问:问We are so used to them that we often do not even realize how we see and hear in a day. 一句中so...that能否用such...that来替换?

答:不能替换。so...that和such...that都表示“如此……以至于……”,that引导结果状语从句;so修饰形容词、副词或many, much, little, few后加名词,而such则修饰名词或代词。

例如:There was so much noise outside that we couldn’t hear the teacher. 外面非常吵,我们都听不到老师的话。

He walked in such a hurry that we couldn’t catch up with him. 他走得如此匆忙,我们跟不上他。

【扩展一】如出现单数名词前有形容词,such和so可互换,构成:so+adj.+a/an+n.=such+a/an+adj.+n.。注意名词前的little 不表示“少”,而是“小”(young/small)时,须用such修饰,不可以用so。

例如:This is so interesting a book/such an interesting book that I can’t lay it down. 这本书非常有趣,我有点爱不释手。

I have never seen such little cat that I can’t help holding it in my hands. 我从没见过这么小的猫咪,以至于忍不住将它捧在手里。

【扩展二】so+形容词/副词位于句首时,主句要倒装。

例如:So difficult is the problem that nobody can deal with it. 问题很难,没有人能处理。

So carelessly did he drive that he knocked into a tree. 他开车不小心撞到了树上。

【扩展三】so后有表修饰的形容词接名词时,从句也可用as来引导,但此时as引导定语从句,在从句中作主、宾或表语。试比较:

This is so hard a problem that we can’t work it out. 这是如此难的题,以致我们算不出。

This is so hard a problem as we can’t work out. 这是我们无法算出的难题。

前一句中的that引导状语从句,that在句中不作成分;后一句中的as引导定语从句,as在句中作work out的宾语,不可省略。

问:问Not all ads play tricks on us though. 一句中not放在句中时句意是否改变了?

答:句意没有改变。all, both, every, always, altogether, wholly, quite, everything, everybody,everywhere等词与not出现在同一句中,无论是放在一起或分开,都表示部分否定,意为“并不是所有的,并不是两个都,并不总是……”。

例如:The child does not always play tennis. 那孩子并不总是打网球。

All that glitters is not gold.(= Not all that glitters is gold.) 闪光的并非都是金子。

【扩展】neither, not...any, not...either, none, no one, nobody, nothing, nowhere, never等表示全部否定。

例如:None of the questions is easy to answer. 每个问题都不容易回答。

问:问Also important are the sales targets―the amount which they think they will sell in a future period. 一句中为何要倒装?

答:该句是由于句子平衡的需要而倒装。该句的主语为the sales target,后面破折号是对主语的解释,故作表语的also important位于句首时,句子要全部倒装,使句子平衡。作表语的形容词、动词的ing形式、动词的过去分词等位于句首时,句子要完全倒装。

例如:Standing in front of the house is a high mountain, with snow covering its top. 房子前有座高山,大雪覆盖了山顶。

Gone are the days which we spent together playing basketball. 我们一起打篮球的日子一去不复返了。

【扩展】表示地点的介词短语和up, down, here, there, in, out, away, off等副词位于句首时,句子也要完全倒装。但副词位于句首时,主语如是人称代词,则句子不倒装。

例如:Between the two cities lies a highway. 两城市之间有条公路。

The door opened, and in he came, with a book in his hand. 门开了,他走了进来,手里拿着书。

后一句中由于主语he是人称代词,所以不倒装;如是名词,in位于句首要倒装。

例如:The door opened , and in came the teacher, with a book in his hand. 门开了,那个老师走了进来,手里拿着书。

问:问That is why we are considering designing a new package for our chocolate bar as well. 一句中why能否改成because?

答:不能。this/that is why...意为“那是……的原因”,this/that is because...意为“那是因为……”,why和because都引导表语从句;this/that is why...可转换成this/that is the reason why...。

试比较:

He failed in the final exam. That was because he hadn’t work hard enough.

He hadn’t work hard enough. That was why he failed in the final exam.

【扩展】在this/that is后还可加where, when, how等词引导的表语从句,意为“这/那是……的地方/时间/方式”;而且都可转换成“先行词+定语从句”,分别是:the place where, the time when, the way(that/in which)。

例句:We paid a visit to a school yesterday. This was where I worked as an English teacher. 我们昨天参观了一所学校,这是我当过英语教师的地方。

The teacher divided us into five groups and got us to discuss together. That was how we could work out the problem. 老师把我们分成五组并让我们一起讨论,这是我们能解决问题的方法。
