1). other than 除了；
Other than, except, apart from, besides, but 辨析：
1. except和besides都可解作“除……之外” 但含義不同。
except 表示“從所提到的人或事物中除去，即從整體中除去一部分”，表示遞減的概念，含義是否定的。
besides表示“除了……之外，還有……”，指“在整體中加入一部分”，表示遞加的概念，含義是肯定的。
試比較：
①We all went except him. 除他之外，我們都去了。(他沒有去)
②We all went besides him. 除他之外，我們大家也都去了。(他也去了)
(1)besides常與other／more／else等詞連用 ，except常與all／every／everyone／none／nobody／everything／nothing等總括詞連用。
eg. He had other people to take care of besidesme.
All the students in Class One went to the cinema except Li Ping.
(2)若句中沒有實義動詞do的某種形式，except后接動詞不定式，而besides后接動詞的-ing形式。
eg.I had no choice except to obey／besides obeying his order.
(3)若句中有實義動詞do的某種形式，二者后面都可以接動詞原形。
eg.She has nothing to do except／besides go with him.
(4)二者后面都可以接從句。
eg. ①Besides that he explained the theory he gave us some examples.
②He is a good student except that he sometimes comes late to school.
(5)except后面可接for(構成短語except for)或其他介詞短語，而besides不能。
except for主要有三層含義：
①表示對整體主要部分的肯定和對局部的否定，起部分修正主要意思的作用。
eg.Your composition is quite excellent except for several spelling mistakes.
②表示非同類事物進行比較。
eg. The street is empty except for several cars.
③置于句首，表達except的含義。
eg. Except for this, everything is in order.
except for后接名(代)詞，可以轉移為except＋從句或其他介詞短語。
eg.The climate here is good except for some rainy days.(except when it rains；except that it sometimes rains；except on the rainy days)
注意：二者用于否定句時含義相同，意思是一樣的。
eg. He did nothing besides (＝except) this.
除這件事外，他什么事也沒做。
2. apart from兼有besides和except for兩種含義，后接名詞、代詞或動名詞。
3. but含義與except相同，都表示遞減的概念，二者在多數情況下可以互換，但用法稍有區別。
①except可以代替but，但but并不一定都可以代替except，如果句中有no、all、nobody、who、where等不定代詞或疑問詞時，多用but；后跟賓語從句時，多用except。
②but for含義有時與except for相同，但主要表示“要不是……”，常用于虛擬句，表示一種假設。
③but位置的變化會引起人稱代詞主、賓格的變化。
No one but I (＝except me) knows it.
No one knows it but me (＝except me).
4. other than含義與except／but相同，都表示從總體中除去一部分，后接名詞、代詞或不定式。
eg. In that case there is nothing you can do other than wait. (2001年上海春季高考題)
