unless、as soon as和so... that...都是連詞,它們各自都可以用來引導不同的狀語從句。
◎用法梳理
◆unless從句
unless意為“除非;如果不”,引導條件狀語從句。unless引導的條件狀語從句表示否定意義,相當于if引導的條件狀語從句的否定形式,即“if... not...”。例如:
We will go on a picnic this weekend unless it rains. =If it doesnt rain, we will go on a picnic this weekend. 如果這個周末不下雨,我們將會去野餐。
Unless he allows me to leave, I cant leave here. 如果他不允許我離開,我不能離開這里。
◆as soon as從句
as soon as意為“一……就……”,用來引導時間狀語從句,表示主句動作緊接著從句動作發(fā)生。例如:
Mary turned on the TV as soon as she got home. 瑪麗一到家就打開了電視。
They will start as soon as Robert arrives. 羅伯特一到他們就動身。
【知識拓展】
1.通常情況下,在含有unless或as soon as的復合句中,如果主句用一般將來時或主句的謂語部分含有情態(tài)動詞,它們引導的從句常用一般現(xiàn)在時。
2.在復合句中,unless或as soon as引導的狀語從句可以放在主句之前,也可放在主句之后。當從句位于主句之前時,常用逗號將其與主句隔開。
◆so... that...從句
so... that...意為“如此……以至于……”,用來引導結(jié)果狀語從句。常見結(jié)構(gòu)為“so + 形容詞/副詞 + that從句”和“so + 形容詞 + a / an + 單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞 + that從句”。例如:
He was so excited that he couldnt say a word. 他如此興奮以至于一句話也說不出來了。
Helen sang so well that everybody cheered her. 海倫唱得如此好,以至于每個人都為她喝彩。
It is so interesting a book that I want to read it again. 這本書如此有趣,以至于我還想再讀一遍。

1.so... that...有時可與too... to...和... enough to...結(jié)構(gòu)進行轉(zhuǎn)換,通常分為下面兩種情況:
(1)如果that引導的從句是否定句,且主句和從句的主語相同,那么so... that...可轉(zhuǎn)換為too... to...結(jié)構(gòu);如果從句和主句的主語不同,so... that...則可轉(zhuǎn)換為too... for sb. to...結(jié)構(gòu)。例如:
He is so young that he cant do it. →
He is too young to do it.
Tom spoke so fast that we could hardly follow him. →
Tom spoke too fast for us to follow.
(2)如果that引導的從句是肯定句,且主句和從句的主語相同,那么so... that...可轉(zhuǎn)換為
... enough to...結(jié)構(gòu);如果從句和主句的主語不同,so... that...則可轉(zhuǎn)換為... enough for sb. to...結(jié)構(gòu)。例如:
Her brother is so strong that he can move the heavy box. →
Her brother is strong enough to move the heavy box.
The problem is so easy that all the students can work it out.→
The problem is easy enough for all the students to work it out.
2.such... that...也意為“如此……以至于……”,用來引導結(jié)果狀語從句。常用結(jié)構(gòu)有“such + a / an + 形容詞+單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞 + that從句”和“such +形容詞 + 復數(shù)可數(shù)名詞/不可數(shù)名詞+that從句”。例如:
It is such an interesting movie that I have seen it three times. 這部電影如此有趣,以至于我看了三遍。
It was such fine weather yesterday that we went boating. 昨天天氣很好,我們便去劃船了。
【溫馨提示】當名詞前的形容詞是many、 much、 few、 little時,such要改為so,即“so + many / much / few / little+名詞+ that從句”。例如:
There was so much work to do that everybody got bored. 有這么多的工作要做,人人都感到厭煩了。
3.so that意為“以便……;為了……”,用來引導目的狀語從句,從句中常含有can、 may等情態(tài)動詞。so that還可以表示“因此;所以”,用來引導結(jié)果狀語從句,在so that前可以使用逗號。例如:
Jim studies hard so that he can go to a good senior school. 吉姆努力學習以便能考上好的高中。
Yesterday morning he got up early, so that he caught the first bus. 昨天早晨他起得很早,因此他趕上了早班車。
