too 和either的不同用法 我的經驗是,剛剛學英文的人很容易混淆too和either的用法。試試判斷下面兩句話是否正確: 句一、My friends went to Japan last year, and they all had fun. During the Christmas holiday this year, I am going to Japan, too.(我一群朋友去年去了日本,他們都玩得很高興。今年的聖誕節假期,我也要去日本。) 句二、My parents went to the restaurant that was opened last week, and they hated it. I myself don’t like that new restaurant, too.(我爸媽去了上禮拜剛開幕的餐廳,他們完全不喜歡。我自己也不喜歡那間餐廳。) 「更多英文學習:QQ English」
判斷對錯之前,我們先稍微了解too和either的用法。
- too僅用於肯定句和疑問句。
- either用於否定句。
清楚兩者之前的差別後,我們可以判斷句一為正確用法,而句二為錯誤用法。因為句二是否定句(「…我自己也不喜歡…」),所以應該要用either。句二正確的寫法應該為: My parents went to the restaurant that was opened last week, and they hated it. I myself don’t like that new restaurant, either. 下面是一段對話,大家可以注意too和either的用法: Tony: Have you seen the movie, Lucy? I love it!(妳看過電影「露西」了嗎?我好喜歡這部片喔!) Mary: I love that movie, too!(我也好喜歡!) Tony: I would have totally enjoyed the movie, if it were for the guy who was eating stinky tofu the whole time!(我本來可以徹底享受這部片的,偏偏就有一位仁兄整場電影都在吃臭豆腐。) Mary: I don’t like people eating food that smells during the movie, either.(看電影時,我也不喜歡別人吃有味道的食物。)
