语法突破
although 和 though 引导的让步状语从句
解析
让步状语从句表示即便出现从句中的情况,主句动作仍然会发生,有“退一步说·····.”的意思。连词although/though常用来引导让步状语从句,意为“尽管,虽然,即使”,一般位于句首或句中,所引导的从句不能与并列连词but,and,so等连用,但可与yet,still等连用。
Although it was expensive, we still decided to buy it.
虽然它很贵,但我们还是决定买它。
Though we only stayed there for a few days,we had a good time.虽然我们只在那里待了几天,但我们玩得很愉快。
提醒
though除了作连词外,还可以作副词,表示“可是,然而”,但although不可以。
It was hard work. I enjoyed it,though.
这是项艰苦的工作,然而我喜欢。
② so...that和 such...that引导的结果状语从句
解析结果状语从句用来补充说明主句动作发生所带来的结果。so...that与such...that意为“如此······以至于”,都可以用来引导结果状语从句。
(1)so是副词,与形容词或副词连用。其结构是“so+形容词/副词+that从句”。
He ran so fast that I couldn't catch up with him.他跑得如此快以至于我追赶不上他。
I am so sleepy that I can hardly keep my eyes open.我如此困倦以至于我的眼睛几乎睁不开。
(2)such是限定词,它所修饰的名词可以是可数名词,也可以是不可数名词;名词前面可以带形容词,也可以不带。如果其后是可数名词单数,需加不定冠词a或an。因此,such...that的句型结构可分为以下三种:①词+可数名词单数+that s u c h + a ( n ) + 形从句
Table tennis is such an interesting sport that people all over the world like it.
乒乓球是一项如此有趣的运动以至于全世界的人都喜爱它。
②such+形容词+可数名词复数+that从句
They are such interesting books that I want to read them once more.
这些书是如此有趣以至于我想把它们再读一遍。
③such+形容词+不可数名词+that从句
It was such bad weather that I had to stay at home.天气如此糟糕以至于我不得不待在家里。
注意当名词前面有many,much,few,little等表示数量多少的限定词时,应该用so,而不能用such。
There were so many people in the street watching the fire that firemen could not get close to the building.
街上围观大火的人是如此多以至于消防队员无法靠近大楼。
②当单数名词前有形容词时,既可用so,又可用such,但是不定冠词的位置有所不同。This is such an important meeting that you should attend it.
=This is so important a meeting that you should attend it.
这是一次很重要的会议,你应该参加。
so that 引导的目的状语从句
解析 目的状语从句用以说明主句动作的目的。so that意为“以便,为了”,常用来引导目的状语从句,相当于in order that,从句谓语前常用情态动词may/might,can/could,should,would等;主从句间连接紧凑,不用逗号相隔。
My old father began to study computer at the age of sixty so that (=in order that) he might keep up with times.
我的老父亲60岁时开始学习电脑以便跟上时代(的步伐)。
He wrote down my address so that(=in order that) he can remember it.
