词语用法

adv. (副词)

1. too的基本意思是“也”“还”“而且”,用于肯定句,否定句用either。too通常位于句末,其前的逗号可有可无,在书面语中,可位于句中,这时其前后一般应有逗号,在美式英语里,too可用于句首,其后必须有逗号。
2. too也可作“太”“过于”“过分”解,修饰形容词或副词,与动词不定式连用时构成too...to结构,以肯定形式表示否定意义,译作“太…以至不能”。但在下面的情况中too...to结构不表示否定意义:①如果too后的形容词是anxious,apt,easy,eager,kind,glad,ready,willing,delighted等, too相当于very, extremely, particularly(很,大,非常),动词不定式不与too呼应而是修饰形容词,因而表示肯定意义; ②too前有only,but,all等词时,便没有否定的意思; ③too前如有not, never的too...to结构不表示否定意义, not, never否定谓语动词,构成双重否定,因而表示肯定意义,作“并不(太)…所以能…”解; ④如不定式前有not时too...not to结构也不表示否定意义,是双重否定表示肯定意义,作“太…(很、非常)…不会〔能〕不…”解; ⑤如果该结构中有两个动词不定式,那么前一个用来修饰形容词,表示肯定意义,后一个用来修饰副词too,表示结果,表否定意义。
3. too作“非常,很”解时,常用于口语中,相当于very。
4. too不能用very修饰,但可以用a little, a bit, rather, a lot, much 或 far 等来修饰。
5. too可用于“too＋ adj. ＋a／an＋ n ”句型中。

词义辨析

adv. (副词)

much too, too much

• 这两个短语构成相同,顺序不同,其意思和用法的区别是:much too之后跟形容词、副词,用来加强语气; too much中的中心词是much, too在任何情况下都修饰much,之后可跟不可数名词,可单独使用,也可接of短语或代词,还可放在句尾修饰动词。例如:
• The trams are much too slow.电车太慢。
• There is too much noise here.这里的噪音太厉害。
• We're having too much wet weather.我们这里下雨的日子太多。
• We have already taken up too much of your valuable time.我们占用了你许多的宝贵时间。
• The room is big, too much so for a child.这个房间对一个小孩来说太大了。
• He talked too much.他讲得太多了。

too, also, as well, besides, either, moreover

• 这组词(组)都有“也,此外,还有”的意思。其区别是：
• also一般用于肯定句,有强调意味,位于主谓语之间,即实义动词之前,助动词之后; too只用于肯定句中,一般位于句末,比also更口语化; either一般只用于否定句,多位于句末; as well和too一样多用于口语,放在句末; besides与moreover词义基本相同,但moreover后面所叙述的,通常比前面所叙述更为重要或更深入一步,在词序方面, moreover往往用于句首,另外, moreover是较为正式的用语。例如:
• He also asked to go.他也要去。
• I can also do it.我也能干那个活。
• English is not easy, and French is not easy either.英语不容易,法语也不容易。
• He is a teacher, and a writer as well.他是个教师,也是个作家。
• I don't like those shoes; besides, they're too expensive.那双鞋我不喜欢,而且也太贵。
• I don't like skating; moreover, the ice is too thin.我不想去溜冰,再说冰层也太薄。
• The Opposition have consistently accused the Government of corruption.Moreover, they have named names.反对党一直在指责政府腐败,而且是指名道姓的。

too在句中的位置不同则引起句子意思的不同。试比较:

• I have seen this film, too.
• 这部影片我也看过。
• (别的影片看过,这部也看过)
• I, too, have seen this film.
• 我也看过这部影片。
• (别人看过,我也看过)

also，too，as well，either，likewise

• 这些词均含“也”之意。
• also比too正式一些，语气较重，只用于肯定句，一般紧靠动词。
• too语气较轻，多用于口语，在肯定句中使用，通常位于句末。
• as well一般不用否定句，通常放在句末，强调时可放在句中。
• either用于否定句，放在句末，之前加逗号。
• likewise是书面语用词。

too，very

• 这两个副词均可表示“大，很”之意。
• too指超过了承受能力或程度，即程度加到了不适当的地步。
• very用于加强程度，可修饰褒义词和贬义词。

常见错误

adv. (副词)

1. 这箱子太重搬不起来。

   误 This box is too heavy to lift it.

   正 This box is too heavy to be lifted.

2. 这东西你拿,可能太重了吧?

   误 Will this be too heavy for you to carry it?

   正 Will this be too heavy for you to carry?

   析 在too...to...的句子里,如果主语和宾语是同一物,则宾语不必重复。

3. 这孩子太小不能上学。

   误 The child is too young not to go to school.

   正 The child is too young to go to school.

4. 太热了,睡不着。

   误 It is too hot not to sleep.

   正 It is too hot to sleep.

   析 在too...to...的结构中,动词不定式是以肯定形式表示否定意义,所以不能在不定式前再加not。

5. 你对我真是太好了。

   误 You are too much kind to me.

   正 You are much too kind to me.

6. 电车太慢。

   误 The trams are too much slow.

   正 The trams are much too slow.

   析 用于加强语气时须用much too,其后跟形容词或副词。

7. 我不喜欢咖啡,我也不太喜欢茶。

   误 I don't like coffee, and I don't much like tea, too.

   正 I don't like coffee, and I don't much like tea, either.

8. 我也没看过这部片子。

   误 I haven't seen this film, too.

   正 I haven't seen this film, either.

   析 too和either都表示“也”,但too只用于肯定句中,在否定句中必须用either。

9. 雨下得太大,他们都回不了家。

   误 It rained too heavily that they could not go home.

   正 It rained so heavily that they could not go home.

   析 在“too+形容词〔副词〕”后面不能与that从句连用。如用that从句, too就必须改成so。

10. 他是好心人,不会拒绝的。

    误 He is too kind person to refuse.

    正 He is too kind a person to refuse.

    析 当too与一个形容词和一个单数名词连用时,名词前面必须带不定冠词,即“too+形容词+a/an+名词”,名词前没有不定冠词就不能用这个结构。

11. 对我来说,这汤太咸。

    误 The soup's very too salty for me.

    正 The soup's far too salty for me.

12. 这根绳子有点儿太短了。

    误 The rope is quite too short.

    正 The rope is a little too short.

    析 too不能与very, quite, fairly, pretty等副词连用,表示too的程度; 可以使用much, far, a little, a lot等来修饰too。

13. 他太小,自己还不能穿衣。

    误 He is young enough to dress himself.

    正 He is too young to dress himself.

    析 enough和too后都可以接不定式作结果状语,但意思不同。too...to...意为“太…以至于不…”,含有否定意义; ... enough to 意为“足以…干…”。
