beside与besides

beside是介词，表示“在旁边”的空间意义。【例如】We stood beside the canyon.我们站在峡谷旁边。Besides也可以是介词，但却表示抽象的“除此之外（还有）”。【例如】Besides the lecture there was a concert. 除了讲座，还举行了音乐会。/ There are three other candidates besides yourself. 除了你自己，还另外有三个人选。/ Besides being old, she was also extremely deaf. 她不但年老，而且还非常耳聋。另外，besides还可以是副词，也是“除此之外（还有）”的意思（主要用于列举理由，不可以用于列举具体事物）。【例如】I am too tired to go, and besides, it is late. 我太累，不去了，何况时间也晚了。但是，besides前面如果有否定词，“除此之外（再另加，但原先的仍保留）”与“排除在外不算”的两种意思之间的区别在此就消失了（中文的“除此之外”也同样有这样两种不同的含义）。【例如】nobody besides you and me除了你和我再也没有别人。
