在这些动词do(does/did/done /doing/to do)在but, except, save, than, as等词后,这条规则同样适用。
例如:
He did nothing but laugh.
他只是笑。
What could he do but take back what he had said?
他除了收回他说的话以外,还有别的什么办法?
当but前的谓语结构是do时,或者定语从句中有do时,but后面不用to
There is nothing to do but stay here.
I have no choice but to stay here.
1、We had no choice but to do what we were asked.

2、You have no choice but to do the work.
你除了做这项工作没有别的选择。
3、But to do so, you must reach the poor.
但要做到这一点,就必须覆盖贫穷人群。
