如何理解too much of a... 有网友在“答疑中心”问(www.yygrammar.com/guestbook/Guest_Reply.asp?TopicID=1667): 有这样一句话: He was too much of a coward to tell the truth even to his closest friend. 这里面的much of作何解释呢? 本问题由本站特约作者 ▲too much of a…to do sth 是英语中的一个固定表达,是too…to…句式与much of a…句式的混合用法。其中的too…to…大家比较熟悉,但对much of a … 则相对不那么熟悉。 much of a…虽然有时也用于肯定句,但更多是用于否定句,如与not, too, never等否定词或是含有否定意义的词语连用。对于初学者来说,可以简单地将too much of a 理解为too,而将其后的名词理解为形容词,即将整个结构理解为“太……”,如: 将too much of a coward理解为“太胆怯”; 将too much of a risk理解为“太危险”或“太冒险”; 将too much of a gentleman 理解为“太绅士”; …… ▲关于too much of a 的例句: Flouting the law was too much of a risk. 藐视法律太危险了。——摘自《新牛津英语双解大词典》 I find this town too much of a backwater. 我觉得这个城镇太闭塞。摘自《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》 There is too much of a competitive element in the sales department. 销售部门竞争太大。——摘自《牛津英语搭配词典》 ▲关于too much of a...to do sth 的例句: I was too much of a coward to argue. 我太胆怯,没有反驳。——摘自《牛津中阶英语词典》 She’s too much of a conformist to wear silly clothes. 她很古板,不穿那些奇装异服。——摘自《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》 He was too much of a gentleman to ask them for any money. 他太绅士气了,不好意思向他们要钱。——摘自《牛津英语搭配词典》 |
