TOO" ve "ENOUGH"
Bu iki zıt kardeş yapıdan birincisi cümleye "tersine" bir anlam kazandırır... Bu anlamı Türkçe'ye genellikle "...mayacak kadar" kavramı ile çeviririz. Ayrıca, yapısal özellikleri de not ediniz:

Örnekler:
She is too young to go out alone at night. Geceleri sokağa yalnız çıkamayacak kadar küçük. (= Buna izin veremeyiz.)
She is old enough to go out alone at night. Kendisi karar verebilecek yaşta; biz karışamayız.
He is ill enough to need a doctor. Bir doktora ihtiyacı olacak derecede hasta. Doktor çağırın...
Oh, it was too good to be true, anyway... Durumun bir yanılsama, bir serap olduğunu anlayıp gerçeklere dönünce bir iç çekişi ile söylediklerimiz...
You're just too good to be true...
DİKKAT:" too + sıfat + ad + (mastar) " şeklindeki varyasyona da dikkatinizi çekmek isterim:
I just can't figure out what it is, but there must be a catch -- it just sounds too good an opportunity to be true. Walla ne olduğunu çıkarsayamıyorum ama bu işin bir püf noktası olmalı -- (çünkü) inanılmayacak derecede harika bir fırsat gibi görünüyor...
That is obviously too shallow an argument for a man of your intellectual powers... Bunun, senin entellektüel gücüne sahip bir kimse için çok sığ bir argüman olduğu apaçık...
DİKKAT:" too + sıfat + mastar " yapısının tümceye "tersine" bir anlam kazandıracağını söyledik; ancak bu mutlaka "olumsuz" bir nüans getirecek demek değildir. Şu örneklere bakınız:
We thought it was too good an opportunity to miss. Kaçırılmayacak kadar iyi bir fırsat olduğunu düşündük.
Daha İleri Örnekler:
It may not be the best one available, but it's good enough for me! Ama benim için yeterli...
Too much light will make you go blind temporarily... Çok fazla ışık geçici körlüğe neden olacaktır.
Too Little Sleep May Accelerate Aging. Çok az uyku yaşlanmayı hızlandırabilir.
Here is some advice for "Parents Who Love Too Much"... Good parents can learn to "Love More Wisely" and develop children of character. = (Mealen) Aşırı sevgi ile çocuklarınızı şımartmayın. Akıllı sevgi ile çocukların karakterinin gelişmesini sağlayın...
Unfortunately, there was too little interest, and specially too little contribution on the part of the general public. Ne yazık ki halktan çok az ilgi ve özellikle de çok az katkı vardı...
