too adv.也；太；而且；很 (1) 你也去的话我就去。(2) 现在起床还太早。(3) 她上星期把腿摔断了，而且还是在她生日那一天！(4) 我很明白自己惹怒了她。 The two versions of too should not be confused with to (or two), but all three words came from the same origin, the Old English word to, which meant "in the direction of." If someone said "I want to go to the joust," she was literally saying, "I want to go in the direction of the joust," and if you said, "I want to go to the joust, too," you were literally saying, "I want to go in the direction of the person going in the direction of the joust." You can begin to see why short words like to and too are handy.
