燕妮分享

  英语副词too的用法看上去简单.但其用于固定句式或否定句中意义则有较大差异.本文详细解释too的用法,并分析其在不同句式中的应用,同时指出too在该情况下的正确翻译.下面是小编整理的一些关于副词too的用法总结, 希望让大家更好地认识to这个单词,提高英语水平。

  副词too的用法

  一、单个副词too作修饰词

  1. 意为"也;并且;还"时,在肯定句中常位于句末(口语中,逗号常可省略)。有时为了避免意思的模糊不清,常置于被修饰词的后面。如:

  She plays the piano, and sings, too.

  You, too, may have a try.

  注意: 否定句中,表示"也不"之意时,应用either,不能用too。如:

  If he doesn't go, I won't either.

  2. 意为"太;过分(度)"时,在句中修饰形容词、副词。如:

  He is driving too fast. It's dangerous.

  二、副词too与其它词一起构成短语作修饰词

  1. 置于副词much(a little)之后,构成 "much(a little) too...",后面常接形容词或副词,意为"实在太……;有点儿太……"。如:

  This shirt is a little too large for my daughter.

  2. 置于形容词much, many, little, few之前,构成 "too many(few)+复数名词,too much(little)+不可数名词" 结构,意为"太多(少)……"。如:

  We have too many things to do at present.

  注意: too many(much, few, little)也可作名词短语,在句中作主语或宾语。如:

  Too many of the trees have been cut down these years.

  3. 与不定式to do(not to do)连用,构成 "too...to do(not to do) sth.",意为"太……以至于不(以至于不会不)……"。如:

  He is too old to work for a living.

  He is too excited to speak.

  他太激动了,说不出话来。

  ---- Can I help you ? 需要我帮忙吗?

  ---- Well, I'm afraid the box is too heavy for you to carry, but thank you all the same. 不用了。这箱子太重,恐怕你搬不动。谢谢您。

  注意:too...to结构中,当too修饰的形容词是ready, glad, pleased这些词时,无否定的意思。如:

  Lei Feng is too ready to help others. 雷锋很喜欢帮助别人。

  4. 当too 前面有only, all, but,quite 时,意思是:"非常…;实在太...;简直太..." 等于very。如:

  I'm only too pleased to be able to help you. 我非常高兴能帮助你。

  He was but too eager to get home. 他非常想回家。

  We shall be only too pleased to hear from you again. 我们将非常高兴再次收到你的来信。

  5. 如在too前有否定词,则整个句子用否定词表达肯定, too 后那个词表达一种委婉含义,意 为"不太"。

  It's never too late to mend. (谚语)

  改过不嫌晚。
