2008年职称英语考试珍藏句型分析宝典(四十四)

　　... so ... that ...
　　結構︰…so+形容詞/副詞+that…
　　說明︰此句型意為“如此…以致…”。此為表示因果關係的<連接詞片語>，引導<副詞子句>。so 後也可接單數<可數名詞>，即“so+<形容詞>+a+<名詞>+that…”。so 所引導的詞類置於句首時，要採用倒裝句構，如例句5和6。該句型與“too ... to ...”句型可以互相改寫，如例句1所示。

　　so many/few ... that ...
　　結構︰so many/few+複數名詞+that…
　　說明︰此句型意為“如此多/少的…以致…”。若是不可數名詞，則用“so much/little+不可數名詞+that…”。此為表示因果關係的<連接詞片語>，引導<副詞子句>。so 可修飾表數量的<形容詞> many，much，few，little。so 所引導的詞類置於句首時，要採用倒裝句構。
