clauses of result(结果状语从句)

请讲一讲结果状语从句的特点。

结果状语从句由连词 so, so that, that, such that, but (that), with the result that 和关联词 so...that, such...that 来引导。但是,在 so(主句)...that(从句)结构中,位于主句中的 so 可以省略。结果状语从句与目的状语从句的主要区别是:1. 目的状语从句一般使用情态动词,结果状语从句一般不使用情态动词;2. 结果状语从句只能放在句末;3. 结果状语从句常常用逗号与主句分开:

A. so

  1. He wasn't feeling well so he went to lie down on the couch. 他觉得难受,所以躺到长椅上。

  2. They wanted it, so they agreed to pay more than the normal price. 他们需要它,所以同意出超常的价钱。

B. so that

  1. One of her lungs is affected a little, so that she has to rest. 她的一个肺受了轻微感染,所以她必须休息。

  2. My pencil fell under my desk, so that I couldn't see it. 我的铅笔掉到书桌下面去了,所以我看不到它。

C. so... (that)

  1. She was so happy (that) she actually cried. 她是那么高兴,以致她真的哭了。

  2. That animal has so small a mouth that it can hardly eat anything. 这个动物嘴很小,以致几乎不能吃食。

  3. She was so angry (that) she couldn't speak. 她气得说不出话来。

D. (so)... that

I'm not a cow that you should expect me to eat grass! 我不是牛,所以你不应当指望我去吃草!

应当注意,当 so 位于句首时,主句要实行主谓语倒装(见 so 2^{2} ):

  1. So absurd was his manner that everyone stared. 他的举止那么可笑,以致大家都盯盯瞧着他。

  2. So terrible was the storm that whole roofs were ripped off. 暴风雨迅猛异常,以致整个屋顶都被吹掉了。

E. such... that

  1. It gave him such a shock that his face turned white. 这吓了他一跳,他的脸色都变白了。

  2. He showed such concern that people took him to be a relative. 他很关心别人,因而大家都把他当作亲人。

  3. The knot was fastened in such a way that it was impossible to undo. 这个结系得那么紧,根本解不开。

F. such... (that)

  1. It was such a boring speech (that) I fell asleep. 讲演枯燥无味, 听得我都睡着了。

  2. She is such a good lecturer (that) all her courses are full. 她的课讲得非常精彩,以至于她的每节课都座无虚席。

  3. He's such an idiot, I don't even ask him to help any more. 他是个大笨蛋,所以我甚至不再向他求助。

  4. It was such a lovely day we decided to go for a picnic. 天气非常好,我们决定到郊外去野餐。

that 相关联的、位于主句中的 such,除了用于 such a(…) + 可数名词,such(…) + 不可数名词和 such(…) + 复数名词等结构之外,还可单独使用。当 such 位于句首时,要实行主谓语倒装(即采用 CVS 语序)(见 such 1^{1} ):

  1. Such was the force of the explosion that all the windows were broken. 爆炸力非常大,以致所有的窗户都被震碎了。

  2. Such was the violence of the storm that boats were sinking all around us. 暴风雨如此狂暴,以致我们周围的船只都要沉没了。
