二 except for用于表示对主要部分的肯定和对局部的否定。它不表示同类事物之间的关系，其意思为：
1. "除了……以外"。如：

2. "除去为了……"。如：

3. "如果不是"，"若非"。如：
Except for you, I would pass the exam. 如果不是你，我就会通过考试。
4. "except for+名词"结构一般可以改写成"except+that从句"。如：
This will do except for the length.= This will do except that it is too long. 如果不是它太长的话，这会很好。
All are here except for the absence of Tina. = All are here except that Tina is absent. 除了蒂娜以外，大家都在这里。
三、 except与except for的互换
1. except与except for有时可以通用，不过，一般情况下，except for可置于句首，而except则不能。如：
Everyone is here except Tom. (或：Except for Tom everyone is here.)除汤姆外，大家都到了。
2. except与except for在句中也可互换。
一般来说，否定句中用except，肯定句式可以用except for来替换。如：
This article has no blunders except a few mistakes.这篇文章除了一点小错外没有大错。
此句可改为：This article is instructive except for a few blunders. 这篇文章除了有些错误外，是有教育意义的。
不过，在前后有相称的同类词语时，应用except，否则用except for。
