[6]结果状语从句:so...that、such...that

结果状语从句是用于说明主句动作或情况所产生的“结果”的从句,通常由特定连词引导,与主句之间存在明确的“因果逻辑”(主句是“因”,从句是“果”)。根据引导词的不同,结果状语从句主要分为由“so...that...”引导(表“如此……以至于……”,强调程度导致的结果)、由“such...that...”引导(表“如此……的(人/物)以至于……”,强调名词的特征导致的结果)和由“so that”引导(表“结果是……”,直接引出结果,无“如此”的程度含义)三类。以下逐类详细讲解并提供例句。

一、由“so...that...”引导的结果状语从句

核心特点

结构:主句中需出现“so+形容词/副词”,“that”引导结果从句(“that”可省略,尤其在口语中)。

逻辑:通过“so”强调主句中形容词(如“big”“happy”)或副词(如“fast”“carefully”)的程度,进而引出该程度造成的结果。

注意:“so”后只能接形容词或副词,不能直接接名词(接名词需用“such...that...”,见下文)。

“so...that...”例句:

1. The box is so heavy that I can’t carry it alone.(这个箱子太重了,以至于我一个人搬不动。“so”修饰形容词“heavy”,从句表“重”的结果)

2. He ran so fast that no one in his class could catch up with him.(他跑得太快了,以至于班里没人能追上他。“so”修饰副词“fast”)

3. She was so excited that she couldn’t stop crying when she heard the news.(听到这个消息时,她太激动了,以至于止不住地哭。“so”修饰形容词“excited”)

4. The math problem is so difficult that even the top student in our class spent an hour on it.(这道数学题太难了,以至于我们班的尖子生都花了一个小时才做出来。)

5. It rained so heavily that all the roads in the small town were flooded.(雨下得太大了,以至于这个小镇的所有道路都被淹了。“so”修饰副词“heavily”)

6. The little girl spoke so quietly that the teacher could barely hear her.(这个小女孩说话太轻了,以至于老师几乎听不见。“so”修饰副词“quietly”)

7. We were so tired after the long hike that we fell asleep as soon as we got home.(长途徒步后我们太累了,以至于一到家就睡着了。“so”修饰形容词“tired”)

8. The movie was so boring that half of the audience left before it ended.(这部电影太无聊了,以至于一半观众在结束前就离场了。)

9. He worked so hard that he finally got the promotion he had been waiting for.(他工作太努力了,以至于终于得到了他期待已久的晋升。“so”修饰副词“hard”)

10. The wind blew so strongly that several trees in the park were blown down.(风刮得太猛了,以至于公园里的几棵树都被吹倒了。“so”修饰副词“strongly”)

二、由“such...that...”引导的结果状语从句

核心特点

结构:主句中需出现“such+(a/an)+形容词+名词”,“that”引导结果从句(“that”可省略)。

逻辑:通过“such”强调名词(如“a beautiful girl”“interesting books”)的特征(由形容词修饰),进而引出该特征造成的结果。

注意:“such”后必须接“名词”(可带形容词修饰),若名词是可数单数,需加“a/an”(如“such a good idea”);若名词是不可数/可数复数,则不加“a/an”(如“such bad weather”“such interesting stories”)。

“such...that...”例句:

1. She is such a kind person that everyone in her neighborhood likes to ask her for help.(她是个如此善良的人,以至于邻居们都喜欢找她帮忙。“such a kind person”中,person是可数单数,需加“a”)

2. It was such bad weather that we had to cancel our outdoor picnic.(天气如此糟糕,以至于我们不得不取消户外野餐。“bad weather”是不可数名词,不加“a”)

3. He told such funny jokes that all the people in the room laughed out loud.(他讲了如此有趣的笑话,以至于房间里所有人都大笑起来。“funny jokes”是可数复数,不加“a”)

4. This is such an important meeting that no one is allowed to be late.(这是一个如此重要的会议,以至于任何人都不允许迟到。“an important meeting”是可数单数)

5. They have such a big house that they can host 20 guests at the same time.(他们有一栋如此大的房子,以至于能同时招待20位客人。)

6. She has such beautiful eyes that everyone who meets her notices them first.(她有一双如此漂亮的眼睛,以至于每个见到她的人都会先注意到这双眼睛。“beautiful eyes”是可数复数)

7. It was such a delicious meal that we all asked the chef for the recipe.(这顿饭如此美味,以至于我们都向厨师要了食谱。“a delicious meal”是可数单数)

8. He has such good grades that his parents always take him to travel on holidays.(他的成绩如此好,以至于他父母总在假期带他去旅行。“good grades”是可数复数)

9. It is such useful advice that I have written it down in my notebook.(这是如此有用的建议,以至于我把它记在了笔记本上。“useful advice”是不可数名词,不加“a”)

10. They are such hard-working students that their teachers often praise them in class.(他们是如此努力的学生,以至于老师经常在课堂上表扬他们。“hard-working students”是可数复数)

三、由“so that”引导的结果状语从句

核心特点

结构:“so that”直接连接主句和结果从句,主句中无“so”或“such”的程度修饰,从句仅表“主句动作自然导致的结果”。

逻辑:不强调“程度”,仅陈述“因果关系”,可理解为“(做了某事),结果是……”;与“目的状语从句”的“so that”(表“为了……”)区分:结果从句的“so that”前通常无逗号,且从句时态与主句一致(目的从句常含“can/could”等情态动词)。

注意:此结构的“so that”不可省略,且从句不能置于句首。

“so that”(表结果)例句:

1. He forgot to set his alarm clock so that he was late for work this morning.(他忘了设闹钟,结果今天早上上班迟到了。主句“忘设闹钟”是因,从句“迟到”是自然结果)

2. The company cut down its costs so that it could survive the economic crisis.(公司削减了成本,结果得以度过经济危机。从句用“could”,但此处表“削减成本”的结果,而非“为了度过危机”的目的——目的从句会说“He cut costs so that he could survive”,需结合语境判断,此句侧重“结果”)

3. She practiced playing the piano every day so that she won the first prize in the piano competition.(她每天练习弹钢琴,结果在钢琴比赛中获得了一等奖。)

4. We saved enough money for months so that we could buy our dream house.(我们攒了几个月的钱,结果买到了梦想中的房子。从句“could buy”表“攒钱”的结果)

5. The little boy helped the old lady cross the road so that the lady thanked him many times.(小男孩帮老奶奶过马路,结果老奶奶多次感谢他。)

6. They planted a lot of trees in the community so that the air there became much fresher.(他们在社区种了很多树,结果那里的空气变得清新多了。主句“种树”是因,从句“空气变好”是结果)

7. He studied English every night so that he made great progress in a short time.(他每晚学习英语,结果在短时间内取得了很大进步。)

8. The restaurant improved its service quality so that more and more customers came to eat there.(这家餐厅提升了服务质量,结果越来越多的顾客来这里吃饭。)

9. She watered the flowers regularly so that all the flowers in her garden bloomed beautifully.(她定期给花浇水,结果花园里所有的花都开得很漂亮。)

10. They worked together closely on the project so that they finished it ahead of schedule.(他们在项目上密切合作,结果提前完成了项目。主句“密切合作”是因,从句“提前完成”是结果)
