Chapter 16. Off to the air
【特点段落】
Lurvy was in bed by eight-thirty. He lay dreaming that he was throwing baseballs at a cloth cat and winning a genuine Navajo blanket. Mr. and Mrs. Zuckerman were in bed by nine. Mrs. Zuckerman lay dreaming about a deep freeze unit. Mr. Zuckerman lay dreaming about Wilbur. He dreamt that Wilbur had grown until he was one hundred and sixteen feet long and ninetytwo feet high and that he had won all the prizes at the Fair and was covered with blue ribbons and even had a blue ribbon tied to the end of his tail.
When morning came, everybody got up at daylight. The day was hot. Up the road at the Arables' house, Fern lugged a pail of hot water to her room and took a sponge bath. Then she put on her prettiest dress because she knew she would see boys at the Fair. Mrs. Arable scrubbed the back of Avery's neck, and wet his hair, and parted it, and brushed it down hard till it stuck to the top of his head - all but about six hairs that stood straight up. Avery put on clean underwear, clean blue jeans, and a clean shirt. Mr. Arable dressed, ate breakfast, and then went out and polished his truck. He had offered to drive everybody to the Fair, including Wilbur.
No.1 - "That's some pig!" said Mrs. Arable.

【词组笔记】too much
【举一反三】
too much
在这个短语中，中心词是much, too修饰much，用来加强语气。
（1）much作形容词时，too much可用在不可数名词前，表示太多。如：
I drank too much wine last night.
我昨天晚上喝酒太多。
（2）作为短语起名词作用。后面可加of短语，也可单独使用。如:
You have given me too much.
你给我的太多了。
You gave me too much of the paper.
你给我的纸张太多了。
（3）作为副词短语，修饰动词性很强的过去分词。在正式的文体中用too much比用too好。如：
I’m not too much bothered by his criticism.
我并不因为他的批评而感到不高兴。
（4）放在句末修饰动词。如：
He talked too much.
他讲得太多了。
（5）不能直接修饰形容词或副词（因为much不能这样用）。如，
不能说：This one is too much big.
（6）一般不放在be后面作名词主语的表语。如，
不能说：The noise was too much.
应改为：There was too much noise.
much too
much可以修饰“too+形容词或副词的原级”，用来加强语气。如：
This one is much too big.
这个大得太多了。
You are going much too fast.
你走得实在太快了。
（2）much一般不能放在too many或too few前。如，
不能说：We’ve got much too many eggs and much too few eggcups.
应改为：We’ve got far too many eggs and far too few eggcups.
我们的鸡蛋太多了，而蛋杯太少了。
