【问】 We eat that we may live.

There must be something wrong that he hasn't arrived yet.

这两个that从句都是结果从句吗?

【答】 从属连词that既可以引导结果状语从句，也可以引导目的状语从句。如何区分?一是根据句子的内容，二是根据从句动词的语气。结果从句大都不需要情态动词，而目的从句大都采用情态动词或采用虚拟语气(may，might，should，be)。

1.He must have hurt your feelings that you were so angry with him.(结果)

他肯定是伤害了你的感情，所以你才对他生那么大的气。

2. They are not destitute that they need your help.(结果)

他们还没有贫困到需要你帮助的程度。

3. He is keeping quiet that he may not disturb his father. (Curme)(目的)

他保持安静，以免打扰他的父亲。

4. The jury and witnesses were removed from the court that they might not hear the argu-ments of the lawyers. (CGEL)(目的)

陪审团和证人们都退出了法庭，以便听不到律师们的辩论。(亦可用should not hear或not hear来代替might not hear)

5. They hurried that they might not miss the train.(目的)

他们急急忙忙地走了，以便赶上火车。

6. He died that others might live.(目的)

他牺牲了，为的是让别人能活下去。
