副詞too的用法

英語副詞too的用法看上去簡單.但其用於固定句式或否定句中意義則有較大差異.本文詳細解釋too的用法,並分析其在不同句式中的應用,同時指出too在該情況下的正確翻譯.下面是小編整理的一些關於副詞too的用法總結， 希望讓大家更好地認識to這個單詞，提高英語水平。

　　一、單個副詞too作修飾詞

1. 意爲"也;並且;還"時,在肯定句中常位於句末(口語中,逗號常可省略)。有時爲了避免意思的模糊不清,常置於被修飾詞的後面。如:

She plays the piano, and sings, too.

You, too, may have a try.

注意: 否定句中,表示"也不"之意時,應用either,不能用too。如:

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

2. 意爲"太;過分(度)"時,在句中修飾形容詞、副詞。如:

He is driving too fast. It's dangerous.

　　二、副詞too與其它詞一起構成短語作修飾詞

1. 置於副詞much(a little)之後,構成 "much(a little) too...",後面常接形容詞或副詞,意爲"實在太……;有點兒太……"。如:

This shirt is a little too large for my daughter.

2. 置於形容詞much, many, little, few之前,構成 "too many(few)+複數名詞,too much(little)+不可數名詞" 結構,意爲"太多(少)……"。如:

We have too many things to do at present.

注意: too many(much, few, little)也可作名詞短語,在句中作主語或賓語。如:

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

3. 與不定式to do(not to do)連用,構成 " do(not to do) sth.",意爲"太……以至於不(以至於不會不)……"。如:

He is too old to work for a living.

He is too excited to speak.

他太激動了，說不出話來。

---- Can I help you ? 需要我幫忙嗎?

---- Well, I'm afraid the box is too heavy for you to carry, but thank you all the same.　不用了。這箱子太重，恐怕你搬不動。謝謝您。

注意:結構中,當too修飾的形容詞是ready, glad, pleased這些詞時,無否定的意思。如:

Lei Feng is too ready to help others. 雷鋒很喜歡幫助別人。

4. 當too 前面有only, all, but,quite 時，意思是："非常…;實在太...;簡直太..." 等於very。如：

I'm only too pleased to be able to help you. 我非常高興能幫助你。

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. 我們將非常高興再次收到你的來信。

5. 如在too前有否定詞，則整個句子用否定詞表達肯定， too 後那個詞表達一種委婉含義，意 爲"不太"。

It's never too late to mend.　(諺語)

改過不嫌晚。
