In this episode, I am going to teach you a very strange adverb. That's right: a very strange adverb. I'm sure that you are familiar with the word too—t-o-o.
在这一集中,我将教你一个非常奇怪的副词。没错:一个非常奇怪的副词。我相信你对“too”这个词很熟悉。
This word has more than one meaning, but let's look at the meaning of too that is "very much" or "excessively" or "extremely." Or maybe even "to an inappropriate level."
这个词有多个含义,但让我们来看看“too”的含义,即“非常”或“过度”或“极其”。或者甚至是“到不合适的程度”。
This is the too that you hear in a sentence like this: "This furniture is just too expensive." This furniture is just too expensive. In other words, it is extremely expensive.
这就是你在这样的句子中听到的“too”:“This furniture is just too expensive.”换句话说,it is extremely expensive.
It is so expensive that it is inappropriate in some way, or unreasonable. I want you to keep that meaning in your mind as I talk about this next thing.
它太贵了,以至于在某种程度上不合适,或者不合理。我希望你在谈论下一件事时记住这个意思。
This is the adverb that I want to tell you about. It is all too. All too. That's a-l-l, t-o-o. All too.
这就是我想告诉你的副词:all too。
All too is an adverb that means "very." Or "very much" or "too much" or "excessively" or "to an inappropriate level."
All too 是一个表示“非常”的副词。或者“非常”或“太多”或“过度”或“达到不适当的程度”。
So it is very, very similar to the word too. All too and too are very similar.
所以它与单词too非常非常相似。All too和too非常相似。
Let me give you an example of a situation where somebody might use this adverb, all too.
让我举个例子,说明有人可能会使用这个副词all too。
Let's say that your friend will be going out of town for a little while. And your friend has asked you to visit her apartment a few times while she's gone.
假设你的朋友要出城一段时间。你的朋友请你在她不在的时候去她的公寓几次。
She wants you to make sure that everything is okay and to make sure that her cat is doing well.
她想让你确保一切都好,并确保她的猫过得好。
Your friend gives you a little warning and says, "You know, my cat can be a little bit angry or aggressive sometimes."
你的朋友给你一个小小的警告,说:“我的猫有时会有点生气或有攻击性。”
And you answer like this: "Yes, I'm all too familiar with your cat's behavior." I'm all too familiar with your cat's behavior. What does that mean? All too familiar.
你这样回答:"Yes, I'm all too familiar with your cat's behavior."All too familiar是什么意思?
It means "very familiar" or "extremely familiar." But it also has a negative kind of feeling, as though you are saying something like "Yes, unfortunately, I am very familiar with your cat's behavior."
它的意思是“非常熟悉”或“极其熟悉”。但它也有负面的感觉,就好像你在说“是的,不幸的是,我非常熟悉你家猫的行为。”
"I am all too familiar" has that kind of negative meaning. But all too doesn't always sound negative.
“I am all too familiar”有这种负面含义。但all too并不总是听起来很消极。
That is all too, an adverb that means "very" or "excessively" or maybe even "unfortunately." And this is an adverb that I think you should know.
以上就是关于all too的用法,一个副词,意思是“非常”或“过度”,甚至可能是“不幸的是”。我认为你应该知道这个副词。
