| 释义 | besides /bi suydz"/, adv. 1. moreover; furthermore; also: Besides, I promised her we would come. 2. in addition: There are three elm trees and two maples besides. 3. otherwise; else: They had a roof over their heads but not much besides. prep. 4. over and above; in addition to: Besides a mother he has a sister to support. 5. other than; except: There's no one here besides Bill and me. [1150-1200; ME; see BESIDE, -S1] Syn. 1. further. BESIDES, MOREOVER both indicate something additional to what has already been stated. BESIDES often suggests that the addition is in the nature of an afterthought: The bill cannot be paid as yet; besides, the work is not completed. MOREOVER is more formal and implies that the addition is something particular, emphatic, or important: I did not like the house; moreover, it was too high-priced. Usage. 4, 5. See beside. |
