与except的几种用法


except 是英语中常用的一个词,在中学英语中是一个考查热点,现将其几种基本用法归纳如下:
1、except 除了(如后面用代词则为宾格)
Nobody felt anxious except him.
除了他以外,没有一个人感到焦急。
You can’t achieve anything except by working hard.
除非靠努力,否则你就会一事无成。
I looked everywhere except in the bedroom.
我到处都找到了,就是没有在卧室找。
I seldom cut a class except when I am ill.
除了生病外,我很少缺课。
2、except和besides
两者都是“除去”之意,但前者指“但并不包括”,是“排除”之意,后者指“除此之外还有”,是“外加”之意。举例如下:
There are six of us besides Tom.
除汤姆外,另外还有6人。(一共7人)
We all went home except Tom.
除汤姆外,我们全回家了。(只有汤姆一人未回家)
3、except和but
except较but“除外”的意思更明确,but多与no one、nothing、who、all、everyone等词连用,二者可互换,意思是“除…外”,“别无…”,“只有…”,“谁…”。
No one but a fool would believe it.
只有傻瓜才会相信它。
Who but he would do such a thing?
除了他以外,谁还能干出这种事来。
It is nothing but a joke。

这不过是句玩笑话。
He gets up early every day except(but) Sunday.
4、except for和except that(when)
表示理由或细节,修正前面所说的情况,意思是“只是”,“除…外”,for 后接单词,that后接句子。
Your composition is good except for a few spelling mistakes. (=Your composition is good except that there are a few spelling mistakes.)你的作文,除了少数拼写错误外,是好的。
比较:All the compositions are good except Li Hua’s.除了李华的以外所有的作文都好。
The carpet is quite satisfactory except for its price. (=The carpet is quite satisfactory except that the price is too high.地毯是很令人满意的,只是价钱太高。
My mother goes shopping every Sunday except when it rains.
我妈妈每个星期天都去购物,除了当下雨的时候。
5、except for和but for
except for的句子用陈述语气,but for的句子用虚拟语气。
Except for its temples, the place is not worth seeing.
这个地方除了它的庙宇以外,没有什么可看的。
But for its temples, the place would not be worth seeing.
要不是那些庙宇,这个地方没有什么可看的。
6、except(but)+动词不定式(可带to或不带to,当but或except之前不是“do”时,其后的不定式要带to。)
They did nothing except(but) watch TV.
他们除了看电视外,什么也不做。
