她这些天都太悲伤了。我想知道发生了什么。

I don't have enough sugar. Let's go to the supermarket.

1.关于enough

阅读下面的例子,你会发现,enough有时候位于它所修饰的词语前。例如:

What do we need for dinner? I think we have enough vegetables, don't we?

晚饭还需要准备些什么?我觉得蔬菜已经足够了,不是吗?

She feels that Tom has more than enough time to help.

她感觉汤姆有足够的时间来帮忙。

在其他的例子中,enough位于它所修饰的词语后面,例如:

你应该向约翰求助,他那么有钱,一定可以帮到我们的!

I don't think they are smart enough to take that class.

我觉得他们的智商不足以应付这门课。

看一看上面例子中被enough所修饰的词语。你会发现,enough位于名词vegetables(蔬菜)和time(时间)的前面,位于形容词rich(富裕的)和smart(聪明的)后面。如果你不能很好地区分名词和形容词,可以回顾一下词性方面的知识。
