so that，so…that
連詞so that和so…that…的涵義和用法并不相同。
So that的意思是“為了”、“俾使”、“以致”，它引導(dǎo)目的狀語(yǔ)從句和結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句。例：
They opened a technical training course so that the managers and clerks could attend it during their spare time．
他們開(kāi)了一個(gè)技術(shù)訓(xùn)練班，使經(jīng)理和職員們?cè)跇I(yè)余的時(shí)間可以去上課。
Please switch the light on so that we can see what it is．
請(qǐng)開(kāi)燈，讓我們看一下它是什么東西。
During the earthquake their house fell with a crash，so that they had to find a new abode．
地震時(shí)，他們的房子嘩啦一聲倒塌了，所以他們必須要找一個(gè)新的住處。
So… that…的意思是“如此地…以致于…”，它引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句。在口語(yǔ)中，so…that…的that常被省去。例：
She felt so sad that tears came to her eyes．
她非常悲傷，淚水盈眶?？荚嚧?BR> John was so drunk（that）he could not stand still．
約翰醉得站也站不住了。
He spoke so rapidly（that）we could hardly follow him．
他說(shuō)得很快，我們很難聽(tīng)清楚他在說(shuō)什么?？荚嚧?BR> 應(yīng)當(dāng)在此指出，有許多英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法書(shū)都提到，so that 在引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，是用陳述語(yǔ)氣，在引導(dǎo)目的狀語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。例如：
She locked her child in the house when she went out so that it might not be able to go outside and get hurt；but a fire broke out and the door was locked so that the child burnt alive．
第一個(gè)so that引導(dǎo)的是目的狀語(yǔ)從句，第二個(gè)so that引導(dǎo)的是結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句。事實(shí)上，在現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)中，有不少人在so that引導(dǎo)的目的狀語(yǔ)從句中，是用陳述語(yǔ)氣代替虛擬語(yǔ)氣的（如本節(jié)中的第二個(gè)例句中。“wecan see”代替“we could see”）。
