. besides,except,but辨析
三者都可以用作介词。
(1)用于肯定句时,except/but意为“除……外(不再有)”;besides意为“除……外(还有)”。
请比较:All of them have seen the film except/but Wu Dong.
All of them have seen the film besides Wu Dong.
(2)except后接名词、代词、动词-ing或不定式时,可以与but互换;except后接副词、介词短语时,一般不能用but替换。
3. because of,owing to,due to,as a result of,thanks to辨析
这些短语都可以表示原因,但用法不尽相同。

(2)owing to由于,因为,在句中通常作状语,其所引导的短语必须是修饰全句的,严格地讲,置于句末时应用逗号和主句隔开,而because of 则不用。
