1、except | except for |except that 的区别 1. Except for a few words he didnt say anything. 2. Everyone is here except Jimmy. 从这两个句子看出区别： 1. everyone 和 Jimmy 都是人，属同类事物，用 except，再如： We go to school every day except Sunday. 这种用法表示：从整体中减除部分。 2. word 和 anything 不属于同类事物，用 except for ，再如： Your composition is go
2、od except for some spelling mistakes. composition 和 mistakes 不属于同类事物。 这种用法表示：对整体说明做细节修正。 Except that 后接从句 但在介词短语之前只能用 except，其它，所以： We go to bed before 10,except in the summer.我们除在夏天外， 10 点前睡觉。except for/that 的用法 except 除后跟名词、代词作宾语外,还可跟介词,也可跟从句。except for 后一般跟名词或名词性短语；except that 后一般跟从句，这是二者最大区别； (1
3、)except for.是“ 除了因为;要不是;除去一点外“的意思,表示“ 对一个人或事物,先做一个整体评价,然后再就局部提出一点看法“。即一部分被肯定,另一部分被否定,这就是所谓的“排除否定式 “。其判别标志是 :除去的与保留的“ 不是同类项“。例如: 1. It was dark in the city _ a few weak lights. A. except for B. except C. besides D. but for 2. Your composition is very good _ a few spelling mistakes. A. except that B.
4、except for C. besides D. beside 析:Key: 1. A 2. B。因为除去的与保留的“不是同类项“, 故选 except for。 (2)except that. 也是“除去一点外“的意思,但应注意恰当地使用引导词。若从句句意和结构完整,只需用引导词 that。例如: 1. The suit fitted him well _ the colour was a little brighter. A. except for B. except that C. except when D. besides 析:Key: B。本题题意为“ 除色彩艳了一点儿外,这套衣服
5、很适合他“, 从句 the colour was a little brighter 句意和结构完整,只需用引导词 that,故选 except that。 2. -Can you tell me all about the earthquake? -Sorry, I know nothing about it _ I read in the newspaper. A. except B. except for C. except what D. except that 析:Key: C。因从句中 read 为及物动词,且其后无宾语,故选 except what。 3. Mr. Green u
6、sually goes to work by bus _ it rains. A. besides B. except when C. except what D. beside 析:Key: B。由于 it rains 为从句,故排除 A、D,且 rains 为不及物动词,不需要宾语,故排除C。except when 意为“除了当的时候“ 。 (3)except for 与 except that 有时可互相转换。例如: 1. Your composition is very good except for a few spelling mistakes. =Your composition
7、 is very good except that there are a few spelling mistakes. 2. The village is very quiet except for some birds singing in the woods. =The village is very quiet except that there are some birds singing in the woods. except for 用于表示对主要部分的肯定和对局部的否定。它不表示同类事物之间的关系，其意思为： 1. “除了以外 “。如： Smith is a good man
8、, except for his bad temper. 史密斯除了脾气不好外，是个好人。 The movie was good except for the ending. 这部电影除了结尾之外都很好。 2. “除去为了“。如： His mother wouldnt give him any money except for books and stationery. 除了买书和文具外，妈妈不给他任何钱。 3. “如果不是“，“若非“ 。如： Except for you, I would pass the exam. 如果不是你，我就会通过考试 。 4. “except for+名词“结构
9、一般可以改写成“except+that 从句“。如： This will do except for the length.= This will do except that it is too long. 如果不是它太长的话，这会很好。 All are here except for the absence of Tina. = All are here except that Tina is absent. 除了蒂娜以外，大家都在这里。这是表达“除之外” 用于中的两个。其区别如下： 1、except ：“除之外（再没有）”,用于排除其后对象，单独用时常与 but 互换。 如： There
10、 is nobody in the hall except/but Tim. 2、except for：“ 除之外”,用于“对前述内容作修正或补充”，也可是委婉的指出问题，结构上是介词短语。如： Your composition is well written except for some spelling mistakes(除了几处拼写错误外，你的作文写的很好/你的作文写得不错，只是出了几个拼写错误）。 3、except that：“ 除之外”,用法与第二个相似，只是 that 引导从句结构，而不是介词短语。如： Your composition is well written except that there are some spelling mistakes. You can turn to me for help except when Im busy.
