The maths problem is too difficult for me to work out. 这道数学题太难我解不出来。
三、too... to... 结构表达肯定的意义
1. too 前面含有表示否定意义的词,如: not, never, nothing等时, too... to... 结构不表示否定的意义。例如:
It is never too old to learn. 活到老,学到老。(要学永远都不迟。)
2. 如果在too... to...这种结构的前面出现了only, 不仅免去了too的否定意义,
反而加强了too的肯定语气,only too 相当于very 或very much。例如:
I shall be only too pleased to get home. 到了家我将极其高兴。
3. too后接表示感情的形容词,如glad, pleased, happy, sad等时, too... to...句型不再表示否定意义,而表示的是肯定意义。例如: He is too sad to hear the bad news. 听到这个不幸的消息他太悲伤了。
四、too... to... 结构与enough...to... 结构及so... that...结构的相互转换
1. 将too...to...结构转换为enough... to... 结构时,要注意: (1) enough 前的形容词或副词应是too前面形容词或副词的反义词; (2) enough... to... 句式须用否定式;
(3) too... to...结构有逻辑主语时, enough... to... 结构也要加上逻辑主语。例如:
She is too young to do the work. = She isn't old enough to do the work.
The problem is too hard for him to work out.= The problem isn't easy
enough for him to work out.
2. 将too...to...结构转换为so... that... 结构时,要注意: (1) so... that... 结构是复合句,so 的后面接形容词或副词的原级,that的后面接从句。
(2) that后面的从句要用否定形式。例如:
She is too young to go to school. = She is so young that she can't go to school.
请同学们做做下列中考题,以便检验你对too... to...用法的掌握情况。
变换下列句型:
1. a. The box is so heavy that I can't carry it.
b. The box is ________ heavy______ ________ ________ carry.
c. The box is not ________ ________ for me to carry. 2. a. The maths problem isn't easy enough for me to work out. b. The maths problem is ________ difficult ________ I can't work it out. c. The maths problem is ________ difficult ________ ________ ________ work out.
3. a. The book is interesting enough for everybody to read. b. The book is ________ interesting________ everybody likes to read it.
Keys: 1. b. too, for me to c. light enough 2. b. so, that c. too, for me to 3. b. so, that
不定式作定语
不定式在句中作定语,置于被修饰的名词或代词之后。如: ①The next train to arrive is from Washington. ②Have you anything to be taken to your sister ③Do you have anything to say on the question ④Would you please give me some paper to write on ⑤My wish to visit France has come true at last. 不定式短语作定语和被修饰词之间表示以下关系: (1)表示将来的动作(例①)。
(2)与被修饰词之间有动宾关系,如是不及物动词,则需加介词(例④)。 (3)与被修饰词之间有动宾关系,同时与句中其它词之间又有逻辑上的主谓关系时,
尽管有被动含义,却仍 用主动语态(例③);如只有动宾关系,而无逻辑上的主谓关系,
则需用被动语态(例②)。
(4)不定式作定语时,一般可转换为定语从句,例①to arrive=that will arrive。 作宾语补足语
一些及物动词除要求按宾语外,有时还需要有宾语补足语,说明宾语的行为、状态、特征, 这时意思才相对完整。
(1)常要求不定式作宾补的动词有:allow,ask,advise,beg,cause,drive(强迫),
encourage,expect,fo rbid,force,get,would like(love,hate),order,permit,persuade, teach,tell,want,warn,wish等。如:
①Would you like me to give your regards to Mary ②I want you to understand the whole passage clearly.
(2)部分动词后常接to be+形容词、名词短语等形式,有时to be可省略, 如:
believe,consider,discover,find(=consider),feel(=think),imagine,judge,know,prove,
think,suppose,see(=understand),understa nd等。 ①We all believe John(to be)honest.
②I consider him(to be)one of the best biology teachers of No. 1 Middle School.
