原句中 where we wish to enjoy and understand literature 是定语从句,修饰先行词point。当point 作先行词,且定语从句中缺少地点状语时,用关系副词where引导定语从句。

句型公式:too...to...太……而不能……
解读
be too +adj.+ to do sth. 太……而不能做某事,表示否定意义。若在该句式中使用形容词kind、
ready、anxious、glad、pleased、delighted、easy、willing、eager等,则往往不表示否定意义,此时
too前通常有much、only、simply、just等词修饰,too相当于very,该结构表示肯定。
