Except is used to introduce the only thing or person that a statement does not apply to. It's often followed by 'for' (except for). 'Except' can function as a preposition, conjunction, or verb (formal: to exclude). Note the difference from 'accept' (to receive or agree).

「except」用于介绍唯一不适用于某陈述的事物或人。常后接「for」（except for）。「except」可以用作介词、连词或动词（正式用法：排除）。注意与「accept」（接受或同意）的区别。

Except se usa para introducir la única cosa o persona a la que no se aplica una declaración. A menudo va seguido de «for» (except for). «Except» puede funcionar como preposición, conjunción o verbo (formal: excluir). Note la diferencia con «accept» (recibir o aceptar).

「except」は、ある文が当てはまらない唯一のものや人を紹介するために使われます。しばしば「for」が続きます（except for）。「except」は前置詞、接続詞、または動詞（フォーマル：除外する）として機能します。「accept」（受け取る、同意する）との違いに注意してください。

'Except'는 어떤 진술이 적용되지 않는 유일한 것이나 사람을 소개할 때 사용됩니다. 'for'가 뒤에 오는 경우가 많습니다(except for). 전치사, 접속사, 또는 동사(격식체: 제외하다)로 기능할 수 있습니다. 'accept'(받아들이다, 동의하다)와의 차이에 주의해야 합니다.
