also, as well, besides, either, moreover, too
这组词(组)都有“也,此外,还有”的意思。它们的区别是:
also一般用于肯定句,有强调意味,位于主谓语之间,即实义动词之前,助动词之后; too只用于肯定句中,一般位于句末,比also更口语化; either一般只用于否定句,多位于句末; as well和too一样多用于口语,放在句末; besides与moreover词义基本相同,但moreover后面所叙述的,通常比前面所叙述更为重要或更深入一步,在词序方面, moreover往往用于句首,另外, moreover是较为正式的用语。例如:
He also asked to go.他也要去。
I can also do it.我也能干那个活。
English is not easy, and French is not easy either.英语不容易,法语也不容易。
He is a teacher, and a writer as well.他是个教师,也是个作家。
I don't like those shoes; besides, they're too expensive.那双鞋我不喜欢,而且也太贵。
I don't like skating; moreover, the ice is too thin.我不想去溜冰,再说冰层也太薄。
The Opposition have consistently accused the Government of corruption.Moreover, they have named names.反对党一直在指责政府腐败,而且是指名道姓的。
not only...but also,as well as
这两者共同的意思是“不但…而且”,都连接两个并列的成分。它们的区别是:
1.从用法上说:as well as可用于否定句;而not only...but also不可。
2.从一致上说:连接并列主语时,谓语动词的数须与but also后面的名词或代词一致,而与as well as前面的名词或代词一致。
3.从翻译上说:not only...but also按词序排列翻译,强调but also后面的成分;而as well as则先译as well as后面的成分,强调其前面的成分。
下面四个句子的意思不同:
Also she phoned me today.

(可能还发过e-mail)
She phoned also me today.
今天她给我也打了电话。
(可能给别人也打了电话)
She phoned me also today.
她给我今天也打了电话。
(可能昨天也打了电话)
