■第一個(gè)問題:
你提的第一個(gè)問題比較少見,個(gè)人認(rèn)為在 a little, a few 前要要不用so 而要用such。不過我在手頭的若干本英美詞典和語法書上沒有找到相關(guān)的例子。我在“英國國家語料庫”中分別輸入 such a little 和 such a few,結(jié)果如下:
◆關(guān)于 such a little 的用法只有25例,但大多數(shù)是 such a little后接可數(shù)名詞的用法(如such a little boy之類的),such a little后接不可數(shù)名詞的實(shí)例比較少,只有幾個(gè)例子,如:
His sister had lived in the big gloomy house for such a little time.
The city spread out below her looked so calm, almost as calm as she had felt such a little time before.
◆關(guān)于 such a few 的用法只有一例:
We worked together as a Club on this project, but one by one the members dropped by the wayside, until the good lady decided it wasn't worth wasting the petrol coming to collect such a few items.
■第二個(gè)問題:
在 so pretty a girl, such a pretty girl 這類表達(dá)中,如果名詞是復(fù)數(shù)或不可數(shù),不能用 so,如不能說 so pretty girls,而說 such pretty girls。(這類搭配與是否是結(jié)果狀語無關(guān))
■第三個(gè)問題:
應(yīng)該說 She is a so adorable and smart a girl that ...
這類表達(dá)與是否是結(jié)果狀語無關(guān),即使不是結(jié)果狀語從句也是如此。如:
Everyone likes her, for she is a so adorable and smart a girl. 回復(fù)時(shí)間:
