Unit 12 My childhood in the countryside
i have no such book. (= i haven’t such a book. )
b. 跟帶有形容詞的名詞時,既可以用such,也可以用so,但應(yīng)注意冠詞位置的不同,例如:
i have never seen such a tall man.
i have never seen so tall a man.
he is not such a clever boy as his brother.
he is not so clever a boy as his brother.
2)后接可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式或集合名詞,無論有無修飾語都用such,例如:
such things often happen in our daily life.
such people are dangerous.
whales are such smart animals that they communicate with each other.
he made such stupid mistakes that the teacher tore up the whole paper.
3)后接不可數(shù)名詞,無論有無修飾語都用such,例如:
did you ever see such weather?
you can’t drink such hot milk.
she made such rapid progress that she soon began to write articles in english.
4)當(dāng)復(fù)數(shù)名詞或集合名詞之前有few,many修飾;不可數(shù)名詞之前有l(wèi)ittle,much修飾時,用so,例如:
so many people / so many students / so few days
so much time / so much money / so little time等。
注意:上述詞組中的so實際上修飾名詞前的形容詞。試比較下列兩句:
①i have met many such people in my life.
②i didn’t expect to meet so many people there.
上述兩句中都有many,但卻分別用了such和so,其位置不同,因此含義也不同。在①中,many和such同時修飾后面的名詞;而②句中的so修飾的則是many。
5)當(dāng)many、much、little、few單獨作為名詞使用時,用so;例如:
there are so few that i can’t give you one.
this is the girl i have told you so much about.
so much for today.
6)such可以和all、some、other、another、one、no、many、any、few、several等詞同時修飾一個名詞,但它的位置通常是放在這些詞的后面,例如:
all such possibilities must be considered.
i need some such cards.
one such dictionary is enough for me.
we have had several such chinese paintings already.
i hope never to meet with another such accident.
6. in the middle of the pool there was a huge rock. 池子中間有一塊大巖石。
1) in the middle of ……
2) huge
知識鏈接:
huge ;big ; large ;great
這組形容詞都有“大的”之意,但用法不同。huge強調(diào)尺寸、體積“龐大”(指體積時,比large ,great所指的體積大),容量和數(shù)量“巨大”,不強調(diào)重量。如:
he lived in a huge house. 他住在一個很大的房子里。
big最通俗、常用,強調(diào)比正常程度、范圍及規(guī)模的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)大,常用于修飾人、物或數(shù)量。反義詞是little或 small。如:
they were all very big and strong. 他們個個高大強壯。
large強調(diào)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的“大”,可指“數(shù)量、容量、體積和面積的大”,比big正式,反義詞是 small。如:
shall we go to the largest island or the smallest one?我們?nèi)プ畲蟮膷u還是去最小的島?
great通常指抽象的事物。可表數(shù)量、距離和程度的大,修飾人時,作“偉大的”解。如:
