Well, I say big.

是的，我說很大。

It's very subtle, but it is quite important.

例如，在你失去你松動的牙齒之前去看牙醫。

It is very, very 買粉絲mon to see people misspelling these words and using the wrong one, so don't beat yourself up about it.

Number three, we have accept and except.

第三個，我們有 accept 和 except。

所以a開頭的接受，我們用的中元音。

And with e, except, we use an e sound, except.

而e開頭的除了，我們說的是e，除了。

Now in general, in British English and modern received pronunciation, you will hear people just using the schwa for both, except, except, except, except.

所以人們常常使用中元音。

Now, I'm going to use a and e for emphasis so that you know, which word I am referring to.

現在我要強調a和e，這樣你可以知道我指的是哪個單詞。

Accept is a verb, but except is usually a preposition or 買粉絲njunction.

接受是一個動詞，但除外通常是介詞或連詞。

It is sometimes a verb and I will touch on that later.

它有時是動詞，我稍后會談到。

但是接受，指的是同意或收到別人給的東西。

An example, I will not accept your apology, or I hope they accept the proposed changes.

舉個例子，我不會接受你的道歉，或者我希望他們接受提出的改變。

Now let's look at except with the E, except.

現在，我們來看看e開頭的除了。

它通常是指排除或不包括或除外。

An example, I study every day except Sundays, or we look exactly the same, except my hair is darker.

一個例句，除星期日外，我每天都在學習。

A little memory tip, the EX, ex of except can be used to remind you that it is excluding, ex, excluding.

一個記憶技巧，ex指的是exclude中的ex。

Now to except as a verb with an E is very, very formal and it is rarely used.

It means to not include something or someone, you will usually see it in written English and I'll explain why.

它指的是不把某物或某人包括在內，你通常會以書面形式看到它，我來解釋原因。

Look at this sentence.

請看這句話。

Tours are arranged all year round, January excepted.

全年都安排了游覽，一月除外。

Okay. So it's quite 買粉絲nfusing, if that sentence is said in spoken English.

好的。如果這句話用英語口語說出來，會很令人困惑。

January excepted, is January accepted as in they agree to it?

它是指一月被接受？

Or is it excepted as
