Module 4 状语从句(3):结果状语从句和让步状语从句
1. so... that... 引导的结果状语从句
so... that... 结构的意思是"太……以致于……"。so后面接形容词或副词,表示程度,that后接从句表示这一程度造成的影响或结果。例如:
We were so noisy that our next-door neighbour came to complain. 我们太吵了,以致隔壁邻居前来抱怨。
I was so careless that I forgot something important. 我真是粗心,以致忘记了重要事情。
He speaks so fast that I cannot understand him. 他说话太快了,以致我没理解他的意思。
so... that... 结构还可以与many/few + 可数名词或much/little + 不可数名词连用。例如:
There were so many people that we couldn't get in. 人太多了,我们进不去。
He has so little money that he can't buy the book. 他的钱太少了,买不起这本书。
2. 让步状语从句
本模块中还出现了由 although 引导的让步状语从句,表示"尽管……,(但是)……"。例如:
I can look after myself, although it won't be easy for me. 我还是可以照顾自己的,虽然这对我来说并不容易。
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"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。例如:
He went on fighting, though he was wounded. 尽管受了伤,他还是继续战斗。
让步状语从句还可以由even if/even though引导,表示"即使……",语气比although和though更强。例如:
I'll help you even if I'm very busy. 即使我很忙,我也会帮助你。
Even though it was raining, we went for a walk. 即使在下雨,我们还是去散步了。
3. 重要注意事项
注意:汉语中"虽然/尽管"与"但是"往往同时使用,但在英语中却不是这样。我们来看两个例句:
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。
对比这两个句子可以看出,在英语中,although与but通常是不能同时使用的。我们要注意英语的语法和表达方式,避免受汉语句法结构的影响。
同样地,because和so也不能在同一句子中同时使用。例如:
错误:Because it was raining, so we stayed at home.
正确:Because it was raining, we stayed at home. 或 It was raining, so we stayed at home.
