371. He has donated to museums hundreds of his paintings as well as his entire personal collection of modern art.

译文　他把自己数百幅的画作以及所有个人收藏的现代艺术品捐给了博物馆。

点睛　as well as在此处意为“也，同样”，在语义上强调的是在它前面提到的比较对象。如：

The tournament is open to amateurs as well as professionals. 这次比赛不仅职业运动员可以参加，业余运动员也可以参加。

as well as也可以表示“与……一样好”。如：

He can speak Spanish as well as English. 他不但英语说得好，西班牙语也在行。

考点归纳　与as well as类似的短语还有as well和not only...but also。

as well意为“也”，但它是副词短语，相当于too，一般放在句末，有时和连词and或but搭配使用。如：

He is a worker, and a poet as well. 他是工人，但也是位诗人。

not only...but also与as well as含义相同，但二者的语义重点刚好相反。其中，not only...but also强调后者，而as well as则强调前者，后者只是顺便提及。如：

1) She not only plays well, but also writes music. 她不仅会演奏，而且还会作曲。

2) The child is not only healthy but also lively. (＝The child is lively as well as healthy.) 这孩子既健康又活泼。
