very much 可以修饰名词吗

好像 very much 是用于修饰动词、形容词、副词、介词短语等的,如:

Thank you very much indeed. 真是太感谢你了。

The men were very much like my father. 那些人很像我的父亲。

We’re very much interested in the work. 我们对这项工作感兴趣。

Since her husband’s death, she has been very much alone. 自从丈夫去世后,她非常孤单。

但是下面一句,very much 修饰名词了,请问这样用也对吗?

There’s never very much news on Sundays. 星期日从来就没有多少新闻。

你说的很对。我认为,既然much可以修饰不可数名词,那么very much当然也可以(该词组 very 又修饰 much)。例如:
The plants do not require very much water.这些植物不需要太多的水分。
Also, they don't have to eat very much food because they use so little energy moving around.此外,它们移动时只消耗一点点精力,所以不必吃太多食物。
There was one small barred window, too small to let very much air in or out. 装有铁条的小窗户倒是有一扇,但小得空气都几乎无法进出。
There’s never very much news on Sundays. 星期日从来就没有多少新闻。
注意:very much这个用法多见于否定句中。
Nokia fell down the list because it hasn't provided very much information about its green energy goals. 诺基亚的排名落后是,因为未提供绿能目标足够的资讯。
Even if the problem is recreated, you might not be able to collect very much information about the problem. 即使再次出现这个问题,您也很难搜集到关于该问题的详细信息。
He found out that they didn't know enough about food and health, and they didn't have very much money to spend.他发现许多他们不了解关于食品和健康的问题,并且他们没有足够的钱。
Once again, savings accounts in the United States don't pay very much money.强调一下,在美国开通储蓄账号不会花很多钱。

谢谢刘老师和罗老师的解答,刘老师的解答让我明白了 very much 可以修饰名词,而且主要用于否定句;而罗老师的解答则让我打开了思路,让我明白了除 very much 外,其实还有 so much, too much 等也是属于同样的情况。看到两位老师的解答,收获很多,谢谢两位老师!

两位老师的解答都很好,但网站只能让我采纳一位老师的,我就按时间顺序采纳刘老师的了,请罗老师原谅!再次谢谢两位老师!

Matthew朋友您好,您这个问题实际上应该是much的问题:much 用作限定词后面修饰不可数名词,但是在前面可以加上very, so, too 副词用来加强语气。也就是说,在您给的例句中,much修饰了不可数名词news, very又修饰了much。

再给几个摘自《麦克米伦高阶》以及《最新高级英汉词典》的例句:
We can’t talk here. There’s too much noise. 我们没法在这里交谈。太吵了。
He spent so much time with Claudia, it seemed as if they were never apart. 他花那么多时间和克劳迪娅在一起,他们好像从来没有分开过。
I am sorry to give you so much trouble. 我这样麻烦您真对不起。

I’ve got too much work to do. 我要干的事情太多了。
