在近幾年的中考中,我們不難發現enough to與so...that,too...to結構句型的轉換不時出現在各地的中考試題中,然而從學生的答題中卻發現,多數學生對此掌握得不好,答題屢屢出錯。其實enough to與so...that ,too...to 是現用人教版新目標初中英語教材中的三個重要結構。它們在一定的條件下,可以相互轉換,現就此作一歸納。
一、too ...to與so ...that結構的轉換
too ...to 句型常用來表示“太……以致不能”的意思。so ...that 句型常用來表示“如此……以致”的意思。too ...to 結構是一個簡單句, so... that結構常是復合句。當that引導的從句為否定形式,且主句中的主語與從句的主語相一致時,so...that 結構可轉換為too...to結構。例如:
Tom is so young that he can’t join the army.
→Tom is too young to join the army.
I’m so tired that I can’t walk on.
→I’m too tired to walk on.
當that 引導的從句為否定式,但從句主語與主句主語不相同時,so ...that 可轉換為too... for sb to 結構。例如:
The box is so heavy that I can’t lift it.
→The box is too heavy for me to lift.
The question is so difficult that he can’t answer it.
→The question is too difficult for him to answer it.
二、so... that 與enough to 結構的轉換
當that引導的從句為肯定式,且從句主語與主句主語相同時,so...that句型可轉換為enough to句型結構。例如:
Mike is so old that he can go to school.
→Mike is old enough to go to school.
The boy is so strong that he can lift the heavy box.
→The boy is strong enough to lift the heavy box.
當that引導的從句為肯定式,但從句主語與主句主語不相同時,so ...that可轉換為enough for sb to 結構。例如:
The box is so light that the child can lift it.
→The box is light enough for the child to lift.
They walked so slowly that we could keep up with them.
→They walked slowly enough for us to keep up with them.
三、enough to與too...to結構的轉換
enough to 所在句子為不定式時,enough to 結構可轉換為too ...to 結構,但轉換后too... to 結構中的形容詞、副詞要用其相應的反義詞。例如:
He isn’t old enough to do the work.
→He is too young to do the work.
Tom didn’t walk slowly enough for us to keep up with him.
→Tom walked too fast for us to keep up with him.
以上是enough to,so... that,too... to結構句型間的常見轉換,也是當前各類考試中的常見題型,還需要我們不斷學習和總結。
