《夏洛的網(wǎng)》是美國(guó)作家E.B.懷特所著的三部被譽(yù)為“二十世紀(jì)讀者最多、最受愛(ài)戴的童話”之一。

在朱克曼家的谷倉(cāng)里，快樂(lè)地生活著一群動(dòng)物，其中小豬威爾伯和蜘蛛夏洛建立了最真摯的友誼。然而，一個(gè)最丑惡的消息打破了谷倉(cāng)的平靜：威爾伯未來(lái)的命運(yùn)競(jìng)?是成為熏肉火腿。作為一只小豬，悲痛絕望的威爾伯似乎只能接受任人宰割的命運(yùn)了，然而，看似渺小的夏洛卻說(shuō)：“我救你?！庇谑牵穆逵米约旱慕z在豬欄上織?出了被人類視為奇跡的網(wǎng)上文字，徹底逆轉(zhuǎn)了威爾伯的命運(yùn)，終于讓它在集市的大賽中贏得特別獎(jiǎng)，和一個(gè)安享天命的未來(lái)。但，這時(shí)，蜘蛛夏洛的生命卻走到了盡?頭……

作者簡(jiǎn)介：

№.2?-The?heat?is?too?much?for?him.

【譯文】那個(gè)對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)太燙了。

【詞組筆記】too?much

【舉一反三】

too?much?

在這個(gè)短語(yǔ)中，中心詞是much,?too修飾much，用來(lái)加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣。?

（1）much作形容詞時(shí)，too?much可用在不可數(shù)名詞前，表示太多。如：?

I?drank?too?much?wine?last?night.?

我昨天晚上喝酒太多。?

（2）作為短語(yǔ)起名詞作用。后面可加of短語(yǔ)，也可單獨(dú)使用。如:?

You?have?given?me?too?much.?

你給我的太多了。?

You?gave?me?too?much?of?the?paper.?

你給我的紙張?zhí)嗔恕?

（3）作為副詞短語(yǔ)，修飾動(dòng)詞性很強(qiáng)的過(guò)去分詞。在正式的文體中用too?much比用too好。如：?

I’m?not?too?much?bothered?by?his?criticism.?

我并不因?yàn)樗呐u(píng)而感到不高興。?

（4）放在句末修飾動(dòng)詞。如：?

He?talked?too?much.?

他講得太多了。?

（5）不能直接修飾形容詞或副詞（因?yàn)閙uch不能這樣用）。如，?

不能說(shuō)：This?one?is?too?much?big.?

（6）一般不放在be后面作名詞主語(yǔ)的表語(yǔ)。如，?

不能說(shuō)：The?noise?was?too?much.?

應(yīng)改為：There?was?too?much?noise.?

much too

much可以修飾“too+形容詞或副詞的原級(jí)”，用來(lái)加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣。如：?

This?one?is?much?too?big.?

這個(gè)大得太多了。?

You?are?going?much?too?fast.?

你走得實(shí)在太快了。?

（2）much一般不能放在too?many或too?few前。如，?

不能說(shuō)：We’ve?got?much?too?many?eggs?and?much?too?few?eggcups.?

應(yīng)改為：We’ve?got?far?too?many?eggs?and?far?too?few?eggcups.?

我們的雞蛋太多了，而蛋杯太少了。 ?
