教材2 The Giant has been away for a long time. One day, he comes back and sees the children in his garden. "What are you doing here?" he shouts in a very angry voice. 3 The children run away. The Giant closes the gate and builds a high wall around the garden. Since then, he hasn't seen a child there. 4 Then spring comes. But in the Giant's garden, it is still winter. There are no birds or flowers. "I cannot understand why spring has not come since last year," says the Giant. "I hope the weather changes soon." (5) But spring never comes, nor summer. Autumn gives golden fruit to every other garden. But it gives none to the Giant's garden. (6) One morning, the Giant suddenly hears birds singing. “I haven’t heard that beautiful birdsong for a while. I believe spring has come at last.” The Giant jumps out of bed and looks outside. 7 The Giant sees a hole in the wall. Also, there is a little child in every tree. And the trees are so glad that they have covered themselves with flowers. The birds fly about and sing with joy. “How selfish I’ve been!” he says. “Now I know why spring wouldn’t come here.”

词典so that/so 【问】 You must leave here now ____ your mother can get some more rest. A. because B. though C. so that D. so(常州市,02中考-36) 答案为 C,能否选 D 呢? 【答】这道试题反映了我国英语教学和测试上的一个误区:不承认单独的 so 能引导目的状语从句。实际上,so 引导目的状语从句的例子俯拾即是。具体到上面的句子,用 so 反而更恰当(更符合口语的特点),见 so⁴˒⁵ 。

词典so... that/so... (that)/that 【问】 He was so young that you must excuse him. (Wilde) 像这种由关联词 so...that 引导的结果状语从句的句型, 我是很熟悉的。但是, 我不知道 so...that 是否可单用 so 或单用 that 来代替。请指教。 【答】在非正式语体中, so...that 中的 that 可以省略: 1. I am so busy over Folklore I have no time to write a letter. (Yeats) 我忙于写民间传说,以至于没有时间写信。 2. They were all so tired they could do nothing but yawn. (Mansfield) 他们都累得只会打呵欠了。 3. Her parents gave her so many toys she couldn't possibly play with them all. (CGEL) 她父母给了她那么多玩具,以至于她都玩不过来了。 4. It( = The snake) didn't seem to mind, but it was so heavy I staggered under the load. (RL, Book 1) 那条蛇好像没有在意,但是它很重,拿着这个重家伙,使我摇摇晃晃。 在疑问句和否定句中,可以单独使用 that 来代替 so... that(见 what ... that, who ... that)。但这是很正式的语体: 1. Do you know her intimately, that you presume to address her in such a casual manner? (CGEL) 你和她说话时态度这么随便,你是不是和她很熟? 2. They are not destitute that they need your help. (CGEL) 他们并不是贫穷得需要你的帮助。 3. What has happened that all of them look so excited? 到底发生了什么事使他们大家显得那么激动?

词典so that ² 【问】Someone removed his brushes so that he couldn't paint. 我无论如何也无法断定 so that 从句到底是目的状语从句, 还是结果状语从句。 【答】首先应当明确,目的状语从句和结果状语从句有时候确实是很难区分的。因为从语义上说,目的状语从句也是表示结果的,只是希望中的而尚未取得的结果,当目的一旦实现,也就变成结果了。从语法形式上说,两者都采用相同的连词 so that, so, that。你不能判定上面句中的 so that 从句是目的状语从句,还是结果状语从句,并不能说明你的英语水平低。因为语言学家们有时也无法判定这一点。这个句子容许有两种理解: (a)有人把他的画笔拿走了,以便使他不能作画。(Someone removed his brushes so that he wouldn't be able to paint.) (b)有人拿走了他的画笔,使得他不能作画了。(Someone removed his brushes so that he wasn't able to paint.) 与此相似,下列各句中的 so that 从句也是有歧义的: 1. We turned the radio up so that everyone could hear the announcement. (a)我们把收音机的声音调大了,以便大家都能听到这个声明。 (b)我们把收音机的声音调大了,结果大家都收听到了这个声明。 2. She burned his last letter, in which he had proposed to her, so that no one could ever discover the truth. (a)她把他向她求婚的最后一封来信给烧了,以便任何人都不能发现真情。(... so that no one would be able to...) (b)她把他向她求婚的最后一封来信给烧了,这样,谁也不可能发现真情了。(... so that no one was able to...) 请做下面的英语试题: 1. John shut everybody out of the kitchen ____ he could prepare his grand surprise for the party. A. which B. when C. so that D. as if(全国高考,02-30) 2.
