1、其規律由so與such的不同詞性決定。so 還可與表示數量的形容詞many,few,much, little(little表示“小”時除外)連用,形成固定搭配。
so + adj. such + a(n) +adj.+ n.
so + adj. + a(n) + n. such+adj + n. (pl.)
so +many/ few+ adj. + n. (pl.) such+adj +n. (pl.)
so +much/ little+ adj. + n. [u] such+adj.(可省去) +n. [u]
so foolish such a fool
so nice a flower such a nice flower
so many/ few flowers such nice flowers
so much/little money. such rapid progress
so many people such a lot of people(這個重要)
so many 已成固定搭配,a lot of 雖相當於 many,但 a lot of 為名詞性的,只能用such搭配。
2、so…that與such…that之間的轉換即為 so與such之間的轉換.
so+形容詞/副詞+that.../ so+形容詞+a(n)+名詞單數+that.../so+many(few)+名詞複數+that.../so+much(little)+不可數名詞+that...
such+a(n)+形容詞+單數名詞+that.../such+形容詞+名詞複數+that.../such+形容詞+不可數名詞+that...
The box costs so little that I can afford it.這個箱子很便宜,我買得起。
3、such...as...與such as 的區別
1).such...as...“像...一樣的...”。其中such是形容詞,後接名詞;as可以作為連詞或介詞,作連詞時可以引導定語從句,在從句中可以充當主語,賓語,表語。
Don't read such poems as you can't understand.
不要看你(你們)看不懂的詩歌。(as 作賓語)
2).such as 是複合連詞/連詞賓語,意為“諸如……的”,用來列舉事物。
Poets such as Byron are rare。像拜倫這樣的詩人是罕見的。
看一個試題:
I have never seen ______ little ants carry ________ much food before.
A. so, such B. such , so
C. so, so D. such , such
分析:little前面有時用so,有時用such,其區別是:
1. little 表示“小”(與“大”相對)時,前面用such,如:
such little boys, such little trees, such little cats… (通常修飾可數名詞)
2. little 表示“少”(與“多”相對)時,前面用so,如:
so little time, so little sleep, so little money…(通常修飾不可數名詞)
▲一個很經典的例句是:
Such little (小) animals can only eat so little (少) food.
▲另外,little單獨使用時(其後不接名詞時),只用so。如:
He knows so little about it. 此事他知道得很少。
Why did you let me down by doing so little? 你為什麼幹得這麼少而讓我失望呢?
再回到上面的試題:
such little ants指如此小的螞蟻們(little adj.小的,嬌小的,小而可愛的)
如果相表示如此少的螞蟻,則為so few ants
第二空填so,比較簡單。整句為:I have never seen such little ants carry so much food. 我從來沒有看見過如此小的螞蟻搬運如此多的食物。
所以選B。
