From the word’s history

A variant of tun 'cask', influenced by Old French tonne; originally the contents of a tun.

源自 tun「大酒桶」，受古法文 tonne 影響；原指一桶的量。

Wiktionary

A ton is already a huge weight; pile up several and you have an amount nobody would bother measuring. Used as an adverb it drops the weighing entirely and just says 'by a lot' — He's tons better today.

可以想成：一噸已經很重了，好幾噸就是重到沒人想去量。這個字當副詞用的時候，重量的意思整個掉光，只剩下「差很多、多很多」的份量感，例如 He's tons better today（他今天好多了）。它是用誇張的重量來表達程度，屬於口語的說法。

意思相近

muchfarwayloads

意思相反

slightlya little
