1.enough 用作形容词,意为“充足的;足够的”,在句中可作定语或表语。作定语时,它的位置较灵活,既可放在所修饰词前,也可放在所修饰词后。例如:
We have enough time(time enough)to finish the work.
我们有足够的时间来完成这项工作。
2.enough 用作副词,意为“充分地;足够地;十分”,修饰形容词、副词或动词,位于所修饰词之后。例如:
Are you warm enough in such a light jacket?
你穿这么薄的夹克够暖和吗?
enough往往用在“be 形容词 enough for sb. to do”结构中,注意do后面不接宾语。例如:
The book is easy enough for you to read.
这本书很简单,你们可以看懂。
3.enough用作名词、代词,意为“足够;充分”。例如:
―Would you like another cup of tea?
你想再来一杯茶吗?
―I have had enough. Thank you very much.
我已经喝够了,非常感谢。
我们在使用enough时,还需要注意以下几点:
1.enough不能与no连用。如:
不可以说
I have no enough money to buy a car.
而应说:
I don't have enough money to buy a car.
2.enough 用作形容词时不可被very修饰,但可以用quite修饰。例如:
We have quite enough time.
我们有足够的时间。
3.can't/can never…… enough表示“越……越好;无论怎样……也不过分”。例如:
You can never be careful enough.
你越细心越好。
We can't thank him enough.
我们无论怎样感谢他也不过分。
