高中英语教材外研版中出现的表示“除了……”的介词或介词短语,其用法复杂多变,难以掌握,大多数学生分辨不清,这里将其用法和注意事项作一归纳和辨析。
1. besides和except
<1>besides指“在整体中加入一部分”,其引出比前面更加有力的论据,通常表示递加的概念,含义是肯定的。意指“除了……之外,还有……”如同with或plus(加)
①Besides half a bottle of whisky,he drank three gins and some beer. ②(2007全国Ⅱ,16)Some people choose jobs for other reasons besides money these days.
<2>except则表示一种排除关系,意指“除了……之外,不再有……”。except=without或minus(减),其后跟名词、代词、介词短语或从句。
①I get up early every day except Sunday.(星期天不包括在内)
比较这两个句子:
We all went except him.(他没有去)
We all went besides him.(他也去了)
②We know little about the man except that he is an American.
③He never comes to see me except when it rains.
<3>注意:besides用在含有否定意义的句中时,意思相当于except,besides与except可换用,例如:
No one write to me besides you.
She posted me nothing besides(或except)a card.
2. except和except for
except指“从所指的人或事物中除去(除去的和非除去的是同类事物),即从整体中除去一部分”,通常表示递减的概念,含义是否定的。except for 表示对整体主要部分的肯定和对局部的否定,说明整个基本情况后,又在细节上对主要意思作些修正,强调整体与局部的关系。前后内容不是同类,且从语气上常表示遗憾。其后一般接名词或动名词。
①I like all drinks except whisky.(I don’t like whisky.)
②(2008浙江,17)Everything was perfect for the picnic except for the weather.
③Your composition is quite excellent except for some spelling mistakes.
some spelling mistakes(除去的)和your composition(非除去的)是不同类的事物。又如:He is a good man except for hot temper.
注意:①当except用于句首时,后面往往要加上for。如:Except for this,everything is in good order.相当于Everything is in good order except this.②except for后接名词/代词,可以转化为except 从句或其他介词短语。
Eg. The climate here is good except for some rainy days.
(except when it rains;except that it sometimes rains;except on the rainy days.)
3. but
<1>表示“除了...”的意思。它与except同义,都表示递减的概念,二者在多数情况下可以互换,但用法稍有区别。如果句中有no,no one,none,nobody,nothing,all,anyone,anybody,anything,every,everyone,everybody,everything,who,that,where等否定词、不定代词或疑问词时,多用but;如果句子后面跟宾语从句时,多用except。如①(选修8,Module 1)...so don’t take any souvenirs home with you,and be careful to leave nothing but footprints. ②I had nothing in the world but a million-pound note. ③He no longer went out,except when Jane forced him.
<2>but位置的变化会引起人称代词主格,宾格的变化。如:
①No one but I (=except me)knows it.
②No one knows it but me.(=except me)
<3>but不接动名词而接不定式,有“do”时去掉符号“to”,比较下面两个句子:
I can do nothing but wait.
I had no choice but to wait.
<4>but for=without 含义有时与except for相同,但主要表示“要不是……”“如果没有……”,常用于虚拟语气,意思上相当于一个虚拟条件句,表示一种假设。例如: ①But for your help(If you hadn’t helped me),we couldn’t have carried out the plan.
②But for the atmosphere plants would die.
4. apart from
表示besides,也可以表示except或except for,还可以表示without的意思。后接名词,代词或动名词。如:
①(选修7,Module 6)Apart from providing warmth,what was fire used for?
②(2011,福建,22)Apart from good service,the restaurant offers different kinds of traditional Fujian dishes.
③Apart from the cost,it will take a lot of time.(=besides)
④The orphan had no one to take care of him apart from his uncle.(=except)
⑤The article is good apart from a few spelling mistakes.(=except for)
⑥There can be no knowledge apart from practice.(=without)
5. in addition
兼有besides和as well(as)两种含义,常用作副词;in addition to 相当于as well as,besides,apart from,常用作介词,但要注意 as well as 表示“除...之外”不那么正式。如:①(选修6,Module1)In addition,you need to know how long you should stay,and when you have to leave. ②(选修8,Module6)For children,it is a good way to explore language and have fun with words as well as to express themselves.
请看下面一道练习题:
___English,I have to study a second foreign language.
A. In addition that B. In addition
C. In addition to D. Except
解析:题中In addition to 相当于besides,表示“除了英语...还得...”,而except表示“不包括英语”;in addition为副词短语,作状语。故正确答案为C。
6. other than=except,but,apart from
都表示从总体中除去一部分,后接名词,代词或不定式。如:①(选修8,Module5)...which is believed to be the only body in the solar system other than the Earth with liquid on the surface. ②(2011,全国1,30)The form cannot be signed by anyone other than yourself. ③He never speaks to me other than to ask for something. ④English is now spoken in many countries other than England.(other than=besides) ⑤You can’t get there other than by swimming.(other than=in any other way than)
注意:下列句子中不宜用except代替other than.
(1)Your failure was due to nothing other than your own carelessness.
(2)He has no close friend other than me.
He never comes to see me other than.
