在以前的學習中，我們都學過too...to...這個結構，「因為太…以至於不能…」。

比如這個句子：

The luggage is too heavy to carry.

在上面句子中，too...to...結構是取反的，但有時候too...to...結構不取反。

比如，OneRepublic的代表作Apologize中有這樣一句歌詞：

I said it's too late to apologize.

這裡我們不能翻譯成「因為太晚了，所以不去道歉」（這也太混蛋了）。

正確的翻譯應該是「道歉為時太晚」，這裡應該是late to do sth，而之前的too相當於very，表示語氣的加強。

too quick to/too eager to/too willing to

那麼too...to...這個結構到底什麼時候表示的是取反（「因為太…以至於不能…」），又什麼時候表示的是不取反（「道歉為時太晚」）？

下面我們給大家一個統一的處理方式，方便同學們以後再看到too...to...這個結構時，就不必再把它分為兩類了。

大家在翻譯too… to…結構的時候可以從後往前翻譯，

也就是「去幹什麼事太怎麼樣了」，

即to do sth. too …… 

在這樣處理了句子之後，下面的兩個句子就有了統一的翻譯：

The luggage is too heavy to carry.

去搬動這個行李箱實在是太重了（搬不動）

I said it's too late to apologize.

去道歉實在是太晚了（道歉為時已晚）

大家還遇到過哪些too...to...結構

讓你搞不清方向？
