全面探究“so...that…和such...that…”的用法特点
so...that…和such...that…的用法特点In fact,his English in one of these articles was so good that Engels wrote him a letter and praised him for it.事实上,他的那些文章中有一篇是用很漂亮的英文写成的,以至于恩格斯为此写了一封信对他加以赞赏。
He made such rapid progress that before long he began to write articles in English for an American newspaper.他进步得很快,不久就开始用英文给美国一家报纸写文章了。
在上述两句中,that后面的分句都是结果状语从句,意思都是“(如此……)以至...…”。
由于其前的so是副词,such是形容词,因此这两个句型在构成上也有一定的差异。
现将两个句型的用法特点概述如下:
一、两种句型的结构形式
一)so...that…引导四种不同的句子结构:
1. so+形容词(表语)+ that从句。
例如:
It was so cold outside that we had to stop the gunce.外面天气太冷了。
我们不得不停止比赛。
The picture is so beautiful that everyone likes it.那幅画是那样好看,以至大家都喜欢它。
The weather is so fine that all the children want to go out toplay.天气如此好,所有的孩子都想出去玩一会儿。
2. so+形容词+a (n)+单数名词+that从句。
例如:
She made so good a meal that we all ate far too much.她做的饭菜那么好吃,结果我们都吃得太多了
It was so good an exhibiition that I went to see it several times.
展览是那么好,结果我就去看了好几次。
It was so fine a day yesterday that we all went out for a picnic.
昨天天气很好,我们都出去野餐了。
3.so+副词+that从句。
例如:
He did so well in the examination that everyone praised him.他考得那么好,人人都称赞他。
4. one(no, an, all, many, some, several,等) +such + 可数名词+that 从句。
例如:There are many such good books that I can not decide which one to choose. 有这么多的好书,我无法决定选择那一本。
He gave us several such examples about the phrase that we understood it pretty well.
关于这个短语,他举了好几个这样的例句,我们终于完全弄懂了。
二、两种句型的同义转换方式
有时可以在不变更原意的前提下,将“so...that...”和“such...that...”加以转换,以使语言变得更加丰富多彩。
例如:
1.她非常诚实,大家都信赖她。
She is so honest that everybody trusts her.
= She is such an honest girl that everybody trusts her.
= She is so honest a girl that everybody trusts her.
2.他作了一个那么精彩的讲演,以至于出席会议的人都钦佩他。
He made a speech so wonderfully that everyone present at the conference admired him.
=He made so wonderful a speech that everyone present at the conference admired him.
=He made such a wonderful speech that everyone present at the conference admired him.
除上面罗列的常见转换方式外,还有以下几种转换方式:
1. so many/much...that...可转换为such a lot of....that.....。
例如:
There are so many people in the room that we could not get in.
=There are such a lot of people in the room that we could not get in.(房间里人太多,我们进不去。
)
2. so few / little...that...可以转换为such a few / a little...that...。
例如:
So few people came that the meeting had to be put off:
=Such a few people came that the meeting had to be put off:
(人来得这么少,会议不得不推迟)
3. “so +that + 含有肯定意义的从句”可以转换为“…enough to……”。
例如:He is so old that he can go to school. = He is old enough to go to school.(他到了上学的年龄。
)
4. “so….that+ 含有否定意义的从句”可以转换为“not ….enough to (do sth)”或“too….to (do sth)”。
例如:
He is so young that he can not look after himself.= He is not old enough to look after himself. / He is too young to look after himself.(他年龄小,自己照顾不了自己。
)
5.可将so和such移至句首,再将主句的主、谓语倒装,以示强调。
例如:
It is so hot that we don't want to go out. = So hot is it that we don't want to go out.(天气太热,我们不想出去。
)
He made such an excellent speech that everyone admired him.
= Such an excellent speech did he make that everyone admired him.
(他作了如此精彩的演讲,人们都钦佩他。
)
