摘要 : 英語中有許多瑣碎知識頗難記憶,但是我們可以根據其漢語意義和諧音等,把這些語法、句法、篇章結構等知識編成有意思的速記口訣,讓我們輕鬆又牢固地記住他們。
口訣 : A Green Whip幫你巧記
解讀: A green whip (「一根綠色的鞭子」)可以幫你記住與肯定含義的too…to結構連用的形容詞和過去分詞, 即 : apt (anxious), glad, ready, easy, eager, nervous, willing, happy, inclined, pleased等。(注:即以上述單詞的第一個字母組成「a green whip」) 例如 :
He was too eager to know the result of the exams.他急於想知道考試的結果。/The woman is too ready to speak.這女人太多嘴多舌。(另外, only/all/but too…to…也表示肯定含義。)
點津:我們知道too...to結構一般表示否定含義,意為&34;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too前或to前有否定詞構成雙重否定時. eg:English is not too difficult to learn. 英語並不太難學.
He is too wise not to see that. 他很聰明,不會不懂這一點。
(2)當too後是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. 他們急於離開. He is too ready to help others. 他總是樂於助人.
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後與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. 你做作業越仔細越好(=無論怎樣仔細也不過分)。(4)當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.
