核心畫面

One way to hold this phrase: a group is standing together, and you reach in and move one of them to the side — apart. The phrase does that same move in a sentence: it lifts one thing out of the main statement and sets it down next to it. What happens next is what splits the two meanings. Sometimes the thing is set aside because it does not belong with the rest, and sometimes it is set aside so that something else can be added beside it.

可以想成:一群人站在一起,你伸手把其中一個挪到旁邊去——那就是 apart 的畫面。這個片語在句子裡做的是同一個動作更多收起可以想成:一群人站在一起,你伸手把其中一個挪到旁邊去——那就是 apart 的畫面。這個片語在句子裡做的是同一個動作:把一樣東西從主要的說法裡拎出來,放到旁邊。接下來發生什麼事,決定了它是哪一個意思。有時候挪到旁邊是因為它不算在內;有時候挪到旁邊,是為了在它旁邊再擺上一件新的。所以判斷的關鍵不在這兩個字,而在後半句。

Two branches

挪到旁邊:這個不算

被挪出去的那一個不算在整體裡,所以前面的話對其他人全部成立。

preposition · B1

Used to take one thing out of a statement that would otherwise be true of everything or everyone: you say what is true, then name the one part that does not fit.

除了…以外(都…)

挪到旁邊:再擺一件上去

一樣是挪到旁邊,但這次不是要排除它,而是要在它旁邊再放一件新的事。

preposition · B2

Used to add something to what has already been said: the first thing is true, and this is true too. It often comes as quite apart from when the speaker wants to say there is a further and usually bigger point.

除了…之外(還有)
