可以用“to be + adjective + enough + to”的结构来描述一个人的品质和能力。
如:

他个头高,可以够到篮筐。

You have enough time to do it.

Ⅱ、enough作状语,意为“充足地,充分地”,修饰形容词或副词,放在形容词或副词之后。
That coat is dear enough.

Ⅲ、enough作表语,意为“足够的”。

too...to的用法
可以用“to be + too + adjective + to do”的结构来表达一个否定的结果。如:
He is too tired to go on working.
他太累了,不能继续工作。
British people are too polite to laugh loudly in public.
英国人太有礼貌了,不会在公共场合大声笑。
可以在不定式前加介词for引出逻辑主语。如:
The box is very heavy. The little boy cannot to carry.
= The box is too heavy for the little boy to carry.
The apple is very high. The child cannot reach it.
= The apple is too high for the child to reach.
注意:
Ⅰ. too...to结构和never一起使用是并不表示否定。如:
One is never too old to learn.
活到老,学到老。
Ⅱ. “to be + too + adjective + to do”结构相当于“to be + not + adjective + enough + to do”,这两个句型中的形容词是反义词。
1. He is too young to work.
= He is not old enough to work.
2. The girl is too short to see it.
= The girl is not tall enough to see it.
3. The question is too hard for me to answer.
= The question is not easy enough for me to answer.
After the radio show
The radio show is over. Millie wants to write about that day in her diary. Help her rewrite the sentences with "to be + too + adjective + to-infinitive".
1. Suzy was very shy. She did not join the discussion.
2. Simon was very excited. He did not express himself clearly.
3. Peter was slow. He could not write down all the main points.
4. Amy was careless. She did not take her hat with her when she left.
5. Kitty was very busy with her dancing lessons. She did not listen to the radio.
Work out the rule!
We often use "to be too + adjective(adjective,adverb) + to-infinitive" to express a negative result.
