to too英语词汇的区别
To和too这两个词是常见的容易混淆的单词,但它们在用法和含义方面有很大的不同。以下是小编为大家精心整理的to too英语词汇的区别,欢迎大家参考!
To可以作为介词使用:
We took the train to London.
我们乘坐这趟车去伦敦。
To也可以与动词连用作为动词短语的一部分:
I would like to see you soon.
我想在不久之后去见你。
Too可以用来描述某事过量,可以意为“太;过度”
You’re driving too fast.
你开得太快了。
Too也可意为“也”,可替换“also”或者“as well”
I would like some dinner too.
我也想吃晚饭。
Of course,neither to nor too should be confused with two,the number between one and three.
当然,to和too都与two有不同的含义,two表示2,一和三之间的数字。
to的三种用法:
用于相对或针对:
句式:be+strange、common、new、familiar、peculiar、distinct、sensitive、immune、vulnerable、indispensable+to。例句:Air is indispensable to life。
用于对比或比较:
表示一些先后顺序的形容词,如:second、subsequent、next、preliminary、preparatory。例句:Subsequent to the war,they returned to their hometown。
以ior结尾的形容词后面接to表示比较,如:superior、inferior、prior、senior、junior。例句:The quarrel happende prior to my arrivel。
一些本身就含有比较或比拟意思的形容词,如:equal、similar、equipment、analogous。例句:A is similar to B in many ways。
用于修饰关系:
表示回复,反应意思的词,如:answer to question,solution to problem,response to inquiry,reaction to proposal,reply to letter。
表示建筑构件的词,如:entry、entrance、approach、access、passage、exit、vent、path。
Too修饰形容词或副词时,直接置于所修饰词的前面,意为“太,过于,过度”,例如:
The dress was too tight for me.
这件连衣裙对我来说太紧了。
This coffee is too sweet.
这咖啡太甜了。
It happened too quickly, so I just didn’t see it.
事情发生得太快了,所以我没看到。
The car was travelling too fast and went out of control.
汽车开得太快,失控了。
肯定句中的“too+形容词/副词+to(带to不定式)”结构
1.若动词不定式与前面的 too 呼应, 则该结构有否定意义,意为“太…而不能…”,此时的动词不定式在句中作结果状语,例如:
He earns too little to keep his family in comfort.
他挣的钱太少而不能让家人过得舒适。
I know him too well to like him.
我太了解他了而不能喜欢他。
The water was too cold to swim in.
水太冷了,游不进去。
She is too clumsy to handle glassware carefully.
她笨手笨脚,拿不动玻璃器皿。
2.若动词不定式不与前面的too呼应,而是修饰表“积极”意义的形容词,则该结构没有否定意义,此时too通常含有very之意,且前面常有类似于only,but或all等副词修饰,意为“很,非常”,例如:
I was only too glad to help him if he asked.
如果他提出来,我非常乐意帮助他。
解析:此句相当于 I was very glad to help him if he asked.
He is too ready to make promises.
他非常急于许下诺言。
解析:此句相当于 He is very ready to make promises.
It was all too easy to believe it.
这很容易令人相信。
解析:此句相当于 It was very easy to believe it.
too与否定词
Too与否定词连用,表示缓和语气、礼貌或谨慎,意为“太,十分”等,此时的too有very的味道,例如:
a.Were not too worried by these results.
我们对这些结果并不太担心。
b.Letsstart work on it now so were not too rushed at the end.
我们现在就开始干吧,免得最后太匆忙。
c.Its not too late to learn.
现在学习还不晚。
d.Its never too late to improve your diet.
什么时候改善饮食都为时不晚。
注意:句 c 和 d 中的“too … to ”结构已经没有否定意义了,所以以下翻译是错误的:
too与much,many,few,little
当要谈论数量多少的时候,在名词之前使用 too much,too little,too many,too few,其中前面两个修饰不可数名词,后面两个修饰可数名词,例如:
There’stoo much salt in this soup.
这汤里的盐太多了。
The trip was cancelled because there was too little interest in it.
旅行取消了,因为大家对它兴趣太少。
There were too many dogs on the beach.
海滩上的狗太多了。
I don’t like this book because there are too few pictures in it.
我不喜欢这本书,因为里面的图片太少了。
too与far,much
Far或much与too连用表示强调,其中 far too所表示的程度比much too大,例如:
另一个太贵了。
much too:The other one was much too expensive.
far too:The other one was far too expensive.
你对我实在太好了。
much too:You are much too kind to me.
far too:You are far too kind to me.
注意:too much 与 much too是完全不一样的,它们对应的中心词分别是much和too,那么区别也基本上就是much与 too的区别了。
too与very
1.虽然too有时有very的味道,但是当要强调形容词或副词时,只用very,而不用too,这个可以从中文意思中区分开来,too和very所表达的味道截然不同
2.too much 和 very much
Too much和very much的区别,终究还是too与very的区别,其中very much常与like,dislike,hope或doubt等表示心里活动的动词连用来强调这些动词,而too much没有这种用法,同样因为所表达出来的味道不一样
too bad
在口语中,too bad或its too bad表示遗憾或同情,用来回应所听到的事情,例如:
A:The weather forecast says it’s going to rain again on Wednesday.
天气预报说星期三还会下雨。
B:Too bad.We were planning to go for a picnic.
太糟了。我们打算去野餐。
too意为“也”
1.相比于also,too更常用于非正式场合,且通常置于句尾,例如:
Leilani likes to read novels.She likes to read poetry too.
莱拉尼喜欢看小说。她也喜欢读诗。
He is becoming a teacher too.
他也将成为一名教师。
2.当直接指向主语时,too可以直接跟在主语后面,这时它通常不出现在情态动词或助动词后面,而且经常前后用逗号隔开,例如:
I too thought she looked unwell.
我也觉得她看起来不舒服。
I, too, like bananas.
我也喜欢香蕉。
3.在简短的回答中用Me too,而不用I too,例如:
A:I love that colour.
我喜欢那种颜色。
B:Me too.
我也是。
