词源解说
- 直接源自古英语的to，意为太。
用法辨析
- too的基本意思是“也”“还”“而且”,用于肯定句,否定句用either。too通常位于句末,其前的逗号可有可无,在书面语中,可位于句中,这时其前后一般应有逗号,在美式英语里,too可用于句首,其后必须有逗号。
- too也可作“太”“过于”“过分”解,修饰形容词或副词,与动词不定式连用时构成too...to结构,以肯定形式表示否定意义,译作“太…以至不能”。但在下面的情况中too...to结构不表示否定意义:①如果too后的形容词是anxious,apt,easy,eager,kind,glad,ready,willing,delighted等, too相当于very, extremely, particularly(很,大,非常),动词不定式不与too呼应而是修饰形容词,因而表示肯定意义; ②too前有only,but,all等词时,便没有否定的意思; ③too前如有not, never的too...to结构不表示否定意义, not, never否定谓语动词,构成双重否定,因而表示肯定意义,作“并不(太)…所以能…”解; ④如不定式前有not时too...not to结构也不表示否定意义,是双重否定表示肯定意义,作“太…(很、非常)…不会〔能〕不…”解; ⑤如果该结构中有两个动词不定式,那么前一个用来修饰形容词,表示肯定意义,后一个用来修饰副词too,表示结果,表否定意义。
- too作“非常,很”解时,常用于口语中,相当于very。
- too不能用very修饰,但可以用a little, a bit, rather, a lot, much 或 far 等来修饰。
- too可用于“too＋ adj. ＋a／an＋ n ”句型中。
