19.5 结果状语从句
结果状语从句常由so… that或such…that引导,掌握这两个句型,首先要了解so和such与其后的词的搭配规律。
比较:so和 such
其规律由so与such的不同词性决定。such是形容词,修饰名词或名词词组,so是副词,只能修饰形容词或副词。 so还可与表示数量的形容词many,few,much,little连用,形成固定搭配。
so foolish,such a fool
so nice a flower,such a nice flower
so many/few flowers,such nice flowers
so much/little money,such rapid progress
so many people,such a lot of people
(so many已成固定搭配,a lot of虽相当于 many,但a lot of为名词性的,只能用such搭配。)
so…that与such…that之间的转换既为so与such之间的转换。
