这些"太..."短语到底怎么用?

英语中有些看似相似的表达其实藏着大学问!今天我们要搞定的就是only tooall toobut toomuch/far too这些"太..."短语的区别。

第一组:only too / all too / but too

这三个短语都暗含"令人遗憾/惋惜"的情绪色彩

① only too

  • The news was only too true - 我们太难过了!这消息太真实了(坏消息成真)

  • We're only too happy to help - 我们非常乐意帮忙(这里不含负面情绪)

② all too

  • The vacation ended all too soon - 假期结束得太快了(表达不舍)

  • His fears were all too real - 他的担忧太真实了(带有沉重感)

③ but too

  • Her words proved but too accurate - 她的话证明太准确了(带点无奈)

  • We know this problem is but too common - 我们知道这个问题太普遍了(表达忧虑)

第二组:much too vs far too

这两个才是真正表达"过度"的否定含义

① much too(强调程度)

  • This dress is much too expensive - 这件连衣裙太贵了(超出预期价位)

  • You're much too quiet today - 你今天安静得太反常

② far too(强调严重程度)

  • There's far too much noise here - 这里噪音大得离谱

  • He's far too young for this job - 他年纪小得根本不行

特别注意!这些搭配不能混

  • much too many → ✔ far too many

  • much too few → ✔ far too few

  • much too little(因为little本身已表否定)

考考你:选哪个更地道?

  1. This problem is ___ serious to ignore.

    • A. only too

    • B. much too

  2. We have ___ many emails to reply.

    • A. far too

    • B. all too

记忆法

记住这个口诀:情感用前三,程度用后二

  • 表达情感时用 only too / all too / but too

  • 表达程度时用 much too / far too

  • 数量前要牢记 far too > much too

现在你是不是分得清这些"太..."短语的区别啦?快用它们造几个句子练练手吧!
