语法点：结果状语从句 so…that / such…that (Result Clauses)
结果状语从句用来说"某事到了什么程度，以至于产生了什么结果"。最常见的两种形式是 so … that 和 such … that：so 后面接形容词或副词，such 后面接名词短语（可以带形容词），that 引导的从句说明结果。本课句 7 The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell into the water. 就是典型例子。口语中 that 常可省略；程度非常高时也可以说 so … that / too … to / … enough to，但意思略有不同。
结构
| 形式 | 例子 |
|---|---|
| so + 形容词/副词 + that 从句 | The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell into the water. |
| so + many/few + 复数名词 + that | There were so many people that I could not see the river. |
| so + much/little + 不可数名词 + that | He had so much work that he could not go out. |
| such + (a/an) + 形容词 + 名词 + that | It was such a hard kick that the ball went into the river. |
| such + 形容词 + 复数/不可数名词 + that | They were such noisy children that everyone looked at them. |
注意：名词前有 a/an 时用 such (such a fine afternoon)，但 so 也可以说 so fine an afternoon（较正式，少用）。
课文中的例句
- [句 7] The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell into the water. — so + 副词 hard + that 从句，说明球打得有多重以及造成的结果。
- [句 5] Suddenly, one of the children kicked a ball very hard and it went towards a passing boat. — 用 very hard 只说程度，没有结果从句；可改写为 kicked the ball so hard that it went towards a passing boat。
- [句 3] It was warm last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual. — 这里的 so 是并列连词"所以"，不是 so … that 结构，要区分。
- [句 6] Some people on the bank called out to the man in the boat, but he did not hear them. — 可改写成 The man was so far away that he did not hear them，练习结果状语从句。
补充例句
- The children were playing so noisily that the man in the boat looked up. 孩子们玩得那么吵，船上的人抬起头来。
- It was such a fine afternoon that I sat by the river for two hours. 那天下午天气那么好，我在河边坐了两个小时。
- He rowed so fast that nobody could catch him. 他划得那么快，没人能追上他。
易错点
- ❌ The ball struck him so hard so he nearly fell. → ✅ The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell. — 结果从句用 that 引导，不能再用 so。
- ❌ It was so a fine afternoon that I went out. → ✅ It was such a fine afternoon that I went out. — 名词短语前用 such，so 只接形容词或副词。
- ❌ He kicked the ball such hard that it went into the river. → ✅ He kicked the ball so hard that it went into the river. — hard 是副词，前面用 so。
- ❌ There were so much people that I could not sit down. → ✅ There were so many people that I could not sit down. — people 是可数复数，用 so many。
