词组 | aside from |
释义 | aside from Aside from is a compound preposition found in American English; some writers hold it to be the American equivalent of apart from (which see), but both British and American writers use apart from. • Aside from bending into a stance, which is good for most waistlines, there is considerable walking in our game —Willie Mosconi, Winning Pocket Billiards, 1965 • Aside from the members of the society, millions read the magazines involved in the debate —Géorgie Anne Geyer, Saturday Rev., 25 Dec. 1971 • ... but aside from these two teachers there was no great offering of courses at the graduate level —Samuel Flagg Bemis, The New-England Galaxy, Fall 1969 • Aside from being six feet tall, my image seemed inappropriate —Robben W. Fleming, Michigan Business Rev., July 1968 You will note that in the first two examples aside from mean "besides" and in the second two "except for." Lurie 1927 gives an example, perhaps manufactured, where the first was intended but the second could be readily understood: • Miss Robinson will enter the speaking contest and will read her selection. Aside from this, a very interesting program will be given. The example seems a bit contrived, but you can see that misunderstanding might be possible. Make your context clear. |
