五、much修飾介詞短語

much主要用于修飾由like, in, to等少數(shù)介詞所構(gòu)成的介詞短語。如：

The baby doesn’t look much like you. 這嬰兒長得不大像你。

They’re very much in love with each other. 他們彼此在熱戀中。

Much to my surprise, she did it by herself. 讓我極為驚訝的是，這竟然是她自己做的。

六、much修飾動詞

much修飾動詞時，通常只用于否定句或疑問句中，一般不能用于肯定句中（除非前面有 very, too, so 等之類的修飾語）。如：

正：She doesn’t like him much. (用于否定句，故正確)

正：She doesn’t much like him. (用于否定句，故正確)

正：Does she like him much? (用于疑問句，故正確)

正：Does she much like him? (用于疑問句，故正確)

正：She likes him very [too, so] much. (其前有修飾語，故正確)

注意以下誤句：

誤：She likes him much. / She much likes him. (因為它用于肯定句，且其前沒有修飾語，故不正確)

但是，不帶修飾語的much有時也能在肯定句中修飾動詞，但這通常只限于admire, affect, appreciate, dislike, enjoy, look forward to, prefer, regret等少數(shù)動詞，且much通常只能放在句中，不放在句末。如：

We much appreciate your invitation. 我們非常感激你的邀請。 (from www.yywords.com)

We would much prefer to be given money. 我們還是更喜歡有人給我們錢。

These factors have much affected the building of nuclear plants. 這些因素極大地影響了核電站的建立。

七、much修飾as

much as 可視為習(xí)語，其意為“雖然”，用法與though相似。如：

Much as I’d like to help, there isn’t a lot I can do. 盡管我愿意幫忙，卻沒有很多事我能做。

Much as he admired her looks and her manners，he had no wish to marry her. 雖說他很欣賞她的外貌和儀態(tài)，他卻無心和她結(jié)婚。

八、much修飾the same

much 修飾the same，從表面上是加強了the same的語氣，但實際上是緩和了其語氣，其意為“情況大致相同”“幾乎差不多”“沒什么變化”。如：

The patient is much the same this morning. 今天早上病人情況幾乎沒什么變化。

Whichever method you use, the result is much the same. 不論你用哪一種方法，結(jié)果都差不多。

They eat much the same thing for breakfast every day. 他們每天吃的早餐幾乎都一樣。(from www.yywords.com)
