except,besides,except for用法的关联和区别
1.作介词用法时,这三个词都有"除…之外"的含义,但except常与do/does/did/have/has/hadnothing等词形成搭配用法,或者与全部肯定词all、everything、everyone等连用,或者与全部否定词nothing、nobody等连用,因此except加宾语作介词"除…之外"时常表示从整体中剔除一部分;而besides作"除…之外"时则表示"另外附加"的含义,相当于"in addition to"。试比较下列例句:
1)He did not hing except watch TV yesterday.
2)He said nothing except to smile just now.
3)All the students took at rip except Tom yesterday.
4)We need 3 more persons to finish the job besides/inaddition to us two.
2.作介词用法时的except后可接多种情况的介词短语。在这种情况下,except后的介词是不可省去的,except加介词的实际作用就相当于连词加相关的从句。例如:
1)The weather is fine today except in the northwest.此句相当于:
The weather is fine today except that it is in the northwest.
2)His mother never takes any exercise except on the dance floor.此句相当于:
His mother never takes any exercise except that she has adance on the floor.
需要强调的是except与exceptfor的用法区别:
1)Except后排除的内容与主语往往是同一类的,而exceptfor后所排除的内容与主语往往不是同一类的。例如,试比较:
All the buildings are excellent except this one.
All the buildings are excellent except for their location或者All the buildings are excellent except that the place on which the buidings are built is notgood.
2)当except用在句首时往往改用exceptfor。例如:
There was no single person in the dark street that night except apoliceman on his duty.此句相当于:
Except for apoliceman on his duty,there was no single person in the dark street that night.
3.相当于连词用法的except与相当于连词用法的besides的区别仍然保持它们作介词用法的含义。试比较下列例句:
1)Tom is a good student except that he is careless.此句相当于:Tom is a goods tudent except for his carelessness.
2)Tom seldom comes late to school except when it rains hard.此句相当于:Tom seldom comes late to school except on a heavily rainy day.

besides与except
前者表示”除...以外,还有...”;后者表示”从整体中除去...”
besides和except两个词语,汉语可以用"除了"一种形式来表达,但汉语的"除外"既可以指包括,又可以指排除,在这两种不同的情况下,英语就得分别用两个介词来表示:
如下面的例子
WeallwenttherebesidesJohn.除了约翰我们也去了那里。(即约翰去了,我们也去了)
WeallwentthereexceptJohn.除了约翰我们都去了那里。(即我们都去了,但约翰没去)
besides时指除了...还有,包括上文提到的
two girls went shopping besides mary
除了玛丽还有俩个女孩去购物
except不包括前文提到的
two girls went shopping except mary
有俩个女孩去购物(没有玛丽)
besides是同种类型相比较,而except是不同类型相比较的。
