請問這句話中的stand up是什麼意思呢?

Question

1.請問這句話中的stand up是什麼意思呢?
2.as well的用法是如何?

原文出自 :BBC - London - TV and Radio - Geoff Schumann
http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/articles/2005/06/02/geoff_schumann_feature.shtml

再請問一下a more serious look at life中的look可不可以用view來替換?

Kevin :
偷偷告訴你喔！BBC的文章也是有錯的，但不是文法是typo，一字錯也是錯了，今天啊，我寫了一封email給BBC London，我對文中Schumman這個字有疑慮，很快地在五分鐘內他們就回我信了，Schumman他們拼錯了，正確的拼法是Schumann才對！

如果想看完整原文，我剛剛試了一下，好像不能直接用點擊網址的方式，這樣會出現錯誤的連結，但可以用copy網址再貼上IE的網址列就可以了。

Answer 1

先說簡單的部分:
1. stand up comedy:
通常把前兩個字寫成 stand-up , 整個片語的意思是 "單人搞笑劇" 或 "脫口秀". (單口相聲)
stand-up comedian: 脫口秀諧星
2. a more serious look at life:
以較為嚴肅的"眼光"或"觀點"來看待生命
換成 view , point of view ,或 viewpoint 都可以, 不過原來的 at 是配合 look 這個動詞, 轉換之後的介系詞可以用
a more serious view on life
a more serious view about life
再談比較有疑慮的部分:
版主應該是瞭解整句的意思, 只是對文法結構有疑慮.
我想如果原句寫成:
Schumman is known for his stand up comedy and entertainment as well as a more serious look at life.
(除了以較為嚴肅的觀點來看待生命之外, Schumann也以脫口秀型態的表演著稱.<重點在脫口秀>)
或是:
Schumman is known for his stand up comedy and entertainment, and a more serious look at life as well.
(Schumann以脫口秀型態的表演以及較為嚴肅的生命觀著稱.<兩者並重>)
那麼版主應該就不會有 as well 用法的疑問了吧?
但是原文既然是BBC的文章, 總不能說它是錯的(畢竟是人家的母語). 除非真正有把握, 否則身為"外國人"的我們, 最好還是以標準用法為原則.
以上是個人的解讀, 尚請糾正指教.

Answer 2

Schumman is known for his stand up comedy and entertainment as well a more serious look at life.
使Schumman 聞名於娛樂界的是他的單人脫口秀和搞笑天份，同時也以一種比較嚴肅的態度來觀察生命。
註釋：
known for 以……而聞名
stand up comedy 單人脫口秀，類似中國的「單人相聲」。
as well 同樣地，也。
a more serious look at life. 要把look改成view也未嘗不可，但是後面要接on，即a more serious view on life.。
