  • too...to太...以至于不能...（too：太，不）
  • A lady can never have too many dress
• We can ==hardly== praise his achievement ==too== much.我们表扬他再多也不为过
• ==否定词...too→形式否定实际是肯定之意==
• A mother can ==never== be patient ==enough== with her child.一个母亲对她的孩子再怎么耐心也不为过
• ==否定词...enough→形式否定实际是肯定之意==
• I cannot agree with you more.我十分同意你.
• ==否定词...too/enough/more→形式否定实际是肯定之意==

（3）否定转移

• I don’t trust you because you are honest.我相信你不是因为你诚实.
  • I don't love you became who you are.我爱你不是因为你是谁.
  • I don't love you,became who you are.因为你是这样一个人，我不爱你.
• ==如果because前面一个句子是否定，而且两个句子之间没有“,”，那么否定要转移到because前，如果because前面有“，”则正常翻译.==
• I love you ==not== because who you are ==but== because who I am with you.To the world you are one person but to me you are my whole world.（因为有固定搭配not...but所以not写在because前面）
