词组 | that/so that |
释义 | that/so that2 【问】 下面一段话引自《朗文英语正误词典》(安徽科技出版社,P.406,上海译文出版社,P.331) “× He closed the door quietly that nobody would hear him. √He closed the door quietly so that nobody would hear him. 说明:用so that表示目的,单独that不行(P.406)。”但是,我却读到过这样的句子:She did it that he might go free.(MED)这不是表明that可以引出目的状语从句吗? 【答】 说that绝对不能引出目的状语从句,是不准确的。但是that引出目的状语从句,显得异常正式,因此用得比较少。但也不是绝无仅有: 1. I tell you this that you may not shrink from the responsibility. (Yeats) 我把这事告诉你,让你不要推卸责任。 2. Bring it closer that I may see it better.(LDCE) 把它拿近一些,好让我看清楚点。 3. They have died that liberty might live. 他们死了,为的是自由能够存在。 请做下面的英语试题: “This is an interesting Picasso painting. ”“Would you please hold it up____it ?” A. that everyone should see B. that everyone can see C. so everyone can see D. for everyone to be seeing(TOEFL,73.3) 赵振才 编著.英语常见问题解答大词典.哈尔滨:黑龙江人民出版社.1998.第1161页. |
