Chapter 7 The Phantom of the Opera
結果狀語從句常由so… that 或 such…that引導,掌握這兩個句型,首先要了解so 和 such與其后的詞的搭配規律。
比較:so和 such
其規律由so與such的不同詞性決定。such 是形容詞,修飾名詞或名詞詞組,so 是副詞,只能修飾形容詞或副詞。 so 還可與表示數量的形容詞many, few, much, little連用,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 雖相當于 many,但 a lot of 為名詞性的,只能用such搭配。)
so…that與such…that之間的轉換既為 so與such之間的轉換。
the boy is so young that he can't go to school.
he is such a young boy that he can't go to school
本課講的語法主要是形容詞的一些句型,句法:be + adj. +that/prep.
⑴ sb. +is +adj. +that
形容詞后面跟從句相當于一個賓語從句,這一類形容詞多數是表示人的情緒或是感受的。這一類詞包括:afraid, glad, sad , certain , happy, sorry, unaware, surprised, frightened, pleased, sure, upset等等。
①i was pleased that i spent such a good time here.
我非常高興在這里度過了美好的時光。
②he is certain that we will succeed in doing that.
他堅信我們能夠成功的做成這件事情。
(2)it +is + adj.+ that
這是一種特殊的主語從句。 因為主語較長, 所以用it 做形式主語, 保持句子的平衡。
①it is important that we should help people who suffered this tsunami.
我們應當幫助在海嘯中受災的人們, 這一點是非常重要的。
②it is likely that he will get considerable lucky money during the spring festival.
他很可能春節這段時間得到一大筆壓歲錢。
