不一樣的“也”

英語中表示“也”的主要單詞和短語有：too， also， either， as well， as well as等，但它們在用法上有細微的差別。現結合實例闡述如下：

too是副詞，在口語中用得最多，且通常用在肯定句中，放在句末。有時也可放在句中作插入語，前后都要用逗號分開。例如：

I am going to watch the match， too. 我也打算去看這場比賽。

Waste water， too， can be recycled. 廢水也可以回收。

also是副詞，主要用于陳述句中，放在行為動詞之前，be動詞的后面。例如：

He is also invited to go to the party. 他也被邀請參加晚會。

Our English teacher also comes from Jiangsu. 我們的英語老師也來自江蘇。

either是副詞，只能用于否定句中，一般放在句末。例如：

It isn’t hot in summer in Kunming and it isn’t cold in winter either. 昆明既無酷暑，也無嚴寒。

Jack hasn’t seen the film. I haven’t seen it， either. 杰克沒有看過這部影片，我也沒有看過這部影片。

as well是副詞短語，常用于口語中，主要用于肯定句中，放在句末，其前面一般不用逗號。例如：

He knows French， and he knows English as well. 他懂法語，也懂英語。

She sent me a letter and a present as well. 她給我寄了一封信，也給我送了一份禮物。

It is important to spend time for work， study， sports as well. 花費一定的時間工作、學習和運動是非常重要的。

注意：as well有時也用于疑問句中，放在句末。例如：

Would you like some milk， some eggs as well? 你需要一些牛奶，還需要一些雞蛋嗎？

as well as是連詞，主要用于陳述句中，放在句中，連接兩個同類項，表示“除……之外，也”。例如：

He came as well as his brother. 不僅他哥哥來了，而且他也來了。

We often go to the countryside as well as factories. 我們常去工廠，也常去農村。

The government gave us clothes as well as food after the flood. 洪水過后，政府既給我們食物，又給我們衣服。
