两个much的用法（I have much too much work to do tonight)

问题描述

I have much too much work to do tonight.

句中两个 much 的作用是什么？ 第二个 much 修饰 work，作定语，是形容词。第一个 much 用作副词，修饰副词 too。much 和 too 这两个副词一起修饰后一个形容词 much，对吗？请专家老师解答！

老师答疑

曾老师：

同意黎老师和陈老师的解答，too much作定语修饰work，第一个much为程度副词作状语修饰too much。借此机会，说说too much：

1.too much可以起副词作用，在句中作状语。如：

I miss you too much. 我实在是太想念你了。(状语修饰动词)

2.too much还可以起代词或形容词的作用，在句中作主语、宾语、定语或表语。如：

Too much will be done. 要做的事太多了。(主语)

He ate too much. 他吃的太多了。 (宾语)

He wasted too much time. 他浪费了太多的时间。(定语).

The rubbish in the room is too much. 屋子里的垃圾太多了。(表语)

陈老师：

回答如下：

黎老师：

根据《朗文高级英语应试词典》，在 too much 前面可以加表示程度的副词或短语： far / much / rather / a little, 所以，much too much work 的意思是“太多太多的工作”，也可以只翻译成“太多的工作”。可以理解成副词 much 修饰短语 too much。
