“too...not to” 此句型是由含否定意义的“too...to”演变而,来,too...to中to为否定,当其前加了not之后,否定之否定等于肯定,所以这个句型意为“太…不会不…”、“非常…一定能…”。这也是否定形式表示肯定意义。例如: ①He is too careful not to have noticed it.他那么细心,不会不注意到这一点。 ②He is too angry not to say it.他在盛怒之下,难免要说出这样的话来。 ③He is too wise not to solve this problem.他非常聪明,一定能解决这一问题。 ④He is too honest not to keep his promise.他非常诚实,不会不守约的。 ⑤Carrie was too worn by defeat not to feel that it was considerable.嘉利一再碰钉子,不能不感到这是个好机会。
not too...to 这个句型中的not可用never代替,not或never否定的是too,而to却含肯定意义,因此意为“并不太…所以能…”。这是否定形式表示肯定意义。例如: ①We are never too old to learn.我们应活到老,学到老。 ②French is not too difficult for us to learn.对我们来说,法语并不太难学。 ③It is never too late to give up our prejudices.舍弃偏见决不至于过迟。(随时都可抛弃偏见) ④It is never too late to mend.改过不嫌晚。
