as wellas和might as well as many
as wellas可譯為與其，不如，更好，以這樣做為宜，如同，也可以等等。might as wellas表示不可能的事，可譯為猶如，可與一樣荒唐，與其那樣不如這樣的好等等。
One may as well not know a thing at all as know it imperfectly.
2. sothat, suchthat是一個普通的`句型，但在同一個句子裡有兩處使用它卻比較少見。
The truth is, that in one point of view, this matter of national literature has come to such a pass with us, that in some sense we must turn bullies, else the day is lost, or superiority so far beyond us, that we can hardly say it will ever be ours.
3. by doing結構。這個結構的意思是通過，但翻譯實踐中不能拘泥於這種釋義，不少情況下需要靈活變通。
4. somethingof和nothingof
something of相當於to some extent，表示程度。在疑問句或條件從句中，則為anything of，可譯為有點，略微等。譯為毫無，全無 of譯為大有，not much of可譯為算不上，稱不上，little of可譯為幾乎無thing like譯為有點像，略似。
They say that he had no university education, but he seems to be something of a scholar.
5. 同格名詞修飾是指of前後的兩個名詞都指同一個人或物，of以及它前面的名詞構一個形容詞短語，以修飾of後面的那個名詞。如her old sharper of a father，可譯為：她那騙子般的父親.
