AsWellAs的用法及翻译.docVIP

As Well As的用法及翻译一、AS WELL AS，AND and NOT ONLY…BUT ALSO… As well as可作为副词，介词以及连词使用。在作并列连词时，连接两个相同的成分，如主语，谓语，宾语，表语和状语等，表示“除……之外、不仅……还……、既……又……、不但……而且……、同、和、并、也”之意。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 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。如：“he as well as I”并不等于“he and I”。“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 French. 他精通语。He masters English and French. 他精通英语和法语。（杜永文，2002：1056-1057）As well as也不同于not only…but also…。As well as的重点在前面，而not only…but 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。先译后面，再译前面不仅……还……不但……而且……as well as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 travel 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) 但这常常被忽视，张道真在其中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 important 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
