Grammar in Context
1. Examine the following sentences, paying special attention to the two different sentence patterns introduced respectively by so…that and such…that.
1) The periods and fields should complement each other and be interrelated in such a way that all people can get the most … (Para. 10, Text B, Unit 7)
2) We have hardened ourselves so much in this competitive age that we have forgotten the essence of relationships. (Para. 13, Text A, Unit 2)
so…that; such…that 句型
一、基本意义
两个句型都表达“如此……以至于……”。例如：
1. Our campus is so far from the highway that we feel apart from the world when we are there.
2. She hasn’t seen her son for such a long time that she couldn’t recognize him at first.
二、两个句型的区别
so…that…句型中 so 后接形容词或副词，而 such…that…句型中such 后接名词。例如：
1. Our campusis so far (= at such a long distance) from the highway that we feel apart from the world when we are there.
2. She hasn’t seen her son for such a long time (= so long) that she couldn’t recognize him at first.

容易用错的状语从句连词
1） when / before
when 表示“一个动作紧接着另一动作发生”，例如：When Tom returns, I’ll give him the message.
when 也常用来表示“某动作正在进行中，突然发生了另一个动作”，例如：Everyone was reading quietly in the library when the fire alarm sounded. 大家都在图书馆安静地看书，突然火警响了。
before 仅仅表达“在……之前”，如练习句子：In the UK, up to one third of pipe water leaks away before it reaches its destination. 在英国，输水管里三分之一的水在抵达目的地前就漏没了。
2） as soon as / when
as soon as 表示“一……就……”，两个动作的衔接非常紧凑，其中as soon as后的动作先发生。例如：Jack left the room as soon as he saw me. 杰克一见到我就赶紧离开了房间。
这个练习句子中 when 后的动作发生在后：Bob was just home from holiday when a friend called to tell him about his father’s death. 鲍伯刚度假回到家，朋友就打电话来，说他父亲去世了。
3） after / until
after 只表示“某动作发生在……之后”，而until表示“某动作持续到……”。例如：
We’ll go out after the rain stops. 雨停后我们会出门。
We’ll stay here until the rain stops. 我们会一直等，直到雨停为止。
练习句子Sometimes we put off writing letters of thanks because we think letters can wait until other matters are dealt with 中 letters can wait until other matters are dealt with 就表达“写信这事可以一直等，直到其他事务都处理好”。
4） if only / unless
if only 一般用在非真实条件句中，表示“如果……就好了”，例如：If only I hadn’t said that!
注意only if 等于if，只是增加强调意义，例如：The missiles can be fired only if the operator types in a six-digit code. 只有当操作员输入六位数的密码，这些导弹才会被发射。
unless 等于 if not，表示“如果不……；除非”。练习句子We shall set off on our journey as planned unless there’s a sudden change in theweather. 如果天气没有突然变化，我们会按照计划出发的。
5） although / as
as 可以引导倒装句，表示“虽然”。although表示“虽然”，但是句子不能倒装。
练习句子
Much as I like chocolate, I have never eaten a single bar of it since I began to put on weight.
= Although Ilike chocolate very much, I have never eaten a single bar of it since I began to put on weight.
