2. ________ they loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them.

Step 2 Grammar
结果状语从句和让步状语从句
结果状语从句
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.
辨析
such…that & so…that
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.
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。
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。
2. 让步状语从句
although / though引导的让步状语从句, 表示“尽管”。
e.g. I can look after myself, although it won’t be easy for me.
我还是可以照顾自己的, 虽然这对我来说不容易。
Although Kevin is alone, he is very happy at first.
尽管凯文独自一人(在家), 但他刚开始还是挺高兴的。
让步状语从句也可以由though引导, 表示表示“尽管……, (但是)……”。在一般情况下, 可以与由although引导的让步状语从句互换使用。在口语中, though较为常用。
e.g. He went on fighting, though he was wounded.
尽管受了伤, 他还是继续战斗。
注意: although与but通常不能同时使用。
e.g. I do not often make dinner, but I can cook.
我不经常做饭, 但是我会做。
Although I do not often make dinner, I can cook.
虽然我不经常做饭, 但是我会做。
