as well as 和and 的区别联系

TONYKMF

OG13:

46. Inancient Thailand, much of the local artisans’ creative energy was expended for thecreation of Buddha images and when they constructed and decorated the templesthat enshrined them.

(A) much of the local artisans’ creative energy wasexpended for the creation of Buddha images and when they constructed anddecorated the temples that enshrined them

(B) much of the local artisans’ creative energy wasexpended on the creation of Buddha images and on construction and decoration ofthe temples in which they were enshrined

(C) much of the local artisans’ creative energy wasexpended on the creation of Buddha images as well as constructing anddecoration of the temples in which they were enshrined

(D) creating images of Buddha accounted for much ofthe local artisans’ creative energy, and also constructing and decorating thetemples enshrining them

(E) the creation of Buddha images accounted formuch of the local artisans’ creative energy as well as construction anddecoration of the temples that enshrined them

这道题见了N遍了，但是还是经常错，虽然考点不是as well as 和and,但是在看千行的时候有这么一句话：C：as well as不能替代and，这里三个item是同在一个层级的；
求问as well as 和 and 连接的时候有什么区别呢

几许VV

呀我也很好奇这个问题呢，我感觉我就没做到过as well as正确的题目.. 求路过的NN解答！

  energy was expended on the creation  ... and on (construction and decoration)  of the temples


楼主如果看明白句子表达意思了，这个问题很简单了

不是三个并列,是两个 creation 和 construction and decoration

我记得 as well as 好像是比and 低一级别，这种说法

spicytaco

专门查了下，大家共同学习下

First of all, "X and Y" is parallel structure, and both elements are regarded equally. In the construction "X as well as Y," X is the main focus and Y is an afterthought, of secondary importance: they are definitely not presented rhetorically as equals. This second structure is NOT parallelism.

Similarly, we would have "X and Y do P," plural verb, because "and" makes a plural subject even if X and Y are singular. That's called a compound subject. By contrast, we would have "X as well as Y does P,," singular verb, because "as well as" creates what is called an additive phrase, a noun modifier that is not considered part of the subject. See:
Compound Subjects & Additive Phrases

We could join more than two with either, but again, several element joined by "and" are all of equal rank, equal importance. If I join some element by "and" and other by "as well as," this is a rhetorical caste system, with the elements after "as well as" of lesser importance.

Joyce, Pynchon, and Vonnegut are important novelists of the 20th century.

That sentence presents the three authors as equally important.

The bookstore sells novels by Hemingway and Fitzgerald, as well as by Erich Segal and Mickey Spillane.

There is a subtle hint of judgment in that sentence: the works of Hemingway and Fitzgerald are put on a slightly higher level than the works of Erich Segal and Mickey Spillane.

I agree that "as well as" creates a dichotomous contrast, but I think it might be a bit misleading to say that it is "for only two things." Instead, it could be used to separate a group of multiple elements into two different rhetorical levels:

1) He likes Baroque choral music, 19th century chamber music, 1980's punk, and gangsta rap.
2) He likes Baroque choral music and 19th century chamber music, as well as 1980's punk and gangsta rap.

Sentence #1 simply puts the four genres side by side as equals. Sentence #2 creates a subtle rhetorical division between the former two and the latter two; it could be that the speaker of #2 implies some judgments about the latter two. We get this hint of judgment in #2, whereas it's entirely absent in #1.

I think it's very safe to say that the "vs." structure will not ever appear on the GMAT SC.

Og好像有一道题是as well as做正确答案的 就是 废墟以前是一个宫殿 然后是由plan artifacts什么表现出来的（大致意思是这个）

as well as 和and，相同之处，是都表示并列（在这里说并列可能不太严谨），所以as well as链接的对象要求，其实跟and一样，要求虚实对等。

不同之处之处。
1.as well as表示的是伴随，as well as后面接的名词或者事物处于从属地位，而and链接的两个element处于平等地位。所以前面说并列是一种不严谨的说法，但没有找到太好的表达方式。

2.as well as不能像and一样做连词，所以a，b，as well as c是错误的表达。

3.as well as常常引导的是伴随状语，表明主句主语谓语动作发出时的状态、背景等，也就是不严谨地说通常会指向主语，当被用来表示主语以外的成分的并列时，常会引起歧义。比如我们讨论过的那个solar wind的题目，比如这道题。要避免歧义，通常位置上尽量靠近，并且通过加介词等方式来规避歧义。比如og 宫殿废墟的那个题，as well as by sth 就清晰很多

辛苦手机码字了！我觉得其实要是理解了as well as这种伴随的作用应该就可以把它和and区分起来

谢谢蚕豆童鞋！

你说的‘从属关系’，是不是指「次重要」呢？

找了一下你说的这一题，大家可以一起看看~

A ruined structure found at Aqaba, Jordan, was probably a church, as indicated in its eastward orientation and by its overall plan, as well as artifacts, such as glass oil-lamp fragments, found at the site.

OA：E）

「That a ruined structure found at Aqaba, Jordan, was probably a church」 is indicated  by its eastward orientation and overall plan, as well as by the artifacts, such as glass oil-lamp fragments, found at the site.

红色部分主语从句，表示「找到的这个东西以前可能是教堂」这件事，是由3个东西暗示的，向东的朝向和整体设计，以及一些手工艺品。
这里artifacts是次重要的辅助的证据，朝向和设计才是决定因素。
