(7)so+many/few(+复数名词)+that:There are so many picture-story books that the boy won't leave.有那么多连环画书,小孩都不想离开了。

[1]2. 表示“如此……以致……”的“so...that...”和“such... that...”均可引导结果状语从句,其中的such 是形容词,修饰名词;so 是副词,修饰形容词或副词,具体的搭配形式是:(1)“so+adj./adv.+that”,“so+adj.(+a/an)+n.+that”;(2)“such(+a/an)(+adj.)+n.+that”。
例如:He speaks so fast that no one can catch him. 他说话太快,无人听得明白。
There is so rapid an increase in population that a food shortage is caused. 人口增长如此迅速,以致造成了粮食短缺。
Our country has so much coal that she can export large quantities. 我们国家的煤炭非常丰富,可以大量出口。
(so与表示数量的代词many,few,much,little等连用已经形成固定搭配,这些场合下不能换用such的对应结构表示)The shop sells so expensive goods that I want to buy nothing in it. 这家商店出售的货物价格昂贵,以致我在里面不想购买任何东西。
He’s such a good person that we mustn’t blame him. 他是这样好的人,我们不能怪他。
They are such fine teachers that we all hold them in great respect. 他们是非常好的老师,我们对他们极为尊敬。
It is such nice weather that I would like to go to the beach. 天气如此之好,我想去海滩。
如果结果状语从句的主语与主句的主语相同,可用so (adj./adv) as to取代该结果状语从句,注意体会以下例句:The weather was bad, so as to make a good photo hard to take. 天气恶劣,以致难以拍出来好照片。
He was so kind as to phone for a taxi for the patient. 他是如此热心,以至于他为病人打电话叫了出租车。
How could you be so stupid as to believe him? 你怎么这么笨,竟相信了他的话?在结果状语从句主从句主语一致的情况下,可省去从句主语,从句谓语变非谓语。
这时,前面的so ...就要换一个形式来陈述。
so是中性程度副词,如果从句是肯定句,那么so 就要换为enough。
如果从句是否定句,那么so就要换成too。
要注意的是:enough只能在所修饰词的后面。
例:He is so old that he can go to school alone.省略式为:He is old enough to go to school alone.练习考题解析[考题1] Pop music is such an important part of society ____ it has even influence our language. (2007上海)A. asB. thatC. whichD. where[答案] B[解析] 下划线处之后表示结果,应选用与前面的such连用引导结果状语从句的that。
