(3)在so…that句型中,当主句和从句的主语一致,但主句是肯定式,从句是否定式时,可简化成enough to do sth. 或too…to do sth.结构。与enough to do sth.转换时,形容词或副词应变为与之相反的词,前面的动词为否定式。 如:He is so young that he can?t go to school. =He is too young to go to school. =He is not old enough to go to school. 他还没到上学的年龄。
如果主从句的主语不一致,须在to do sth.前加for sb 作为不定式的逻辑主语。
The problem is so difficult that we can?t work it out. =The problem is too difficult for us to work out. =The problem isn?t easy enough for us to work out. 这道题太难了,我们解答不出来。 【语法归纳】
过去完成时与现在完成时的区别 两者主要区别是时间的参照点不同:
过去完成时的时间参照点是某个“过去的”时间;现在完成时的时间参照点是“现在”。因此现在完成时中的很多规则,也适用于过去完成时。 例句:
When I got to the cinema, the film had been on for five minutes.
76
当我到达电影院时,电影已演了五分钟了。(got是一个过去的“时间点”,电影“开始”在我“到达”之前,是“过去的过去”。因为for five minutes为延续一段的时间状语,应用可延续的系表结构be on的过去完成时形式。)
注:过去完成时是一个相对的时态,表示的是“过去的过去”,只有在和过去某时或某动作相比较时才用到它,因此当原句中若找不到一个“过去的时间”作为参照点时,是不能用过去完成时的。 例句:
He got to the railway station and suddenly realized that he had forgotten to bring his ticket.他到了火车站后忽然意识到他竟忘记带车票了。(“忘记”这一动作在“意识到”这一动作之前。)
