92常用的英语口语修饰语:                                                                 8/5/2014

so 和 such 是两个常用的英语口语修饰语, 前者是副词, 如, so stupid, so quick, so nice, so quickly等.  后者是形容词, 放在名词的前面, 如, such a story, such people . 也可放在 “形容词 + 名词” 的前面, such a stupid story, such nice people.

    例如 :

              I didn't enjoy the book. The story was so stupid.

  I didn't enjoy the book. It was such a stupid story.

    (不可用 ‘a so stupid story’, 因为 so是副词)

     [注]:  此处用such a…. , 这是习惯用法.  不能用a such….  .

      例如 : 

                It’s such a big house.  ( 习惯上不能写 ‘It’s  a such big house.’ )

                 (中译:  这么大的一楝房子. )

so 和 such有加强语氣的意味. 

   例如 :

              It's a lovely day, isn't it? It's so warm. (实在是很暖和)

  I like Paul and Mary. They are so nice.  (他们实在是很好)

              We enjoyed our holiday. We had such a good time. (实在是很享受.)

              I like Paul and Mary. They are such nice people. (不能用 'so nice people')

 so ... that ...也用得很频繁.  非常好用.

例如 :

           The book was so good that I couldn't put it down. (这书好得使我放不下它.)

   I was so tired that I fell asleep in the armchair.

      (我真太疲倦, 以致在靠背椅上睡着了.)

     [注] : 也可以省去that,  如, I was so tired (that) I fell asleep.

such ... that ...也可以如so ... that ...一样的使用.

例如 :

   It was such a good book that I couldn't put it down.

   It was such lovely weather that we spent the whole day on the beach.

   It was such lovely weather (that) we spent the whole day on the beach.

enough 和 too 是用得非常普遍的两个修饰语. 

enough 是形容词, 正常情况下, 它应该放在名词的前面, 但是习惯上常放在字尾. 

   例如:

He didn't get the job because he wasn't experienced enough.

  (不能写 'enough experienced', 习惯用语, 不能放动词短语中间)

            You won't pass the examination if you don't work hard enough.

            She shouldn't get married yet. She's not old enough.

[注] : 下面句子是放在名词前面.

例如 :

              He didn't get the job because he didn't have enough experience.

              (experience 是名词,  'enough', 放在名词的前面)

              I'd like to go away on holiday but I haven't got enough money.

              Some of us had to sit on the floor because there weren't enough chairs.

too 有‘超出’, ‘過多’ 和‘太’ 的意味. 常常有些人以为 too 这字写错了, 应该是 to, 切莫少写一个 ‘o’字母.  它是用得很频繁的一个副词. 尤其是它的短语很有用, 在口语中屡见不鲜, 如, too hard, too old, too….to等.  很好用, 多多练习使用它在句子中.

   例如 :

 You never stop working. You work too hard.

             We can't go away on holiday. It costs too much (可省去 ‘money’).

 There are too many people and not enough chairs.

             She's not old enough to get married. 
                  (或如此写 ‘She's too young to get married.’)

   [注] : 请留意下列三个例句:

             The food was very hot. We couldn't eat it.    (这是两句.)

             The food was so hot that we couldn't eat it.  (用 so….that  连成一句.)

             The food was too hot to eat. (用 too..to  连成一句, 很简洁. 省去 'it')

   再举数例, 以供欣赏:

             The wallet was too big to put in my pocket. 
                (不能写 'too big to put it',  省去 'it')

             These boxes are too heavy to carry.

                (不能用 'too heavy to carry them', 省去 'them')

             I am too tired to work tonight.
