3.I’m free every day except today. 除了今天我每天都空。
在英语中,besides,but和 except作为介词,都有“除……之外”的意思。besides是“除……之外,还有……”是肯定的;而except和but是“除……之外,没有……”是否定的。在否定句中,besides可以和 except,but同义。与but相比,except所含“除外”的意味更明确,语气也更强烈。例如:
(1)All came back besides Kate.除了凯特已回来,其他所有人也回来了。
(2)All came back except/ but Kate.除了凯特,全都回来了。(意思是凯特还没有回来)
(3)I don't want anything but / except this.除了这个,我什么都不要
(4)We go to school everyday except Sunday.除了星期天,我们每天都上学。
4. What does the teacher say?
She says that she will leave a message on the headmaster’s desk.

I hear she will be back in an hour.
He said she lived with her mother.
He told me that the sun is the biggest of the three.
