词组 | that(so that) |
释义 | that : so that - 800 前者这个连词和后者这个复合连词在用法上是有区别的:在正式文件和文学作品中,往往使用前者来连接从句,并在从句中加用 may / might (参见词目 799 );由后者来连接从句,表达的如果是原因,要加用 may / might 或 can / could 都可以;如果是结果,则要加用 may / might ,不加用 can / could (参见词目 518 和 762 )。 例如: The reactionaries died that we might live. 我们同反动派势不两立。 The old world is destroyed that the new world may be built. 旧世界摧毁了,新世界才能建立。 He works hard now so that he may enjoy leisure in his old age. 他现在勤奋工作,因而到了晚年就可享清福啦。 He was always idle, so that he could not live happy in his old age. 他经常游手好闲,这样到了晚年就不能过幸福的生活了。 |
