2 кроме
Русское кроме употребляется как в положительной, так и отрицательной ситуации. В английском языке эти две ситуации требуют разных слов.1. besides — кроме, кроме того, вдобавок, в дополнение к чему-либо, сверх того, к тому же ( указывает на добавление к уже упомянутому): What do you know besides that? — Что вы знаете кроме этого? There were four people besides you. — Там было еще четверо кроме вас. Who came besides you? — Кто еще пришел кроме вас? What can you add besides this? — Что вы можете добавить к тому, что уже сказали? Не was very nervous and besides there was nobody he could turn to for help. — Он очень нервничал, и вдобавок ему не к кому было обратиться за помощью.2. except — кроме, исключая, за исключением (указывает на изъятие, исключение): Everybody was there except my brother. — Все были там, кроме моего брата. Everybody was there except you. — Все кроме вас были там. I like all vegetables except carrots. — Я люблю все овощи, кроме моркови. I can see you any day except Sunday. — Я могу с вами встретиться в любой день, но не в воскресенье./Я могу с вами встретиться в любой день кроме воскресенья. You can mention everybody except me. — Ты можешь упоминать всех кроме меня. -
