当名词前有many,much,few或little等词修饰时,要用so而不用such。
e.g. There are so many / few people in the hall.
大厅有这么多/这么少的人。
You have so much / little homework today.
你今天有这么多/这么少的作业。
“such + a / an +形容词+可数名词单数形式”相当于“so +形容词+a / an +可数名词单数形式”,表示“如此……的一个……”。
e.g. She is such a lovely girl. = She is so lovely a girl.
她是这个如此可爱的女孩。
选用such或so填空。
1. The man told us ____ funny a story.
