其他经典句型（5）
第一步：经典句型展示
1。 She can speak seven foreign languages to say nothing of her English。 她能讲七种外国语言，更不用说英语了。
【分析】①“say nothing of…”是用来表示“更不用说是…”的意思。②“not to speak of…”与“no to mention…”也是用来表示相同的意思。③“not to say…”则表示“即使不能说…”的意思。
2。 To tell the truth； I don’t like her at all。 说实在话，我一点也不喜欢她。
【分析】① to tell the truth= to say the truth，是用来表示“说实在话”、“说老实话”的意思，它是一个独立主格结构，用来修饰整个句子。② to be frank with you（坦白地说），to make a long story short（简单地说），to do one justice（公平的说），与to tell the truth是个相类似的句型。
3。 When I was a boy； I was too cowardly to go out at might。 当我还是个小孩时，我太胆小以致夜晚不敢出门。
【分析】① too…to…= so…that…cannot…，表示“太…以致无法…”的意思；② too…for＋意义上的主语＋to…的句型也表示相同的意思。
4。 This mountain is twice as large as that one。 这座山大约是那座山的两倍高。
【分析】① twice as large as 是表示“两倍的大小”的意思。当twice改为three times four times…时，则表示“三倍、四倍…”的意思，此外“as＋adj。＋as”结构还可用“as＋adv。＋as”表达；②“…as＋adj。＋n。＋as…”也可以表示同样的意思。
