Enough和too两个词都可以描述和修饰“数量的多”和“程度的高”,但两者的用法确实截然不同。本期内容就与各位进行简明扼要的讨论。
Enough用来表示“足够的”,其实是表示“数量”和“程度”都是恰到好处,不多不少刚刚好。
Enough会跟在形容词或副词之后,表示“程度”刚合适。
请看下列例句:
The taxi is fast enough.
这辆出租车足够地快。
He didn’t read the note carefully enough.
他并没有足够仔细地阅读说明。
The water is cool enough. You can drink it now.
这杯水足够地凉爽,你现在可以喝掉它。
The teacher didn’t speak loudly enough. So I didn’t understand.
老师没有足够大声地讲解,所以我不理解。
Enough也可以在名词之前,表示“足够多的…”
I don’t have enough money to buy this house.
我没有足够的钱买这套房子。
There isn’t food in the fridge, so we need to go shopping.
冰箱里食物不多了,我们需要去购物。
