亲爱的同学们，在生活中结果状语从句的使用随处可见，在大学英语四、六级考试中，结果状语从句的命题频率也比较高。在这一单元，我们将系统地学习结果状语从句的基本用法及哪些词、短语和句子相当于结果状语从句。Are you ready？
OK， let"s go！
20.1结果状语从句的基本用法
结果状语从句的从句部分是补充说明主句中谓语动词发生的结果的，通常位于主句之后。引导结果状语从句的常用连接词有so … that …， such … that …， (so) that， as much as， to such degree， to such an extent， so much so that， in order that， and therefore， hence， 等等。
1.so … that 和 such … that
“so ...that ...”和“such ...that ...”译成“如此……，以致……”、“结果……”。二者均可引导结果状语从句，也可直接翻译，其中such 是形容词，修饰名词；so 是副词，修饰形容词或副词，so 还可与表示数量的形容词many， few， much， little 连用，形成固定搭配。
示例
so many students such a lot of students She is so beautiful a girl that so many boys want to run after her.
She is such a beautiful girl that so many boys want to run after her.
她是如此漂亮的一个女孩，以至于许多男孩都想追求她。
The shop sells so expensive goods that I want to buy nothing in it.
这家商店出售的货物价格昂贵，以致我在里面不想购买任何东西。
The difference is such that all will perceive it.
差别这么大，所有的人都看得出来。（可以省略连接词而不翻译）
2.so that
so that 引导的状语从句既可以表结果，又可以表目的，要注意二者的区别。
（1）so that 可以用来引导目的状语从句，译成“为了……”、”以便……”，相当于inorder that，目的状语从句里常用情态动词may， can， might 或could 表示目的。在现代英语中，so that 引导目的状语从句时，so that 中的so 还可以省略。例如：
We climbed higher so that we might get a better view.
We climbed higher in order that we might get a better view.
We climbed higher that we might get a better view.
我们爬得更高以便能够看得更清楚。
（2）so that 也可以用来引导结果状语从句，译成“结果……”、“所以……”，so that 引导的结果状语从句一般要用逗号和主句隔开，从句里没有表目的的情态动词may， can， might或could。但无论so that 引导目的状语从句，还是引导结果状语从句，通常都位于句中，而不置于句首。例如：
She spoke at the top of her voice so that the students at the back could hear her.
她说话声音很高，为的是后面的同学能听见。（目的状语从句）
She spoke at the top of her voice， so that the students at the back heard her.
她说话声音很高，结果后面的同学都听见了。（结果状语从句）
3.never (not) so … but that (what) …
有时候，如果在主句中含有never， never so， not so， not such 等否定词，而且but that 和butwhat 也可以连接结果状语从句，构成双重否定。翻译的时候，可以翻译为“没有……不”。
例如：
You never come but you borrow.
你不借东西不来。
There is no so friendless but what he can find a friend.
没有连一个朋友都交不到的人。
She is not so old but that she can read.
她并没有老到不能读书。
4.其他表达法
例如：
He was tired to such a degree that he fainted.
他疲乏得昏了过去。

他本人信仰自由，以至于他宁愿死去也不愿毫无自由地活着。
