【析】英语中“too....to....”结构表示“太……以致不”的意思。例如:I was too excited to say

a single word at the news.但是,如果too后形容词表示主语的心理活动或情感态度(常见的有glad,easy,ready,anxious,eager, willing,happy等),这时too含有肯定意义,表示“very,extremely”的意思。

4. It’s three years since he worked here.

【析】在“It is some time since +主语+谓语+其它成分。”这一结构中,如果从句谓语动词是非延续性动词,那么时间的计算就从该动作的发生开始算起。
