682　too much，very much和much too

① too much可以修飾不可數(shù)名詞，意為“太多，太過”，這時，too much結構中的much是形容詞，意為“許多，大量的”，too修飾形容詞原級much，表示強調，所以much是中心詞，too是much的狀語。這時，too much為形容詞短語，修飾不可數(shù)名詞。

He wasted too much time in his youth. 他年輕時浪費了太多的時間。

He has too much work to do. 他有太多的工作要做。

Don't drink too much wine. 不要喝太多的酒。
