____ you've got a chance, you might as well make full use of it.
A. As soon as B. After C. Although D. Now that(全国高考,99-11)
《as well 及其他》一文(载《英语辅导报·高中教师版》,1999-2000 学年度第 1 期)对上面的试题作了如下的解答:
“最佳答案是 D。Now that 句意为:‘既然你得到了一个机会,你或许也能充分利用它’。然而有的同学不清楚 as well 的意义,将句意理解成:‘当你得到了一个机会后,你或许能充分利用它。’因而误选 B. After。
事实上, as well 意为: in addition, also, too‘也, 又, 同样地。’ 在句子中起连接两个概念的作用。请注意观察下面相关句子, 注意连接词的不同及各句句意。
①Peter and Paul came to the zoo. 彼得和保尔来到动物园。
②Paul came to the zoo. Peter came, too. 保尔来到动物园,彼得也来了。
③Paul came to the zoo. Peter came as well. 保尔来到动物园,彼得也来了。”
上文对上道题的解答似乎有误,不知我的看法对否?
上文的作者误解了 might as well 的意义和用法。把 might 理解为“或许”,而把 as well 理解为“也”。其实,might(may)as well 是一个常用习语,意思是“不妨”“最好”“还是……的好”。它与单独使用的 as well 的意义和用法完全不同。因此,上文作者把上句中的 as well 解释为,also,too,in addition,完全是一种误解,因而所举的例句也是与上题风马牛不相及的(参见 now(that),may as well)。
[试译]既然你得到了一个机会,你最好还是充分地利用它。
