第17练 so... that...与such…that结构
so... that意为"如此……以至于",引导表示结果的状语从句。so是副词,用以修饰其后的形容词或副词,说明其程度的大小。so... that引导的结果状语从句有如下四种结构:
(1)so+形容词/副词+that从句
The village is so small that it cannot be shown in the map. 这村子太小,所以地图上没有。
(2)so+形容词+a/an+单数名词+that从句
It was so hot a day that they all went swimming. 天是那么的热以至于他们都去游泳了。
(3)so+many/few+复数名词+that从句
I have had so many falls that I am black and blue all over. 我摔了许多跤,以至于浑身青一块,紫一块。
(4)so+much/little+不可数名词+that从句
I had so little money then that I couldn’t even afford a used car. 我当时囊中羞涩,甚至连一辆二手车都买不起。
【知识拓展】
(1)当that从句是否定结构,that从句的主语与主句的主语相同时,可用too...to...或"be not +形容词 + enough to do sth."结构替换。需要注意的是,"be not + 形容词 + enough to do sth."中的形容词,应是so...that结构中形容词的反义词。
His brother is so young that he can’t join the army.
=His brother is too young to join the army.
=His brother is not old enough to join the army.
他弟弟太小了,不能参军。(2)当that从句是否定结构,that从句的主语与主句的主语不相同时,可用too... for sb. to do sth.替换。

=The suit was too expensive for me to buy.

such (…) that只用来引导结果状语从句。such后面可以接单数可数名词,复数可数名词,不可数名词。such放在句首,主谓要倒装。
