Tapescript Girl 1: So, what kind of pet do you want to get? Girl 2: How about a goldfish? Fish are easy to take care of. Girl 3: They are too boring! How about a snake? Snakes are interesting.

Girl 2: Eeew! Snakes are too scary! Let’s get a nice pet like a cat. Girl 1: A cat? I don’t like cats. Cats aren’t friendly enough. Girl 2: Well then, how about a dog? Dogs make great pets. Girl 1: That’s true. Hey, how about that dog? Isn’t he beautiful?

Girl 3: Yes, but his hair is too long. I don’t want to clean up dog hair every day. Girl 1: Oh, all right. Well, that hamster over there looks nice. He seems friendly, and he has short hair.

Girl 2: Yeah, he’s perfect! Girl 3: Let’s get him.

Explanation 1. too…to 这个短语虽然是肯定的形式，但是表达的是否定的意思：“太…以至于（不能）…”。如： He is too old to work. 他太老了, 不能工作了。

The box is too heavy for the little girl to carry. 这箱子太重, 小女孩搬不动。如在too前面或者后面有否定词not，则整个句子表达肯定。如： This question is not too difficult to answer. 这道题不太难回答。

He is too clever not to see that. 他很聪明，不会不懂这一点。比较so…that…如此…，以至于… 而that后的从句多用否定句。 The box is so heavy, that the little girl can’t carry it. 这个盒子如此重，以至于那个小女孩搬不动它。

2. spend…on 在…上花（时间或金钱）如: He spends a lot of money on books.　他花许多钱买书。 spend…(in) doing sth. 花 (时间或金钱等) 做某事如: The government will spend money looking after the patients. 政府要花钱去照料那些病人。

(3) take表示“花费”时，其主语一般是“一件事”，有时主语也可以是人，它说明事情完成“花费了……”。 It takes sb some time/money/energy to do sth. It tookme ten minutes to go to the post office．到邮局用用了我十分钟时间。 It takes a lot of money to buy a house as big as that．买一座像那样大的房子要花很多钱。

(5) pay for 的宾语为“物”、“事”，for表示支付的原因。如： You’ll have to pay me ten dollars a week for your meals．你得每周付给我十美元饭钱。
