语法复习二十：介词

　　8、in the end, at the end of, by the end of：in the end作最后、终于解，可单独使用，后不接介词of；at the end of 表示在末梢，到尽头，既可指时间，也可以指地上或物体。不可单独使用；by the end of 作在结束时，到末为止解，只能指时间。不可单独使用。如：In the end they reached a place of safety./ At the end of the road stands a beautiful garden./ They decided to have an English evening at the end of this week./ by the end of last month he had finished the novel.

　　9、表示关于的about 和on：两者都有关于的意思，不过前者为一般用词，而后者为较正式的论述。如：He came to tell me about something important./ He wrote a book on science.

　　10、between, among：一般说来，between表示两者之间，among用于三者或三者以上的中间。如：You are to sit between your father and me./ He is always happy among his classmates.

　　注意：但有时说的虽然是三个以上的人或东西，如果强调的是两两相互间接关系，适用于between。如：Agreements were made between the different countries. 在谈到一些事物或一组事物，而把它们视为分居两边时用between。如：The little valley lies between high mountains.。在谈事物间的差别时，总是用between。如：They dont know the difference between wheat, oats and barley.

　　11、besides, except, but, except for：besides指除了还有，再加上。如：All went out besides me.；except指除了，减去什么，不能放在句首。如：All went out except me.；but 与except意思近似，表示除了外经常用在no, all, nobody, anywhere, everything等和其他疑问词后面。如：I never saw him reading anything but the newspaper.；except for表示如无就，只是表明理由细节。如：His diary is good except for a few spelling mistakes.。
