这里可以用 except
如果except修饰一个名词,一般说来两者可以互换,比如说你句子中的everything.
但在某些情况下只能用expect for不能用except
比如说
(1) The room was entirely empty except for Morris.
这里用except Morris就不太通.
或者
(2）The bus was empty except for me
用except me也不通.
这种情况因为except for Morris（me)在这里是修饰前面那个陈述句的,换的话句子不通.
except for Morris修饰the room was entirely empty
except for me 修饰the bus was empty
比较简单的判断方法是用but在句子中替代except/except for,可以的话就可互换
everything is good but the weather. 可以
the room was entirely empty but Morris. 不可以
the bus is empty but me. 不可以
还有一种方法,你把句子中except/except for的位置挪一下,挪到它所修饰的那个词旁.
everything except the weather is good. 可以
the room except Morris was entirely empty. 不可以
the bus except me was empty. 不可以
