昨天我们讲了比较级的用法(4)

英语

much主要用于修饰由like, in, to等少数介词所构成的介词短语。如：

The baby doesn’t look much like you. 这婴儿长得不大像你。

They’re very much in love with each other. 他们彼此在热恋中。

Much to my surprise, she did it by herself. 让我极为惊讶的是，这竟然是她自己做的。

六、much修饰动词

much修饰动词时，通常只用于否定句或疑问句中，一般不能用于肯定句中（除非前面有 very,

too, so 等之类的修饰语）。如：

正：She doesn’t like him much. (用于否定句，故正确)

正：She doesn’t much like him. (用于否定句，故正确)

正：Does she like him much? (用于疑问句，故正确)

正：Does she much like him? (用于疑问句，故正确)

正：She likes him very [too, so] much. (其前有修饰语，故正确)

注意以下误句：

误：She likes him much. / She much likes him. (因为它用于肯定句，且其前没有修饰语，

故不正确)

但是，不带修饰语的much有时也能在肯定句中修饰动词，但这通常只限于admire, affect,

appreciate, dislike, enjoy, look forward to, prefer, regret等少数动词，且much通常只能放

在句中，不放在句末。如：

We much appreciate your invitation. 我们非常感激你的邀请。

We would much prefer to be given money. 我们还是更喜欢有人给我们钱。
