All four mean 'also'. Also is neutral and common. Too is informal, used at the end of a clause. Besides is formal, opening a sentence to add a point. Likewise is formal, stressing the same action mentioned. Not covered: too as 'excessive', besides as 'except'.
这几个词在表示“也、此外”这一附加意义时意思相近,但正式程度、语气和句中位置有所不同:also最中性常用,too更口语化且常放在句末,besides更正式,常用来引出补充的理由,likewise强调“同样地做某事”,语气也更正式。这里不比较too表示“过于”的用法,也不比较besides作介词表示“除……之外”的用法。
