=The question is easy enough for me to workout. 这个问题很简单，我能算出来。
（2）当that从句是否定结构
①当that从句是否定结构，that从句的主语与主句的主语相同时，可与 too...to“be not+形容词+ enough to do sth.”结构互换。需要注意的是，“be not+形容词+enough to do sth.”中的形容词是so...that结构中形容词的反义词。
His brother is so young that he can't go to school.
=His brother is too young to go to school.
=His brother is not old enough to go to school.
他弟弟太小了，不能去上学。
②当that从句是否定结构，且that从句的主语与主句的主语不相同时，要用too.... for sb. to...结构替换。
The dress was so expensive that I could not buy it.
=The dress was too expensive for me to buy. 这条连衣裙太贵了，我不能买了。
3. so...that结构中的“so+形容词/副词”可以提至句首，以加强语气，但要注意用倒装语序。
So bright was the moon that flowers were bright as in the day. 在如此明亮的月光下，花儿像在白天一样鲜艳。

范文赏析
Dear Tom,
I'm very happy that you are interested in traditional Chinese stories. Well, let me tell you a famous one with the name "Sima Guang hit the tank."
Long time ago, there was a boy named Sima Guang, who is known for his smartness. One day, Sima Guang was playing hide-and-seek with his friends in the garden. Suddenly, a child fell into a tank full of water. Some children were frightened to cry and the others ran to ask for help. However, Sima Guang was different from them. He thought it over, picked up a stone and threw it at the tank. Bond! The bank was broken, and the child was saved.
I would appreciate it if you like the story and share your ideas with me.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
