so…that… 如此……以致于…… 引导结果状语从句
so后跟形容词或副词，即“so+形容词 / 副词+that从句”
e.g. Mike walked so fast that I couldn’t follow him.
It is so expensive a restaurant that I have never been there.
I was so careless that I forgot to lock the door just now.
结果状语从句
so修饰形容词或副词, such修饰名词。
e.g. He was so weak that he could hardly stand up.
Everything happened so quickly that I hadn’t time to think.
He came to such a sudden stop that we almost hit him.
I’d put on such a lot of weight that I couldn’t get into
my trousers.
such…that & so…that
such修饰的单数可数名词前有形容词时，其结构为：
“such + a(n) + 形容词 +单数可数名词 + that从句”
so 的相关结构为：
“so + 形容词 + a(n) +单数可数名词 + that从句”
e.g. She is such a lovely girl that all her classmates like her.
=She is so lovely a girl that all her classmates like her.
It’s such a tiny kitchen that I don’t have to do much to keep it clean.
=It’s so tiny a kitchen that I don’t have to do much to keep it clean.
【注意】
如果名词前有表示数量多少的词，如 many, few, much,
little等修饰时，用so不用such。
e.g. There were so many people in the park that we had to decide to return home.
公园里这么多人，我们只好决定回家。
I paid so little attention to him that I didn’t know what he was doing.
过去我对他关注太少，都不知他做什么的。
so & such口诀
名词such, 形副so，多多少少也用so；
little属特殊，“小”用such，“少”用so。
little：小的，修饰名词，其前面仍须用such, 而不用so。
e.g. They are such little children that they can’t do anything.
这些孩子太小了，做不了什么事。
