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(xì)越好(=無論怎樣仔細(xì)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.
