ｓｏ（ｓｕｃｈ）．．．ｔｈａｔ句型結構及轉換

8B Unit 4的語法內容出現了so...that 和such...that句型，學習這兩個句型時，我們應該注意些什么呢？

so (such)...that句型常用來引導結果狀語從句。正確使用so和such是掌握so (such)...that句型的關鍵。請看so和such與其后的搭配有什么規律。

such a foolso foolish

such an old manso old a man

such beautiful flowersso many (few) flowers

such dirty water so much (little) water

不難看出，such為形容詞，修飾名詞或名詞詞組；so為副詞，修飾形容詞或副詞。so也可以用在單數可數名詞前，但不定冠詞要放在形容詞之后。另外，so還可以與表示數量的形容詞many、much、few、little連用，形成固定搭配。現在我們來看一下so (such)...that句型的結構與轉換。

一、句型結構

1. so...that

1) so＋形容詞＋that從句。如：

He is so weak that he can’t walk any longer.

2) so＋副詞＋that從句。如：

He wrote so quickly that he finished his work in time.

3) so＋few (many)＋可數名詞＋that從句。如：

He made so many mistakes that Mr Li was angry.

4) so＋little (much)＋不可數名詞＋that從句。如：

We have so little money that we can’t buy a car.

5) so＋形容詞＋a (an)＋單數可數名詞＋that從句。如：

He is so wise a man that we all love him.

2. such...that

1) such＋a (an)＋可數名詞＋that從句。如：

It was such a good film that we all went to see it.

2) such＋復數名詞＋that從句。如：

He bought such small tomatoes that his mother was unhappy.

3) such＋不可數名詞＋that從句。如：

They made such rapid progress that their teacher was glad.

二、句型轉換

1. so...that與such...that句型之間可以互相轉換。如：

The boy is so young that he can’t go to school.

→He is such a young boy that he can’t go to school.

→He is so young a boy that he can’t go to school.

2. 如果主、從句的主語一致，so (such)...that結構可以轉換成so (such)...as to do sth.結構。如：

He walked so fast that he caught the early bus.

→He walked so fast as to catch the early bus.

He is such a fool that he can’t understand me.

→He is such a fool as not to understand me.

3.在so...that結構中，如果that從句為肯定句，可以轉換成enough to do sth.形式。如：

He is so clever that he learns English well.

→He is clever enough to learn English well.

在so...that結構中，如果主、從句的主語一致，而that從句為否定句時，可以轉換成too...to或not＋原形容詞 (副詞)的反義詞+enough+to do sth.句型，如果主、從句的主語不一致，可在不定式前加for sb.。如：

He came to school so late that he couldn’t see me.

→He came to school too late to see me.

→He came to school not early enough to see me.

The book is so expensive that we can’t buy it.

→The book is too expensive for us to buy it.

→The book is not cheap enough for us to buy it.
