一、so是副詞,修飾形容詞和副詞;而such是形容詞,修飾名詞。 它們后面都接單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞,但詞序不同。
1.so的詞序?yàn)椋簊o+adj.+a(an)+n.
2.such的詞序?yàn)椋簊uch+a(an)+adj.+n.
它們可以表達(dá)同樣的意思,因此它們可以進(jìn)行同義改寫(xiě)。
。1)so nice a coat=such a nice coat 這么漂亮的一件外套
(2)so interesting a book=such an interesting book 那么有趣的一本書(shū)
注意:后面接復(fù)數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞時(shí),只能用such,而不能用so。例如:
。1)such beautiful flowers 這么美麗的.花
(2)such clever children 如此聰明的孩子
但是,復(fù)數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞前有many,few,much,little修飾時(shí),只能用so而不能用such,這是一種固定用法。例如:
。1)so many books 這么多的書(shū)
。2)so few people 這么少的人
(3)so much money 那么多的錢(qián)
。4)so little milk 那么少的牛奶
二、和that連用時(shí),意思基本一樣,但句型結(jié)構(gòu)不同。 so...that...句型結(jié)構(gòu)為:
1.so+adj.(adv.)+that...
2.so+adj.+a(an)+單數(shù)名詞+that...
3.so+many(few)+復(fù)數(shù)名詞+that...
4.so+much(little)+不可數(shù)名詞+that...例如:
。1)This book is so interesting that I have read it three times. 這本書(shū)如此有趣,我已經(jīng)看了三遍。
(2)He spoke so fast that we couldn’t understand him. 他說(shuō)得太快,我們都未能聽(tīng)懂他的話(huà)。
(3)It was so hot a day that nobody wanted to do anything. 天氣很熱,誰(shuí)都不想干活。
。4)There were so many people that we could hardly move on. 這么多人,我們簡(jiǎn)直無(wú)法繼續(xù)往前走。
5.such...that...句型結(jié)構(gòu)為:
6.such+a(an)+adj.+單數(shù)名詞+that...
7.such+adj.+復(fù)數(shù)名詞+that...
8.such+adj.+不可數(shù)名詞+that...例如:
。1)She is such a pretty girl that everyone likes her.她是個(gè)很可愛(ài)的小姑娘,大家都喜歡她。
。2)They are such delicious cakes that I want to eat another two. 這么可口的蛋糕,我還想再吃?xún)蓧K。
。3)It is such sweet milk that we all want to drink it. 這么香的牛奶,我們都想喝。
注意:由于so和such后跟單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞時(shí),可以換用,同樣so...that...與such...that...也可以進(jìn)行同義句改寫(xiě)。 如上文中:This book is so interesting that I have read it three times. 可改寫(xiě)成:This is such an interesting book that I have read it three times. It was so hot a day that nobody wanted to do anything.可改寫(xiě)成:It was such a hot day that nobody wanted to do anything.
三、so與that可以直接構(gòu)成詞組so that, 引導(dǎo)目的狀語(yǔ)從句和結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句, 表示“以便、以至”的意思。例如:
He worked hard so that he could pass theexams.為了能通過(guò)考試,他學(xué)習(xí)很認(rèn)真。(但such沒(méi)有這種用法。)
