一、下面我们来看看except有几种含义
conj.
要不是；除非 used before you mention sth that makes a statement not completely true
He is a good student except that he is occasionally careless.
他是个好学生，只是他偶而有些粗心。
prep.
1.除…外 used before you mention the only thing or person about which a statement is not true
Also he masters Russian except English.
除英语外，他也精通俄语。
v.
1.把…除外，不计 [T] to not include sb / sth
You will all be punished, I can except no one.
你们全得受罚，我一个也不饶。
2.反对，表示异议 [I] to oppose
Counsel excepted to the court's ruling.
律师反对法院的裁决。
二、词义辨析：还有哪些单词能表示“除……之外”的意思呢？
besides, but, except, except for
这些前置词或短语均含“除……之外”之意。besides着重于指另外还有。but侧重指不包括在内。except侧重于排除在外，从整体里减去。可与but换用，但语气较强。except for多用于在说明基本情况或对主要部分加以肯定，还引出相反的原因或细节，从而部分地修正前面的主要意思，含惋惜意味。
三、最后，来做个填词游戏吧
They were all there _____ me.
除了我以外他们都在那里。
