as well as是用就遠原則。當用作主語的成分后面跟有由but，except，besides，including，like，along with等引出的短語時，謂語動詞習慣上要與這些結構前面的主語保持一致(即與比較遠的那個主語保持一致,簡稱“就遠原則”。

as well as簡介

1、在傳統(tǒng)用法中，as well as并不等同于and。我們知道，在not only A but also B的結構中，語義上側重B，而在A as well as B結構中，語義上側重A，所以，一般翻譯成“不僅B，而且A；既B，又/也A”。例：

In greenhouses,computers control the watering of the plants as well as the light and the temperature.在溫室里，計算機既操縱光照和溫度，也操縱作物的灌溉。

She is clever as well as beautiful.她不僅美麗，而且聰慧。（她既聰慧又美麗。）

2、在現代英語用法中，A as well as B可以用來表示A和B同等重要，即等同于and。例：

You helped him as well as me.你幫助了他和我。

She is clever as well as beautiful.她既聰慧又美麗。
