as well as 使用方法含义？

I had, just a big event at my work, and so now Ive got a lot on my plate to try

to deal with the post-event stuff as well as things that I had put on the back burner.

这是教美国语音的老师说的。

上句中的as well as应该是not only...but also...的意思吧？而不是as well as 和...一样好的使用方法？

as well as 除去比较外，还可以表示：

as well as 只有 not only 的意思，没but also...的意思。as well as 后面的成分是次要信息。前面的那个成分是主要信息，理解为 but also 。就是说倒着翻译。比如：

Personal cleanliness is important to health as well as to appearance.

= Personal cleanliness is important not onlyto appearance, but also to health.

个人清洗不只对仪表，而且对健康同样要紧。
