一、such that 的用法
用法:表示「如此…以致於」
- such 修飾名詞
- that 引導結果狀語從句
- 強調程度導致結果
結構:
such + (a/an) + 形容詞 + 名詞 + that + 結果句
例句:
It was such a difficult test that I failed.
- 翻譯:這是如此困難的考試,以致於我不及格。
- such 修飾名詞 “test”
He told such funny jokes that everyone laughed.
- 翻譯:他講的笑話如此搞笑,以致於每個人都笑了。
- such 修飾名詞 “jokes”
They are such good friends that they share everything.
- 翻譯:他們是如此好的朋友,以致於什麼都分享。
- such 修飾名詞 “friends”
二、so that 的用法
有兩個完全不同的意思:
用法1:目的(以便)
主句 + so that + 目的句(常有情態動詞)
例句:
- I study hard so that I can pass the exam.
- 翻譯:我努力學習以便能通過考試。
- 表達目的
用法2:結果(結果是)
主句, + so that + 結果句
例句:
- He didn’t study, so that he failed the exam.
- 翻譯:他沒學習,結果考試不及格。
- 表達結果(但較少用)
三、核心區別
| 特點 | such that | so that |
|---|---|---|
| 修飾對象 | 修飾名詞 | 連接兩個句子 |
| 主要意思 | 如此…以致於(強調程度→結果) | 1. 以便(目的) 2. 結果是(結果) |
| 結構 | such + 名詞 + that | 完整句 + so that + 完整句 |
| 能否省略that | ❌ 不能 | ⚠️ 有時可以省略 |
四、⚠️ 為什麼不能互換?
例子1:
✅ such that(正確)
- It was such a good movie that I watched it twice.
- (這電影如此好,以致於我看了兩次。)
- such 修飾名詞 “movie”
❌ so that(錯誤)
It was so that a good movie I watched it twice.- 語法完全錯誤!
✅ 如果要用 so…that:
- The movie was so good that I watched it twice.
- so 修飾形容詞 “good”(不是名詞)
例子2:
✅ so that(目的)
- I’m saving money so that I can buy a car.
- (我在存錢以便能買車。)
- 表達目的
❌ such that(不適用)
I’m saving money such that I can buy a car.- 完全不符合 such that 的用法
例子3:
✅ such that
- He has such bad eyesight that he needs glasses.
- (他視力如此差,以致於需要戴眼鏡。)
- such 修飾名詞 “eyesight”
❌ so that(表示目的,意思完全不同)
- He has bad eyesight so that he needs glasses.
- 語法上勉強可以,但意思變成「他有壞視力是為了需要眼鏡」?
- 邏輯不通!
五、什麼時候可能混淆?
只有在表示「程度→結果」時,可以用:
- such…that(修飾名詞)
- so…that(修飾形容詞/副詞)
但不能用 so that!
例子:
| 句型 | 例句 | 正確性 |
|---|---|---|
| such…that | It was such a hot day that we went swimming. | ✅ |
| so…that | It was so hot that we went swimming. | ✅ |
| so that | ❌ 意思變成「為了去游泳所以天氣熱」?邏輯錯誤! |
六、📊 三種結構對比
表示「程度→結果」時:
1️⃣ such + 名詞 + that
- He made such a big mistake that he got fired.
- (他犯了如此大的錯誤,以致於被炒了。)
2️⃣ so + 形容詞/副詞 + that
- His mistake was so big that he got fired.
- (他的錯誤如此大,以致於被炒了。)
3️⃣ so that(表示目的/結果)
- 目的:He worked carefully so that he wouldn’t make mistakes.
- (他小心工作以免犯錯。)
- 結果:He didn’t work carefully, so that he made mistakes.
- (他工作不小心,結果犯了錯。)← 較少用,更常說 “so he made mistakes”
七、✅ 正確用法總結
such that 只有一個用法:
such + (a/an) + 形容詞 + 名詞 + that + 結果
= 如此…的(名詞)以致於…
so that 有兩個用法:
目的:動詞 + so that + can/could/will/would…
= 為了、以便結果:句子, so that + 結果句
= 結果是(較少用)
