一、结果状语从句
表示主句的动作所引起的结果,可以用 so... that…, such... that... 等引导。但是 so...
that... 和 such… that... 引导结果状语从句时,在结构上有区别:
Grammar
1.在 so... that… 结构中,so 是副词,与形容词或
副词连用,其结构是 so+adj.(adv.)+ that十从句。
他跑得那么快,我赶不上他。
He ran so fast that I couldn’t catch up with him. (fast adv.)
我太困了,眼睛几乎睁不开了。
I am so sleepy that I can hardly keep my
eyes open. (sleepy adj.)
2. 在 such... that... 结构中,such 是形容词,后跟可数名词或不可数名词;名词前可以带形容词,也可以不带。如果其后是单数可数名词,前面需加不定冠词 a 或 an。
他是一个诚实的孩子,大家都很喜欢他。
He is such an honest boy that everybody likes him.
他的胳膊很长,以至于他几乎能碰到天花板了。
He had such long arms that he could almost touch the ceiling.
3.当单数名词前有形容词时,既可以用 so,也可
以用 such,但不定冠词的位置却有所不同。
这是一次很重要的会议,你一定要参加。
This is such an important meeting that youshould attend.
= This is so important a meeting that you should attend.
二、让步状语从句
1. although 常用于句首,较正式。它引导的让
步状语从句用正常语序,不可倒装。
2. though 位置灵活,可放在句首、句中或句末,
较口语化。它引导的让步状语从句可用部分倒装。

Though/Although it was raining, we went there.
这份工作很辛苦,但是我喜欢。
It’s hard work. I enjoy it, though.

Although/Though he has a lot of money, yet/still he is unhappy.
