1．I'm too busy enjoying my life now to worry about the future！(P8)我太忙于享受现在的生活以至于没有时间去担心未来！

在下列情况中，too...to...结构表示肯定意义。

①当too后面是kind，ready，willing，eager，anxious，satisfied，happy，glad 等表示态度、心情等的形容词时，该结构不表示结果，也无否定意义，在此时该结构的意思相当于very。

②与not，never等否定词连用，即构成not(never)too...to...或too...not to...结构时，该句子是肯定意义。
