此句型的意思是「太……而無法……」,雖然句型中沒有not或no這類的否定字,但句型本身即帶有否定意味,表示無法做到to V這個動作。如果要表示「對某對象來說,太……而無法……」的對象時,可在不定詞前方加上for sb / sth,寫為too Adj / Adv + for sb / sth + to
V。
例:John has become too ill to work.
John病得太重而無法工作。
Mark walks too fast for me
to catch up.
Mark走得太快而讓我無法跟上。

這個句型介紹以形容詞或副詞的「原級」來做比較的用法,意思是「A和B一樣……」,句型中的B可視為比較的基準,可為名詞或子句。如果B為子句時,重複的動詞或助動詞常省略。和Unit 1句型1介紹過的比較級用法不同的是,這裡不需要變化形容詞或副詞為比較級,只要以原級出現,就可以達到相比的效果。
例:The wall is almost as tough as iron.
牆壁幾乎和鐵一樣堅硬。
The little girl walks as slowly as a turtle (does).
小女孩走得跟烏龜一樣慢。

這個片語的意思是「差不多要做某事,即將快要做某事」,用來表示接下來的動作。片語中的just可省略,通常以be about to V的形式出現在句子裡。要特別注意的是,be about to比be going to在時間上更為緊迫,因此通常用於馬上就要做或即將發生的事情。但若句子中有tomorrow、next week等表示未來的時間副詞時,不可用be about to。
例:Karen was about to go to school when I saw her this morning.
今天早上我看到Karen時,她差不多要去上學。
The sky is dark. It is about to rain.
天色很暗。差不多要下雨了。

此片語的意思是「而且,再者」,是一個副詞片語,其中的what’s是what is的縮寫。這個片語的功用主要是承接語氣,銜接上文,表示後面還有相關的內容要講,再帶進深入探討的內容。
例:The party is great. What’s more, the food is free.
派對很棒。而且,食物是免費的。
I don’t want to go out
because it’s raining heavily. What’s
more, it’s already very late.
我不想外出,因為正在下雨。而且,已經很晚了。

何不走路上學?
Why not buy this dress?
