看到这个题目发现对于except这个词的用法还是模棱两可的。。。。 然后再次查了以前的帖子和各种词典 贴出自己的想法和疑问,希望能通过这个题目把except这个词 的用法彻底搞定了 B选项:OG解释说缺少连词thelack of a conjunction causes a comma splice. 我自己查了词典,except可以作连词,两种含义:一个是是除XX之外,另一个是要不是XXX; 关于except的疑问:那么这个B选项理解为连词不对么?我不知道except作为连词的时候引导的是什么性质的从句,如果是状语从句的话有可能就能进行省略了,except后面也就没有必要必须跟完整的句子结构了啊?
