延到了农村,也蔓延到了城市。(张道真,2003:467)改译为:冲突到处蔓延,蔓延到了城市,也蔓延到了农村。二、AS WELL AS 的注意事项:1. As well as 连接三个成分时,可用 A and B as well as C; A as well as B and C。但不可用 A, B as well as C。(王国栋,2004:549)比如:通常不使用“you, he as well as I”,却使用“you and he as well as I”(=“不仅我,而且你和他”)。(杜永文,2002:1056-1057)2. As well as 连接复合主语时,其后的动词形式取决于 as well as 前面的名词。例如:Lynn as well as I likes mathematics. 不仅我,林恩也喜欢数学。I as well as they w
