雖然 “beside” 和 “besides” 在拼寫上只差一個(gè)字母 “s”,但它們的意思和用法卻完全不同。它們的不同點(diǎn)具體是什么?在本期 “一分鐘英語(yǔ)” 視頻中,主持人 Phil 介紹這兩個(gè)看似相近,實(shí)則不同的詞語(yǔ)的用法。
Hi, I'm Phil, and I'm going to tell you the difference between beside and besides.
That's one small letter, but it's quite a big difference.
Beside (with no 's') is a preposition, and we usually use it to talk about physical position.
So you can say: Put the chair beside the table.
Or: Come and sit beside me.
It's like a more formal version of 'next to'.
Now, besides (with an 's') is either a preposition or an adverb, and is often used to add information.
Besides knowing grammar well, you need to have a good vocabulary.
You should do something else besides studying.
Here, it's like 'as well as'.
As an adverb, it's often used to add a more important or stronger point.
I'm going to practise now because I've got time and besides, I need to!
It's like a less formal version of 'moreover'.
So, besides remembering that beside is for physical position, remember that besides is for adding information.
1 “Beside” 是介詞,表物理方位 “在…旁邊”,相當(dāng)于更正式一點(diǎn)的 “next to”。
Put the chair beside the table.
Come and sit beside me.
The cinema is beside the park.
2 “Besides” 作介詞用時(shí),意思為 “除了…之外,還/且”,類似于 “as well as”。
Besides knowing grammar well, you need to have a good vocabulary.
You should do something else besides studying.
Besides enjoying reading, she loves playing football.
3?“Besides” 作副詞用時(shí),意思為 “此外,況且”,通常用來(lái)添加更重要或更強(qiáng)烈的觀點(diǎn),相當(dāng)于不那么正式的 “moreover”。
I'm going to practise now because I've got time and besides, I need to!
I want to go and lie down. Besides, I have a headache.
I don't want to drive now. Besides, it's really dark.
