用法說明

How is "Besides" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Besides"?

besides doing vs besides to do

  • besides + V-ing 是標準且最常見的用法,表示「除了做…之外」。這裡的 doing 是動名詞,作為介系詞 besides 的受詞。
  • besides + to + V 在文法上被視為不標準或錯誤。besides 作為介系詞時,後面應接名詞或動名詞,而非不定詞。
  • 在非正式口語中,有時會聽到 besides to do 的用法,但在正式寫作或考試中應避免。
  • besides 用作副詞時(意為「而且」、「此外」),其後自然不會直接接動詞,因此沒有 doingto do 的問題。 EN: Besides working full-time, she volunteers at an animal shelter. 翻譯: 除了全職工作之外,她還在動物收容所當志工。

EN:What do you enjoy besides watching movies?

翻譯:除了看電影,你還喜歡做什麼?

總結建議

在表達「除了…之外」時,請一律使用 besides + V-ing 的結構,避免使用 besides to do。

易混淆對比

What is the difference between "Besides" and similar words?How to choose "Besides" vs alternatives?

besides vs beside

"besides" 表示「除了…之外還有」,用於補充額外資訊;"beside" 表示「在…旁邊」,僅指物理位置。

besides vs except

"besides" 是「包含性」的排除(除了A,還有B);"except" 是「排除性」的排除(除了A,其他都…)。

besides vs in addition to

"besides" 與 "in addition to" 意義非常接近,但 "besides" 在口語中更常見,且語意上可能帶有更強的「除了已知事實外」的暗示。

引述

在對話中,用來引述一個已經被提及或顯而易見的觀點,然後再補充另一個重點。 EN: Besides, we already agreed on the budget last week. 翻譯: 況且,我們上週就已經對預算達成共識了。

EN:Besides, everyone knows he’s the best candidate for the job.

EN:Why would I lie? Besides, you can check the records yourself.

翻譯:我幹嘛說謊?再說,你可以自己去查記錄。

停頓填充

作為對話中的停頓填充詞,給說話者一點時間思考,同時引出下一個論點或轉換話題。 EN: So, the plan is… besides, have you talked to Sarah yet? 翻譯: 所以,計畫是… 對了,你跟莎拉談過了嗎?

EN:The movie was okay. The plot was weak, though. Besides, the ending felt rushed.

翻譯:電影還行。不過劇情有點弱。而且,結尾感覺很倉促。

注意:在正式書寫(如學術論文、商業報告)中,應避免將 "besides" 用作純粹的停頓填充詞或過於口語化的轉折。建議使用更正式的連接詞,如 "furthermore"、"in addition" 或 "moreover"。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Besides"?Which "Besides" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×Besides of the cost, we also need to consider the time.

Besides the cost, we also need to consider the time.

「besides」作為介系詞時,後面直接接名詞或動名詞,不需要加「of」。加「of」是受「because of」或「in spite of」等片語影響的錯誤類推。

×I don't want to go; besides, it's too expensive.

I don't want to go; besides, it's too expensive. (Correct as is, but often confused with meaning)

學習者常誤解「besides」在此的語意。這裡的「besides」是副詞,意思是「而且、再說」,用於補充另一個(通常是更重要的)理由,並非「除了…之外」的意思。中文翻譯應為「而且」,而非「除了」。

×Who will be there besides you and I?

Who will be there besides you and me?

介系詞「besides」後面應接代名詞的受格(me, him, her, us, them),而非主格(I, he, she, we, they)。這是受中文「你和我」結構影響的常見錯誤。

×Besides to cook, she enjoys gardening.

Besides cooking, she enjoys gardening.

介系詞「besides」後面若接動詞,必須使用動名詞(V-ing)形式,不能接不定詞(to V)。

×I like all fruits besides bananas. (Intending: I dislike bananas)

I like all fruits except (for) bananas.

這是語意上的嚴重混淆。「besides」用於「包含性」的補充(「除了A,還有B」),而「except」用於「排除性」的例外(「除了A,其他都…」)。想表達「不喜歡香蕉」時,應用「except」。

×There's no one here besides.

There's no one else here. / There's no one here besides me.

「besides」作為介系詞時,必須有受詞,不能單獨用在句尾。若想表達「沒有其他人」,應使用「no one else」或明確說出「besides me/him」等。
