结果状语从句是英语学科中的一个句型。从句常由so… that或such…that引导。掌握这两个句型,首先要了解so 和 such与其后的词的搭配规律。
结果状语从句的从句部分是补充说明主句中谓语动词发生的结果的,通常位于主句之后。结果从句中通常不用情态助动词,但must,can,could除外。such用在(形容词)名词之前;而so要用在形容词/副词之前,so或that有时会省略掉。以下逐一介绍高考中常见的引导结果状语从句的词:
一、so that可以引导目的状语从句, 也可以引导结果状语从句。
1.so+形容词+that
The wind was so strong that he could hardly move forward.
风刮得如此猛烈,以致他几乎是寸步难行。
2.so+副词+that
The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell into the water.
球重重地打在了他身上,使他几乎落到水里去。
3.so+形容词+a+单数名词+that
It was so hot a day that they wanted to go swimming.
天那么热,他们想去游泳。
4.so+many/few(+复数名词)+that
There are so many picture-story books that the boy won't leave.
有那么多连环画书,小孩都不想离开了。
5.so+much/little+单数不可数名词)+that
There is so much contradictory advice about exercising that you become confused.
对于锻炼有那么多互相矛盾的意见,以致都把你给弄糊涂了。
二、表示“如此……以致……”的“so...that...”和“such... that...”均可引导结果状语从句, 其中的such 是形容词, 修饰名词; so 是副词, 修饰形容词或副词, 具体的搭配形式是:
(1)“so+adj./adv.+that”, “so+adj.(+a/an)+n.+that”;
(2)“such(+a/an)(+adj.)+n.+that”。
例如:Our country has so much coal that she can export large quantities.
我们国家的煤炭非常丰富, 可以大量出口。
(so与表示数量的代词many, few, much, little等连用已经形成固定搭配, 这些场合下不能换用such的对应结构表示)
