三、难句透视
1.They are novels,plays and poems that were written a long time ago and were so well written and wellreceived that people still read them today.
经典文学作品是很久以前创作的小说、戏剧和诗歌,写得很好,很受欢迎,直至今日人们仍然在阅读这些作品。
【剖析】
主句为:they are novels,plays and poems."that were written a long time ago and were so well...today"为定语从句,修饰先行词novels,plays and poems。在定语从句中,第一个and后承前省略了that。在这一部分中,又出现了"...so well written and well received that people still read them today."这一结果状语从句。
①so...that...如此......以至于......
He was so excited that he couldn't speak.
他兴奋得连话都说不出来。
We have so arranged matters that one of us is always on duty.
我们已做好安排使得每天总有我们中的一人在值班。
②如果前后句子主语一致,也可用so...as to...替换。
The window are so small as not to admit much light at all.
窗户很小,光线不能充分透进来。
【归纳】
(1)so...that...常用的句型有:
so+adj./adv.+that从句
so+adj.+a/an+可数名词单数+that从句
so+many/few+可数名词复数+that从句
so+much/little(少)+不可数名词+that从句
相似的用法有;
such+a/an+adj.+单数可数名词+that从句
such+adj.+复数可数名词+that从句
such+adj.+不可数名词+that从句
(2)so...that...句型中,so可置于句首,这时句子要把助动词提到主语之前,构成部分倒装。
