I know only too well (我知道得很清楚。) 用only too来强调know,表示知道得非常彻底。only too表示非常,很的意思,但在语气上比only too程度强,又表示太过了的含义,所以有时候会有故意说反话的含义。
对话一: A:I'm sorry you failed the test. (你考试没通过,我很遗憾。)
B:I'm just so upset with myself. (我真生我自己的气。) A:I know only too well how you feel. (我很了解你现在的心情。) B:You do? (你知道?) A:Sure,I've failed my tests ,too. (当然,我也没考及格。) B:Then you do know how I feel. (那么你真的知道我的感受啦。)
对话二: A:Tom is so down that he won't talk to anyone. (汤姆好沮丧,他不跟任何人讲话。) B:I know only too well what that's like. (我很能理解那种感觉。) A:What do you mean? (什么意思?) B:I was very sad when I was laid off last year. (去年当我被解雇时我也如此悲伤。)
每日一句: I am sorry you failed the test. (你考试没通过,我很遗憾。) #当你听到一件不辛的消息,你要向对方表示你的关怀时,可以用I'm sorry这个句型,下面接对方所遇到的不辛事件。
For example: I'm sorry you got laid off. (你被解雇一事,我感到很遗憾。) I'm sorry you didn't pass the test. (你考试没通过,我感到很遗憾。)
