题目

我知道except that后接句子,except for后加名词,但是对下面这道题有点困惑.哪位知道的,请赐教,
When I got out of the car and walked about among them,____?one old man who shook his head disapprovingly,they all began to
翻译是：当我下车走在他们中间的时候,除了一个老头不满地摇了摇头,大家都开始欢呼
（除了一个老头不满地摇了摇头,这个是句子啊,为什么不用except that而用except for呢?）

答案

因为who shook his head,是定语从句,来修饰这个老头的,所以one old man才是主体要看的,所以except for one old man.而who shook his head是说明了这个老头的状态,而与老人相对比的是,they.
