very,too和enough虽相近,但弄混的话,有的时候褒义会变贬义

Very,too 和 enough 都可以作程度副词,而且在意思上非常接近,因此常常让人困惑,特别是 very 和 too 的区别。有的时候用错了,褒义就变贬义了,所以要特别引起重视。


一、very

Very 作副词时,直接置于形容词或副词之前来强调它们,表示某种程度的加强(intensify),例如:

修饰形容词(限定词):

I'm very very grateful.

我万分感激。

The photos are very beautiful.

照片很漂亮。

Very few people know that.

很少有人知道那件事。

修饰副词:

I like your dress very much.

我非常喜欢你的衣服。

Think about it very carefully before deciding.

在决定之前要仔细考虑。

被 very 修饰之后,被修饰成分在程度上的差别:


二、too

Too 中有两个”o“,暗示过度,通常有否定的味道,置于形容词或其他副词之前表示超过了某个度,例如:

修饰形容词(限定词):

There is too much sugar in this tea.

这茶里糖太多了。

Her words seem too good to be true.

她的话好听得不像真的。

修饰副词:

This lady talks too much.

这位女士说得太多了。

The car was travelling too fast and went out of control.

汽车开得太快,失控了。

The clerk at the counter gave me too little change.

柜台的售货员少给我找了零钱。

被 too 修饰之后,被修饰成分在程度上的差别:


三、enough

Enough 用来表示达到所需要的程度或数量,修饰动词、形容词或副词,且紧跟在这些词后面,例如:

修饰动词:

I hadn't trained enough for the game.

对比赛我训练得不够。

I don't think he's really experienced enough for this sort of job.

我认为他没有足够的经验做这种工作。

修饰形容词:

Is this box big enough for all those books?

这个箱子够放那些书吗?

He is old enough to take care of himself.

他已经长大了,可以照顾自己了。

修饰副词:

We didn't leave early enough.

我们离开得不够早。

Strangely enough, when it came to the test I actually felt pretty relaxed.

奇怪的是,到了考试的时候,我真的觉得很放松。

被 enough 修饰之后,被修饰成分在程度上的差别:


四、三者的区别

1. 强调形容词或副词时,用 very,而不用 too 或 enough;very 表示某个程度得到加强,too 表示超过了这个程度,enough 表示刚好达这个程度,例如:

他很强壮。

✔: He is very strong.

❌: He is too strong.

❌: He is strong enough.

2. 修饰如 little,few 或 many 等限定词时,用 very 或 too,而不用 enough,例如:

现在学拉丁语的学生少得很。

✔: Very few students learn Latin now.

✔: Too few students learn Latin now.

❌: Enough few students learn Latin now.

3. 修饰动词时,用 enough,而不用 very 或 too.

我认为你已经做得够多了。

✔: I think you have done enough.

❌: I think you have done very.

❌: I think you have done too.

4. Very 可以修饰本身,也即 very very,但是 too 和 enough 不行。

五、三者在程度上的区别
如果混用了这三个,有的时候褒义就变成贬义了。
