摘要:状语升级为分句
前言:像 “rather than” 和 “as well as” 这类列举项的逻辑标记,频繁出现在历年真题中,鉴于其影响句子的整体含义,也就成为出题人设陷阱的关键点。在选项之间犹豫不决时,可能从一开始你就误解了它们的逻辑功能和用法本质。
正文必须直奔主题.....
as well as在连接状态下的语义重心
观察1:
Dressing to impress has an environmental cost as well as a financial one.
显眼包打扮,付出经济成本,还会产生环境成本。
显眼包打扮,付出环境成本,还会产生经济成本。?
语义重心在哪里?
找到原文所在的段落:
Dressing to impress has an environmental cost as well as a financial one. From the pesticides poured on cotton fields to.... Because consumers keep almost every type of apparel only half as long as they did 15 years ago, these inputs quickly go to waste. The latest worry is shoppers in the developing world, ... but are fast catching up.
........。据麦肯锡咨询公司估计,从在棉花田里喷洒的杀虫剂到...。由于消费者对各类衣物的平均使用年限仅为 15 年前的一半,这些投入很快就会被浪费掉。最新的担忧在于发展中国家的消费者,.......但正在迅速赶上。
小结:可以看出,在连接状态时,
比较项语义重心在后,是递进结构关系,翻译为:还,还会.....。
语义信息排序规则:先旧后新的认知规律不可违反;先主后次的逻辑法则适度可调;平衡之美只是锦上添花。
本句中,环境问题是旧信息。
as well as在断开状态下的语义重心
继续观察:
As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as [A ], with display becoming sharper and storage capacity increasing.
A.institutional B.universal
C.fundamental D.instrument
随着时间推移,计算机变得越来越小,性能越来越强劲。而且随着画面显示越来越清晰,存储容量越来越大,计算机也变得越来越“个人化”,而不仅仅为机构所用。
小结:可以看出在断开状态时,
比较项语义重心在主句上。as well as
在后是补充信息,解释、说明,翻译为:(前无提示)此外还;(前有提示)不仅仅,除了;....
在前是铺垫信息,说明条件背景,翻译为:不仅仅,除了....
本句中,“不仅仅”是新信息。翻译要保证重心留在主句上。
如果把as well as 直接理解成and,认为是并列结构而非递进结构,一定会翻车。
测试
1.It's true, of course, that you should be able to remember what the author said as well as know what he meant.Being informed is important, and it would be absurd to suggest otherwise. But knowing the author’s words is only the beginning of understanding. It is not enough just to memorize them.当然,你应该能够记住作者说了什么,还会知道他的意思。了解信息是很重要的,否认这一点将是荒谬的。但记住作者的话只是理解的开始。仅仅记住是不够的。
从remember→know→understand,
语义在升级。
It's true, of course, that you should be able to remember what the author said and know what he meant as well.当然,这确实意味着你应该能够记住作者所说的内容,并且明白他的意图。
and是并列连词,可语义却在升级。
这个句子,可能是作者早期版本。
2.It is worth considering why employees regard remote working as so valuable. As well as a commute-free life,it relates to how employees measure their own well-being ,specifically to how they understand their personal identities.值得思考的是,员工为何会认为远程工作如此有价值。这不仅是因为它能让人摆脱通勤的困扰,还因为它与员工对自身幸福感的衡量方式有关,这种衡量方式具体体现在他们对个人身份的理解上。
本句中,“通勤困扰”,是旧信息。
找as well as的语义属性
观察2:
She draws as well as she designs clothes.她绘画像她设计服装一样好。
前后语义,对能力程度比较。as well限制draws。不是as well as固定结构。
Charles and Linda Mason do all of these things as well as climb buildings.
查尔斯和琳达·梅森这对搭档不仅会做这些事情,还会攀爬建筑物。
前后语义,对事件性质比较。同主语管辖,语义相关不独立,前后连接。
She draws,as well as designing clothes. 她会画画,此外还会设计衣服。
前后语义,对事件性质比较。此外事件语义独立,前后断开。
小结:
语义关联不独立,前后连接;语义独立,前后断开。
找as well as的词类属性
继续观察。
Charles and Linda Mason do all of these things as well as climb buildings.
还原历史版本:
Charles and Linda Mason do all of these things as well as they climb buildings
重复内容省略
→Charles and Linda Mason do all of these things as well as climb buildings.
可以看出,as well as引导一个从句时,有意义不做成分,删除后不影响从句的完整。as well as是从属连词属性的结构,复合从属连词或者超级从属连词。
She draws,as well as designing clothes.
还原历史版本:
She draws,as well as she is designing clothes.
分句平行结构,还原非限定分句时,利用了现在分词的“共时语义场”属性。
在从属连词分句与独立分句(主句)的平行结构中,as well as有语义且不改变原结构属性,是插入的逻辑标记,用于确定前后列举项语义关系,同时关闭了开放式列举。
重复内容省略
→She draws,as well as designing clothes.
小结:
as well as是从属连词属性。
测试
He is also wanted by Interpol, as well as by the International Criminal Court. 他也被国际刑警组织通缉,除了被国际刑事法庭追捕。
还原历史版本:
He is also wanted by Interpol, as well as he is wanted by the International Criminal Court.
重复内容省略
→He is also wanted by Interpol, as well as by the International Criminal Court.
事件性质不同,语义独立,前后结构断开。
构成从属分句与独立分句(主句)平行结构。 as well as是插入的逻辑标记,确定了前后列举项的语义关系,同时关闭了平行结构的开放式列举。
She manages the budget as well as ordering the equipment.她负责预算管理,还负责采购设备。
被同一个主语管辖,语义不独立,前后连接。
还原历史版本:
She manages the budget as well as she manages ordering the equipment.
重复内容省略
→She manages the budget as well as ordering the equipment
小结:
要写出简洁版,找到比较项才是核心问题。
找比较项
He was much in demand as a lecturer in the U.S., as well as at universities all over Europe.他在美国是个非常受欢迎的演讲者,此外,在全欧洲的大学中也是。
比较项:状语。
