1) “也一样”。

• You've already been late for breakfast, and if you don't eat fast, you'll be late for school as well.你吃早餐已经晚了，如果再不快点吃，上学也会迟到。

2) “而且加以”。

3) it is (was) just as well (that) 是“幸亏”。

• Judging from everything you've said, it was just as well she wasn't there.从你所说全部情况来看，幸亏当时她不在那里。

4) may (might) (just) as well 有两个可能的意义。第一个意义，是表示“那也行”、“也吧”、“索性…算了”（并不太主张这样做，但“既来之则安之”，也不反对）。

• —Shall we go to the cinema? —We might as well. —咱们去看电影好吗？—去也好。

第二个意思，是更进一步，表示当前所说的情况已经坏到 as well 后面所说的情况那样坏的地步，甚至还不如那样干脆。

• The couple might as well have been strangers.那一对简直如同陌路人。
• We might just as well be in prison for all the quality our lives have at present.拿我们目前生活的质量，倒不如干脆住进监狱里。
