except 和except for的区别
except 和except for的区别
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 not good.
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.
except 和except for的区别都是“把...除外”的意思,前者不可以放在句首,而后者可以。
