Those who do nothing are inviting shame as well as violence.

語音講解

今日發音練習重點：

invite violence 中的字母v應發v。注意區分w/v的發音。

單詞內包含字母v，一般對應v的發音，而不可能發w

言之有物

1. 詞鏈兒：those who do nothing 那些什么都不做的人

Those (people) who = They/People who 意為“凡是…的人們”。

those who 是復數句型，但我們也可用單數句型來表達相同的意思：

He/One who = Anyone who = Whoever + 單數動詞。

例句：

Those who have money do not want for friends. (凡是有錢的人都不會缺乏朋友)

= He who has money does not want for friends.

= Whoever has money does not want for friends. (Whoever = Anyone who)

Do you think those who work hard are sure to succeed?

你認為努力工作的人一定會成功嗎？

2. invite 動詞

邀請，招待

They've invited us to stay for the weekend.

他們已邀請我們留下來度周末。

引起，招致

You're just inviting trouble if you do that.

如果你那樣做，只能是惹麻煩。

inviting adj. 吸引人的，誘人的

an inviting smell 誘人的氣味

3. as well as 精講

很多人把它誤以為”and”的同義詞，但其實它表達的是”not only(不但) … but also(而且)”，在已知的事實外，添加更多信息的意思。

John, as well as Mary, wants to leave early.

在這個范例中，as well as用來表示不僅Mary，John也想要早點離開。因為Mary是單數名詞，所以動詞會是wants，而非want。

Animals, as well as plants need water to survive.

此范例中，animas則是復數名詞，動詞使用need。

He hurt his arm as well as breaking his leg.

She draws as well as designing clothes.

這兩個例句中，我們以as well as連接兩個動作，而接在as well as后的動作，請改為動名詞形式。切勿誤用為He hurt his arm as well as broke his leg.，或She draws as well as designs clothes.。

I have to clean the floors as well as cook food.

此句中使用了不定詞to clean，但接在as well as后的動作，請別也在前面加上to，而是直接使用原形動詞即可。別誤用為I have to clean the floors as well as to cook food. 。

活學活用

請用 as well as 隨意造句
