是否可以理解为: Mauritius was a British colony for almost 200 years, but except (being used understood) in the domains of administration and teaching, the English language was never really spoken on the island.
不过我感到奇怪的是主句为什么不用完成时态,我记得中学语法中讲过,凡是有for 或者 since 引导的时间壮语,谓语应该用完城时: Mauritius has been a British colony for almost 200 years. Mauritius has been a British colony since 18xx. 请大家指正。
