中考英语词汇辨析
besides/ but/ except/ beside/ except for/ except that/ but for/ but that
Ⅰ.besides 除了还有指的是已有另加上而except 和but 除了之外没有,正好相反。如:
① I dont care for anything besides this.
除此之外,我别无所爱。
② What have you done this morning, besides reading the paper and watching TV?
除了看报和看电视之外,你今天上午还做了些什么。
Ⅱ.beside prep. 在旁边意思如其它的.大不相同。如:
① They are used to taking a walk on the path beside the the river.
他们习惯于在河边的小路上散步。
Ⅲ. but 作介词用时:除之外没有与except同意。但它着重在整体,且常用在no, all, nobody, anything, everything, everybody, everywhere 以及who, whose等词之后。后常接名词、代词或不定式,接不定式时,如果其前含有实义动词 do (除作助动词用外)的各种形式,则用动词原形(省略to)。如:
① He does nothing but laugh. 他只是大笑而已。(前有does,故用动词原形laugh.)
② Nobody was late but you. 除你之外,没有人迟到。
Ⅳ.except 语气比but强且明显。着重在除去的部分。如:
① I like all the fruits except pears.
