also,too这两个词都是副词,又都表示“也是”的,但在修辞意味和使用场合上有所不同。它们的区别如下:(一)一般说来,also用于比较正式(formal)的场合,语气比too庄重; too是惯熟(familiar)的用语,使用范围较广。(二)also在句中的位置要紧靠动词; too在句中的位置比较灵活,有时插入句中,前后用逗号分开,有时放在句末。(三)too只能用在肯定句中,不可用于否定句内。在否定句中,只能用either;also则可以用在否定句中。下面请看例句:the hong kong chief executive also heads the university as chancellor.**行政长官也以(大学)校监身份领导大学。reading books ** learning,but application ** also learning and the more important form of learning.读书是学习,买践也是学习,而且是更重要的学习。we h**e not heard such a thing.also,we h**e never seen such a scene.我们没有听见过这种事情,我们也从来没有见过这种场面。请注意,一般说来,also在句中的位置应紧靠动词,但有时为了强调其意,也可以将它放在句首或句末。here,too,the colon must be followed by a dash.这里也一样,应当在冒号之后加破折号。mary,too,can play the piano.玛丽也会弹钢琴。could you speak japanese?—yes,and span**h too.您会说日语吗?——会的,还会说西班牙语哩。also虽然和too同义,但前者大都用于书面语,后者大都用于口语。例:the lady washed the children and also g**e them dinner.(书面语)the lady washed the children and g**e them dinner too.(口语)在口语中,too还可以用 as well代替。有时候,also在句中的位置不同,句子的涵义也会跟着变化。例:john ** also concerned in th** matter.(1)john also ** concerned in th** matter.(2)john ** concerned in th** matter also.(3)(1)句的涵义是:john ** concerned in th** matter as well as that one.(2)句的涵义是:john ** concerned in th** matter,just as somebody else **.(3)句的涵义是:th** matter ** the last of many that h**e been mentioned. 20210311
