“钱花太多是too much money还是much too money?” “咖啡太苦是much too bitter还是too much bitter?” 看完这篇,保你3分钟根治“选择困难症”!


1秒区分:谁修饰谁?

记住这个公式? too much + 不可数名词 | much too + 形容词/副词

✅ 正确示范:

  • too much:修饰“量多到离谱”的东西(不可数!)
               “I drank too much coffee (不可数) and now I can't sleep.”
               (我咖啡喝太多,现在失眠了)
               → 吐槽场景:奶茶店疯狂加料
               “Boba with too much tapioca? That's me!”
               (珍珠加太多的奶茶?说的就是我!)

  • much too:修饰“程度太过分”的形容词/副词
               “This bag is much too heavy (形容词) for me!”
               (这包对我来说重到离谱!)
               → 健身翻车现场:
               “I lifted much too hard (副词) at the gym. Now I can't move!”
               (健身房练太猛,现在瘫了)


大型翻车现场:用错有多尴尬?

❌ 作死错误:

  • “这件衣服太大” 说成 "This dress is too much big."(×)
               → 老外内心:big是形容词,应该用much too big

  • “你放太多盐了” 说成 "You added much too salt."(×)
               → 正确版:too much salt(salt是不可数名词!)

✅ 避坑绝招:

先判断核心词是名词还是形容词/副词


超强记忆法:首字母联想法

  • too mUch → 中间的U像杯子,装“不可数”液体(water/money/time)

  • much tOo → 中间的O像放大镜,强调程度(old/fast/expensive)

例句对照:

  • too much + 不可数名词
               “Stop spending too much time (*不可数*) on TikTok!”
               (别再刷抖音浪费时间了!)

  • much too + 形容词
               “This phone is much too expensive (*形容词*) for me.”
               (这手机贵到把我卖了都买不起)


听力实战:连读陷阱!

老外口语中,这两个短语常“糊成一团”:

  • too much → 常连读成 /tuː mʌtʃ/ (“兔骂吃”)

  • much too → 连读成 /mʌtʃ tuː/ (“骂吃兔”)

对话破解:

A: "The music is much too loud!"(音乐太吵了!)
B: "What? I can't hear you! You're complaining too much!"(啥?听不见!你抱怨太多了/你事儿可真多!)

→ 翻译成中文都带“太”,但英文结构完全不同!


高阶用法:too much的骚操作

单独使用表示“过分/受不了”

  • 场景:朋友疯狂凡尔赛
               A: "I got full marks without even studying!"
               (我没复习都考了满分!)
               B: "Too much! Stop showing off!"
               (过分了!别凡了!)

固定搭配:

  • too much information (TMI) → 信息量太大(常指尴尬话题)
               “I saw my boss dancing in a chicken costume...”
               "Whoa, TMI!"
               (“我看到老板穿鸡装跳舞…”“打住!辣眼睛!”)


终极总结:一张图搞定

短语修饰对象例句
too much不可数名词"Too much sugar causes diabetes."
much too形容词/副词"You're much too kind to me!"

顺口溜记忆:
   “Much too 后接形副词,Too much 跟不可数,谁在前谁在后,搞错立马变笑料!”


互动时间:测测你是否出师!

挑战题:

  • “这汤太咸了” → "The soup is ______ salty."

  • “他话太多” → "He talks ______."

(答案:1. much too 2. too much)
