單詞 “except” 和 “accept” 的拼寫都包含 “-cept”，發(fā)音也非常相似，所以不少人會(huì)將它們混淆。其實(shí)，“except” 和 “accept” 的意思大有不同?？粗鞒秩?Roy 的講解，學(xué)習(xí)辨析這兩個(gè)易混詞之間的區(qū)別。

文字稿

Hi, I'm Roy and today I'm going to tell you when we use except and when we use accept.

These words can be confusing, but they have very different meanings.

Except means 'excluding or not including'.

I love all types of film except horror films.
That means the only type of film I don't like is horror.

I don't drink coffee except the one I have in the morning.
So I only have one cup a day in the morning.

Accept means 'to say yes to something'.

Dan asked me to go for a coffee and I said yes.
I accepted Dan's offer.

You can also accept a situation that is often negative.

He accepted his ex-partner had met someone else.

I'd love to stay longer except we only have a minute.

Bye.
