語法難點精析之二：too...to 結(jié)構(gòu)表示肯定含義的情況
【too...to 結(jié)構(gòu)表示肯定含義的情況】
我們知道too...to結(jié)構(gòu)一般表示否定含義,意為"太...以致于不能"eg:He is too old to work.
但too...to在下列情況下卻表示肯定含義:
（1)當(dāng)too前或to前有否定詞構(gòu)成雙重否定時.
eg:English is not too difficult to learn. 英語并不太難學(xué).
He is too wise not to see that. 他很聰明,不會不懂這一點.
�。�2)當(dāng)too后是glad, pleased, happy, delighted, satisfied, ready, willing, kind, apt, good, true, easy, near, careful, well, early, delicious, eager, anxious等形容詞或副詞時.
eg:They are too anxious to leave.
他們急于離開.
He is too ready to help others.
他總是樂于助人.
與這些詞連用時,too前還常加上only,all,but,just,simply等副詞,意思不變,因為這些詞加上too后與very同義.
eg:I'm only too glad to see you .
見到你非常高興.
They are but too pleased to hear the news.
他們聽到這個消息,非常高興.
�。�3)與cannot連用時.
eg:You cannot be too careful(=You can never be careful enough) to do your homework.
你做作業(yè)越仔細越好(=無論怎樣仔細也不過分).
�。�4)當(dāng)不定式在句中作定語或真正的主語時.
eg:There are too many problems to be solved.
有很多問題有待解決.
It is too much to say that he is a fool.
