大傢好，歡迎收聽 AYYBLOG英語教學的 “你問我答” 節目。I’m Jiaying.

Phil
And I’m Phil. We’ve got a question from one of our listeners.

Question
Greetings! I was wondering if you could tell me the differences between ‘as well as’, ‘in addition to’, ‘moreover’ and ‘furthermore’. Thank you!

Phil
These are all expressions that we can use to add information, so it’s good to look at how they’re different.

這四個搭配或詞語都可以在句子中起到補充或添加信息的作用。其中，搭配 “as well as” 和 “in addition to” 的意思都是 “除…之外還，和”，都充當句子的介詞成分，引出與此前談論的內容有關的其它信息。這兩個搭配的後面通常都跟名詞。

Phil
‘As well as’ is probably more common in spoken English. ‘In addition to’ is a bit more formal. Notice that both of these expressions can put a slight emphasis on the item that doesn’t follow ‘as well as’ or ‘in addition to’.

在英語口語交流中，搭配 “as well as” 比 “in addition to” 更常用。就正式程度而言，“in addition to” 比 “as well as” 更正式。註意：這兩個搭配都可以用來強調在句子中與它們引出的名詞所並列的名詞部分。聽兩個例句。

Examples
I’m going to Seoul soon, so I’ve started studying Korean as well as Japanese.
（我很快就要去首爾瞭，所以除瞭日語以外，我也開始學韓語瞭。）

There’s a bus service now in addition to the train. The bus is often much cheaper.
（除瞭火車以外，現在還通公共汽車。坐公共汽車通常要便宜得多。）

Jiaying
搭配 “as well as” 和 “in addition to” 還可以用於句首。註意：我們可以使用不帶介詞 “to” 的副詞搭配 “in addition”，但它的後面跟的是一句完整的話。請聽例句，第一個例句中使用瞭 “as well as”，第二個和第三個例句中都使用瞭 “in addition”。

Examples
As well as playing football, I’ve just started playing hockey. It’s good to try new sports!
（除瞭踢足球以外，我還剛開始打曲棍球。嘗試新的運動是一件好事！）

I’ve been studying Japanese for years. In addition, I’ve started studying Korean.
（我學日語已經很多年瞭。除此之外，我又開始學習韓語。）

The train is good. In addition, there’s a bus service.
（火車很好。除此之外，還有公共汽車服務。）

Phil
Next, we’ve got ‘furthermore’ and ‘moreover’. These both sound a lot more formal than ‘as well as’ and ‘in addition to’. They are far more likely to be used in written rather than spoken language.

Jiaying
接下來，我們講一講問題中的單詞 “furthermore” 和 “moreover”。它們的意思都是 “此外”，而且都是副詞，後面通常跟完整的一句話。在問題中提到的四個搭配或單詞中，“furthermore” 和 “moreover” 屬於最正式的兩個詞，而且在書面語中使用的頻率遠高於它們在口語交流中使用的頻率。請聽兩個例句。

Examples
Our finances are a problem because we have not recruited enough students. Furthermore, our costs have increased.
（我們的資金是個問題，因為沒有招到足夠的學生。此外，我們的成本也增加瞭。）

The restaurant is successful because it has had very favourable reviews. Moreover, the location is very well-suited.
（這傢餐館之所以成功是因為它收到瞭非常好的評價。此外，地理位置也非常好。）

Phil
So, the main differences between ‘in addition to’, ‘in addition’, ‘as well as’, ‘furthermore’ and ‘moreover’ are the levels of formality and whether they are used as prepositions or adverbs.

Jiaying
“In addition to”、“in addition”、“as well as”、“furthermore” 和 “moreover” 之間的主要區別在於它們的正式程度不同，以及它們在句子中是充當介詞成分還是作副詞使用。
