语法轻知识

The correct use of as well as as well as的正确用法

Marker sentence:

As well as the clearing of forests for agriculture and coffee farming , there's also a major problem here with illega logging.

除了根据农业和咖啡种植业的需求砍伐森林树木之外,非法砍伐也是一个主要原因。

关于as well as的用法:

1 . as well as and

注意:as well as并不是and的同义词。

and表示并列,它连接的两者并没有侧重点。但as well as是有强调重点的,通常,as well as前面的部分是句子中强调的重点。例如:

John, as well as Mary, came to the party. John和Mary都来参加聚会了。

这里John是被强调的一方。另外要注意的一点是,当as well as连接两个成分作主语时,其后谓语的单复数形式通常要与前面第一个主语保持一致。例如:

John, as well as Mary, enjoys adventure and excitement  John和Mary都喜欢刺激和冒险。

这句话中主语依然是John,所以动词enjoy用的是第三人称单数。

2.as well as可以用在句首,后一般跟动名词,表示除了...还...

as well as the clearing of forests for agriculture and coffee farming...

除了根据农业和咖啡种植业的需求砍伐森林树木之外,还有...(非法砍伐)

As well as breaking his leg, he hurt his arm .也不但摔断了眼,而且还伤了胳膊

主题打包盒

1.邦美蜀是越南的咖啡之都。咖啡复兴让这里一部分人家财万贯,例如越南咖啡王邓黎原羽。他是最早发掘咖啡业潜力的人之一,如今他的公司价值已高达十亿美元。未来他希望将越南咖啡作为一种品贵的饮品推销到全世界。

2.在越南有250万人受雇于咖啡产业,但是咖啡种植面临的问题却日益凸显。由于许多咖啡农并未受过专业训练,他们只能依靠传统经验种植,导致过度使用水和肥料。大量生产廉价低质咖啡的策略也让当地环境遭到了大规模破坏。越南咖啡产业正面临着巨大的威胁。


retell

Buon Ma Thuot is Vietnam’s coffee capital. Coffee has brought fortunes to some people here, for instance, the well-known Vietnam’s coffee king Dang Le Nguyen Vu. He is one of the first to see the potential of the coffee business, and now his business is worth a billion US dollars. In the future, Chairman Vu hopes to sell Vietnam’s coffee to the whole world as a proper, expensive drink.2.5 million people in Vietnam are employed in the coffee industry. However, the problems of coffee planting are looming. As most of the farmers have never been trained to produce coffee, they largely depend on their traditional experience, which results in the overuse of fertilizers and water. Vietnam’s strategy of producing vast quantities of cheap and low-quality coffee beans has contributed to its wholesale destruction. The coffee industry in Vietnam is under huge threats.
