辨析such…that…和so…that…

 
such…that…与so…that…都可以用来引导结果状语从句，意为“如此……以致……”。

（1）such是形容词，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。如果其后是单数可数名词，前面需加不定冠词a或an。因此，such…that…的句型结构可分为以下三种：

①such+a（n）（+adj.）+单数可数名词+that从句。如：

She is such a good teacher that all of us love and respect her.她是一位很好的老师，我们都敬爱她。

Table tennis is such an interesting game that people all over the world play it.乒乓球是一项很有趣的运动，以致全世界的人都参加这项运动。

②such（+adj.）+复数可数名词+that从句。如：

They are such interesting books that I want to read them once more.这些书非常有趣，我想再读一遍。

③such（adj.）+不可数名词+that从句。如：

  It was such bad weather that I had to stay at home.天气太坏，以致我不得不呆在家里。

（2）so是副词，与形容词或副词连用，其结构是：so+adj.（adv.）+that从句。如：

 He ran so fast that I couldn’t catch up with him.他跑得那么快，我赶不上他。

   I am so sleepy that I can hardly keep my eyes open.我太瞌睡了，眼睛几乎睁不开了。

注意：①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。如：、

   There were so many people in the street watching the fire that firefighters could not get close to the building.街上围观大火的人太多了，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，也可用such，但不定冠词的位置却有所不同。如：

  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，你一定要参加。
