too & very 的区别
分类: 英语学习方法
Very = 很
When we use very, it's not clear whether what we are describing is a good or a bad thing.
当我们用 “very” 时,并没有说明所描述的事物是好是坏。
The building is very old.
This could be a good thing: 'the building is old and beautiful'. It could also be a bad thing: 'the building is old and falling down'.
这可能是好事:“这幢楼古老而美丽”。也可能是坏事:“这幢楼很老,就要塌了”。
Too = 过于、太
When we use too, it means there's a problem.
当我们用 “too” 时,意味着所描述的事情有问题。
The building is too old.
This is a bad thing. The building is too old. It might fall down and could be dangerous.
这暗示楼很 “古老” 是件坏事。这幢楼太旧了。它可能会坍塌,很危险。
