except for与except的区别
(1)except表示“除去,不包括”,强调所排除的“不包括在内”,一般表示同类之间的关系,常同nothing, all, none, nobody, any等不定代词以及every连用。
例:
I'm sorry. I have nothing to pay you except some big bills.
对不起,我只带着大票面的钱,没有零钱付给你。
Everybody is down on me except you.
大家都讨厌我,惟独你不。
(2)except经常接名词、代词,也可接副词,介词短语,不带to的不定式或从句等。
例:
She looked everywhere except here.
除了这里,她到处看。
Except for the remarkably tidy kitchen, the place was a mess .
除了厨房特别干净外,这地方一片狼藉。
She was unlike him in every way except for her coal black eyes.
她除了那双乌黑的眼睛外,跟他没有一点儿相像。
(3)except for也表示“除…以外”,指对某种基本情况进行具体的细节方面的修正。它同except的区别是:except for后接的词同句子中的整体词(主语)不是同类的,指从整体中除去一个细节,一个方面;而except后接的词同整体词(主语)一般是同类,指在同类的整体中除去一个部分。
例:
I can answer all the questions except for the last one.
除了最后一题外,所有题目我都可以解答.
(4)当except用在句首时往往改用except for。
例:
There was no single person in the dark street that night except a policeman on his duty.
=Except for apoliceman on his duty,there was no single person in the dark street that night.
(5)作介词用法时的except后可接多种情况的介词短语。在这种情况下,except后的介词是不可省去的,except加介词的实际作用就相当于连词加相关的从句。
