much too和too much的用法区分
too much
在这个短语中,中心词是much, too修饰much,用来加强语气。
(1)much作形容词时,too much可用在不可数名词前,表示太多。如:
I drank too much wine last night.
我昨天晚上喝酒太多。
(2)作为短语起名词作用。后面可加of短语,也可单独使用。如:
You have given me too much.
你给我的太多了。
You gave me too much of the paper.
你给我的纸张太多了。
(3)作为副词短语,修饰动词性很强的过去分词。在正式的文体中用too much比用too好。如:
I’m not too much bothered by his criticism.
我并不因为他的批评而感到不高兴。
(4)放在句末修饰动词。如:
He talked too much.
他讲得太多了。
(5)不能直接修饰形容词或副词(因为much不能这样用)。如,
不能说:This one is too much big.
(6)一般不放在be后面作名词主语的表语。如,
不能说:The noise was too much.
应改为:There was too much noise.
much too
(1)much可以修饰“too+形容词或副词的原级”,用来加强语气。如:
This one is much too big.
这个大得太多了。
You are going much too fast.
你走得实在太快了。
(2)much一般不能放在too many或too few前。如,
不能说:We’ve got much too many eggs and much too few eggcups.
应改为:We’ve got far too many eggs and far too few eggcups.
我们的鸡蛋太多了,而蛋杯太少了。
