我知道cannot......too是再.......也不为过的意思,但不知道该怎么用。也不知道cannot和too后面接的是形容词还是什么别的词语或句子。
“cannot…too…”结构表示“无论怎么……也不算过分”、“越……越好”、“要格外……”的意思。表示此意的结构有下列几种:
1、 cannot +动词+too +形容词或副词。如:
We cannot be too careful in doing experiments.
我们做实验时越仔细越好。
I cannot thank you too much.
我怎么感谢你也不过分。
2、cannot + over动词/cannot + be +over-形容词。如:
We cannot overemphasize the importance of learning a foreign language.
我们无论怎么强调学习外语的重要性也不过分。
We cannot be over- vigilant.
我们应该特别警惕。
3、 cannot+动词+too much(much enough)。如:
We cannot praise him too much.
我们无论怎样表扬他也不算过分。
He is very reliable. You can’t trust him too much (much enough).
他很可靠,他是你最值得信赖的人。
4、cannot +动词+形容词或副词+enough。
在“cannot…too…”结构中的too可换成enough; not也可换成never, hardly等否定词。如:
You can never be strong enough.
强壮的身体有百利无一害。
Drinking water can never be pure enough.
饮用水越纯越好。
5、cannot +动词+too many +可数名词(或too much +不可数名词)。如:
I think it right that one cannot learn too much knowledge.
我认为一个人的知识越多越好。
It is wrong to think that one cannot bear too many children.
You cannot be too careful.你再小心也不为过。(你越小心越好)
You cannot pay too much attention to you reading skill,as it is so important.
你再关心阅读能力也不为过(越关心阅读能力越好),因为它很重要。
