Question

英语翻译
Having an understanding of culture as well as a shared language is essential.
1.为什么understanding前用an?都不是发元音啊
2.为什么是"is" essential?不是有两个吗aving an understanding of culture 和a shared language 不用are?as well as用就近原则吗?那用就近原则的情况都有哪些,

Answer 1

understanding “u”的发音/ʌ/是原音的（发/ju/的时候非原音）,u的发音不能全当本身字母的发音来判断,要看在那个单词里的发音.
as well as 是个插入语,不是主语的一部分,所以谓语动词不需要考虑它后面的东西了,这句话还可以是这样的：Having an understanding of culture is essential as well as a shared language.
