5 关于英语句子理解的问题

在英语句子中,经常会出现一些所谓的固定搭配,但是在我个人看来,并没有什么固定搭配,不过是按照词组或者句意形成的一种不同于习惯方式的表达,因此,对于在日常英语探究中遇到的问题,我也会从词组、语法、句子组织等方向对“固定搭配”进行研究,请教各位专家学者我对于下面这句话的理解是否正确?

【原题】His strong sense of humor was ______ make everyone in the room burst out laughing.

A. so as to   B. such as to    C.so  that   D.such  that

【答案】Bsuch as to 为表示结果的固定搭配,so as to表示目的,so that such that不符合题意。(原题解析)

【我的理解】such既然是做副词,那么可以认为在句子中such是用来修饰某个形容词或者类似形容词的存在,因此,原句可以通过调换语序改成下面这样:

(改写句)His humor was such strong that (it) make everyone in that room burst out laughing

通过把suchthat 替换为 such as to,同时调整这一改写句中的主语,并通过as to连接结果状语,从而使改写句呈现出原题中句子的样子,通过一种替换可以换成错乱语序      的下面的句子:

(错乱语序句)His humor was such strong as to make everyone in that room burst out laughing.

感谢各位专家教授解答我的疑问,并对我的理解进行纠错修正及点评。

His strong sense of humor was such as to make everyone in the room burst out laughing.

A. so as to   B. such as to    C.so  that   D.such  that

His strong sense of humor was such as to make everyone in the room burst out laughing.【备注:such=so strong

解答:这里such表示程度,were such表示达到了某种程度,可以理解为such=so strong后面as to make为不定式作句子结状语。可以把以上句子结构改为下面句子结构进行理解。

1His sense of humor was so strong as to make everyone in the room burst out laughing.动词不定式作结果状语
参考译文:他的幽默感是如此的强以至于使房间里的每个人都突然纵声大笑 起来。

2His strong sense of humor was such that everyone in the room would burst out laughing.that引导结果状语从句作结果状语

参考译文:他的幽默感是如此的强以至于房间里的每个人都突然纵声大笑起来。

3His sense of humor was so strong that it made everyone in the room burst out laughing.that引导结果状语从句作结果状语
参考译文:他的幽默感是如此的强以至于使房间里的每个人都突然纵声大笑 起来。

备注(1):such不能修饰形容词,即不能使用such +形容词+that结构,但是such可以修饰名词,即such +(a/an)+名词+that结构

这个问题十分重要,我们疏忽不得。

The weather has brought such a demand for beer that one brewery will operate over the weekend.

This is something where you can earn such a lot of money that there is not any risk that you will lose it.

这可以让你挣一大笔钱,而且没有任何赔钱的风险。

备注(2)such可以使用倒装结构,即such+be+主语+that从句

Such is the elegance of this typeface that it is still a favorite of designers.这种字体很优美,至今仍深受设计人员喜欢。

 备注(3)so可以修饰形容词副词,可以使用so+形容词/副词+that从句
