请教NN except的用法...晕...
首先句子中有两个动词was,所以必须有连词。感觉GMAT中except通常理解作介词不作连词,所以 A, B,E排除。用excepting for+名词在句首通常表明此名词和主语是同类,这里明显the domains 和the English language不是一类事物而是和the island可比。所以选C. excepting for除...之外(被排除的概念)。
个人拙见: M岛已经有近200年英国殖民地的历史了,但英语除了在管理和教育方面有使用外,在岛上并未通用.
换个句序: The English language was never really spoken on the island except in the domains of administration and teaching.
我先选了D, 但看来还是C好点. 我觉得except 在这里是prep.
According to Longman,
1. except (prep) = except for (prep): used before the people or things that are not included in a statement.
2. excpet (verb): to not include something. [+from]
D 的缺点在于 excepting 好象是动词进行时,意思也讲得通,但一没有in连接 domain, 二没有from,如朗文所要求的那样.
1. except与except for有时可以通用,不过,一般情况下,except for可置于句首,而except则不能。如:
Everyone is here except Tom. (或:Except for Tom everyone is here.)除汤姆外,大家都到了。
2. except与except for在句中也可互换。
一般来说,否定句中用except,肯定句式可以用except for来替换。如:
This article has no blunders except a few mistakes.这篇文章除了一点小错外没有大错。
此句可改为:This article is instructive except for a few blunders. 这篇文章除了有些错误外,是有教育意义的。
不过,在前后有相称的同类词语时,应用except,否则用except for。如:
We come to school every day except Sunday. 除星期天外,我们天天上学。(句中every day与Sunday同类)
This dress is ready except for the buttons. 衣服做好了,只是钮扣未缝上。(句中ready与buttons不同类)
3、 excepting是由动词转化而来的分词介词,用法较正式,含有较强的动态意味,意为"把......除外",与except在用法上有不同之处:
A. 可用于句首,或用于not, without, always等词后;
B. 其后常常用名词或代词。如:
Bruce answered all the questions excepting the last one. 除了最后一个问题外,布鲁斯都答出来了。
Excepting Sundays, the library is open daily. 除了星期天外,图书馆天天开放。
I think we must keep improving our English not excepting those who have mastered it. 我认为我们必须不断提高我们的英语水平,对那些已掌握了英语的人也不例外。
All the people in my family go to work every day, always excepting my youngest sister. 我家所有的人每天都上班,除了我那个最小的妹妹以外。
