too…to的意思是“太……以致不…
too后接形容词,to后接动词原形。如:
1.She is too angry to speak.
她太生气了以致说不出话来。
2.The box is too heavy to lift.
这箱子太重了举不起。
so…that的意思是“如此……以致……”,so后接形容词(也可接副词),that后接句子。如:
1.She was so angry that she couldn't speak.她如此生气以致说不出话。
2. He spoke so fast that I couldn't und-erstand him .
他讲话讲得太快,以致我听不懂。
去年省中考英语试题中的句型转换,其中有两题就是要求用so…that和too…to的表达法来改写句子。如:
He isn't old enough to join the army.
He is____young____he couldn't join thearmy.
Tom can't reach the top of the box because he isshort.
Tom is____short____reach the top of the box
要求用so…that too…to来完成。
有的学生恰好把两者倒过来填,结果两题都弄错了。之所以错,就是没有弄清楚so…th与too…to的用法。即开头所说的:so…that后接句子;too…to后接动词原形。
Ex.用so…that或too…to填空:
1.It's____late____ta ke the bus now.
2.The letters are____small____I can't
see the words clearly.
3.I'm____tired____I can' t keep standing.Eey:1.too…to 2.so…that 3.so…that
