there were three more visitors ( ) me A.besides B.except

问题描述:

there were three more visitors ( ) me A.besides B.except
请说明一下原因

except 和 besides 都是前置词,都翻译为 ”除.以外“,但
except 跟 besides 意义和用法不同.
例如
“We all agreed except him.” 是说“我们都同意,只有他不同意”.
“We all agreed besides him.” 是说“我们都同意,他也同意”.
besides 还有一个意思,就是,”在…之外(还有)“ ,”另外还有“
比如:
There were three more visitors besides me
除了三个访者另外还有我
所以正确答案是 A.besides
