如何理解too much of a... 有網友在“答疑中心”問(www.hz123456.com/guestbook/Guest_Reply.asp?TopicID=1667): 有這樣一句話: He was too much of a coward to tell the truth even to his closest friend. 這里面的much of作何解釋呢? 本問題由本站特約作者 ▲too much of a…to do sth 是英語中的一個固定表達,是too…to…句式與much of a…句式的混合用法。其中的too…to…大家比較熟悉,但對much of a … 則相對不那么熟悉。 much of a…雖然有時也用于肯定句,但更多是用于否定句,如與not, too, never等否定詞或是含有否定意義的詞語連用。對于初學者來說,可以簡單地將too much of a 理解為too,而將其后的名詞理解為形容詞,即將整個結構理解為“太……”,如: 將too much of a coward理解為“太膽怯”; 將too much of a risk理解為“太危險”或“太冒險”; 將too much of a gentleman 理解為“太紳士”; …… ▲關于too much of a 的例句: Flouting the law was too much of a risk. 藐視法律太危險了。——摘自《新牛津英語雙解大詞典》 I find this town too much of a backwater. 我覺得這個城鎮太閉塞。摘自《牛津高階英漢雙解詞典》 There is too much of a competitive element in the sales department. 銷售部門競爭太大。——摘自《牛津英語搭配詞典》 ▲關于too much of a...to do sth 的例句: I was too much of a coward to argue. 我太膽怯,沒有反駁。——摘自《牛津中階英語詞典》 She’s too much of a conformist to wear silly clothes. 她很古板,不穿那些奇裝異服。——摘自《牛津高階英漢雙解詞典》 He was too much of a gentleman to ask them for any money. 他太紳士氣了,不好意思向他們要錢。——摘自《牛津英語搭配詞典》 |
