核心问题
Except for his laziness, he would be a good student. A B C D
以下是《四级、六级常见错误辨析》(杭州大学出版社,1995年,p.40)对上道试题的解答:“A错,Except for→But for。
except for(除……之外),一般用于陈述语气中;but for = without; were it not for,意为‘要不是……;如果没有……’,用于虚拟语气。此句意为‘如果不懒惰,他本来可以成为一位优秀学生’。试比较:
He is a distinguished student except for his poor health. (他是个非常出色的学生, 只是身体差了一点)。”
