1、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 dodoesdidhavehashadnothing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
