第24集上：敲黑板！「too…to…」结构到底表示否定还是肯定？

原文：

Hi, Mom. 

Hi, Robbie. 

You're home from school early. 

Yeah, they're getting the assembly hall ready for the graduation ceremony, so we all got to go home early.

Too noisy to study. 

Well, now that you're here, you can help me with dinner. I need those potatoes peeled and sliced. 

Mom, give me a brea

笔记：

1）一般情况下to do可以理解为否定的，“不能做…”：

You’re too young to read the book.

你太小了，看不懂这本书。

Life is too short to waste on a job you hate.

生命如此短暂，不应浪费在你所讨厌的工作。（to waste不应浪费）

2）如果句子中有否定词never, not, no等

to do部分可以理解为“肯定”的意思：

It is never too old late to learn.

活到老学到老。

Don't try too hard to be something you're not.

别试图成为你不可能成为的人。
