婚禮上總是少不了這樣「萬」聽不厭的戳心誓詞：Through good times and bad, I will always be there right _______ you.” 咦～～是 beside 還是 besides？讓我來說分明！
▍beside (prep) 在 … 旁邊 = next to
▶ 例 1：我家狗仔喜歡坐在我旁邊。或許在我身邊他覺得更安全些。
My dog likes sitting beside me. Maybe it feels safer around me.
▍besides (adv) 除了…以外也… = in addition
(prep) 除了…以外也… = in addition to
▶ 例 1：規律運動幫助我減重。除此以外，運動也提升了我的活力。
Regular exercise helps me with weight loss. Besides, it also increases my energy.
= Regular exercise helps me with weight loss. In addition / Moreover / Furthermore / What’s more, it also increases my energy.
註解：句中的 besides 為「副詞」，句型架構為：Besides, S + V。
▶ 例 2：除了劇烈頭痛以外，你還有什麼其他症狀？
Besides a severe headache, what other symptoms are you experiencing?
= In addition to a severe headache, what other symptoms are you experiencing?
註解：句中的 besides 為「介系詞」，後方搭配「名詞」a headache。
