so還是such?　　

——對(duì)一道中考試題的商榷　　

■本站特約作者李翔　　

■2011年徐州市中考英語(yǔ)試題第64小題：　　

I like people in Xuzhou. They are s_______ nice people.　　

所給的答案為so。(摘自李朝東總主編《2100年全國(guó)中考試卷匯編 江蘇十三大市中考試卷匯編之英語(yǔ)》 中國(guó)少年兒童出版社 2011年7月第6次印刷 p96)　　

■可以看出試題中的“so”用于“so+adj+n”結(jié)構(gòu)中。然而，筆者認(rèn)為這個(gè)答案是錯(cuò)誤的，至少是值得商榷的，因?yàn)樗�超出了中學(xué)生尤其是初中生的英語(yǔ)知識(shí)范圍。當(dāng)前中學(xué)英語(yǔ)教師自己所接受的與傳授給學(xué)生的說法是這樣的：so…that結(jié)構(gòu)可分四種形式：　　

(1) so+形容詞(分詞或副詞)+that從句；　　

(2) so+形容詞+(an)+單數(shù)名詞+that從句；　　

(3) so+動(dòng)詞+that從句；　　

(4) so+many, few, (much, little)+復(fù)數(shù)名詞(不可數(shù)名詞)+that從句。(筆者注：有時(shí)這四種結(jié)構(gòu)也可單獨(dú)使用，即后面不接that從句)(張?chǎng)斡丫幹�《英語(yǔ)相似詞語(yǔ)辨析詞典》華中師范大學(xué)出版社2004年5月第1版 p672)　　

■盡管在英美國(guó)家在英美國(guó)家的語(yǔ)料庫(kù)中也有使用“so+adj+n”的真實(shí)例證(以比較常見的形容詞good, bad, nice為例)如，在BUY-BNC BRTISH NATIONAL CORPUS (UK,1980s-1993) (Mark Davies, Brigham Young University ) http://corpus.byu.edu/bnc/上　　

含有“so+good+n”的例句有：　　

Not so good luck for the Veterans A side in Division One of the Veterans’ Section, who went down 7–2 to Romford A. Derek Wood and Dave Binns took a point apiece for 　Clacton　.　　

…, and with all having so good means and ability to live…
