第十单元 第二课

【语法点拨】表示目的、结果的状语从句

▶ so that

so that的意思是“目的是……;结果……”,既可以引导目的状语从句,也可以

引导结果状语从句。引导目的状语从句时,从句的谓语里常有can, could, may,

might, will, would等情态动词。而引导结果状语从句时,则通常没有情态动词。

▪ The little boy saved every coin so that he could buy his mother present on

Mother’s Day.(目的)

小男孩把,为的是能在母亲节给妈妈买一份礼物。

▪ The little boy saved every coin so that he bought his mother present on

Mother’s day.(结果)

小男孩把,在母亲节那天给妈妈买了一份礼物。

▪ He always studies hard so that he may make great progress. (目的)

他总是努力地学习,这样他才会取得很大的进步。

▪ He always studied hard so that he made great progress. (结果)

他总是努力地学习,结果他取得了很大的进步。

▶ in order that

▪ in order that的意思是“以便……,为了……”。 in order that和so that表示目

的时一样,从句的谓语动词里常有can, could, may, might, will,would等

情态动词。

▪ She raised her voice in order that she might be heard.

= She raised her voice so that she might be heard.

她把音量抬高以便于别人听见。

➢ in order that和so that与不定式in order to, so as to以及to表示目的时表达的意

思一样,不过不定式表示目的时,句子是简单句。因此上一句还可表示为:

• She raised her voice so as to be heard.

• In order to be heard she raised her voice.

• She raised her voice in order to be heard.

• To be heard she raised her voice.

• She raised her voice to be heard.

▶ so...that和such...that

so…that和such…that的意思都是“如此……以至”,二者皆可引导结果状语从

句,且含义相同,但用法有一定的区别。

▪ 句型:so+形容词/副词+that

• He was so ill that we had to send for a doctor.

他病得很重,我们只好给他请医生了。

• The novel was so boring that he gave up reading it half way through.

这本小说非常乏味,他读了一半就不读了。

▪ 句型:such+形容词+不可数名词+that

• This book is written in such easy English that beginners can understand

it.

▪ 句型:such+形容词+可数名词复数+that

• They are such difficult problems that I don’t know how to settle them.

这些问题是如此复杂,以至于我不知道如何解决。

▪ 要注意:当不可数名词前有much, little修饰时,要用so, 不能用such;当可

数名词前有many, few修饰时,要用so, 不能用such。

• He had so much work to do that he had to work late into the night.

他有那么多工作要做,不得不工作到深夜。

• There are so many kinds of bikes on sale at the market that I cannot

make up my mind which to buy.

第十单元第三课

【文化常识】Coffee Beverages 咖啡饮品

There are various types of notable beverages made from coffee. An affogato (Italian

for ‘drowned’) is a coffee-based beverage or dessert. ‘Affogato style’, which refers to

the act of topping a drink or dessert with espresso, may also incorporate caramel

sauce or chocolate sauce.

有许多种知名饮料都是用咖啡制成的。阿芙佳朵(意大利语,意为“淹没”)是一种

以咖啡为原料的饮品或甜点。“阿芙佳朵风味”是指将浓咖啡浇到饮料或甜点上

层,其中也可能含有焦糖汁或巧克力酱。

A black eye is dripped coffee with a double shot of espresso. It has a strong taste.

Caffe Americano or simply Americano is a style of coffee prepared by adding hot

water to espresso giving a similar strength to but different flavor from regular drip

coffee. The drink consists of single or double-shot of espresso combined with

between 1 and 16 fluid ounces (30-470ml) of hot water. The strength of an Americano

varies with the number of shots of espresso added. A cafe au lait is traditionally the

French way of preparing ‘coffee with milk’ both at home and in Cafes in Europe.

Similar to the Portuguese Galao, a latte is a portion of espresso and steamed milk,

generally in a 1:3 to 1:5 ratio of espresso to milk, with a little foam on top. Coffee milk

is a drink similar to chocolate milk; however, instead of chocolate syrup, coffee syrup

is used. It is the official state drink of Rhode Island in the United States. Cappuccino

is a coffee-based drink prepared with espresso, hot milk, and steamed milk foam.

“黑眼圈”是一种注了双份浓咖啡的滴流咖啡,味道浓郁。美式咖啡(Caffe,或简单

称之为 Americano)是将热水倒入浓咖啡,与一般滴流咖啡浓度相似但风味不同。这

种饮料含有一份或双份浓咖啡,配以1-16液盎司(30—470毫升)的热水。美式咖啡

的浓度随着加入的浓咖啡的份数而改变。法式咖啡即“咖啡加牛奶”,是传统的法

式调制方式,常见于欧洲的家庭和咖啡馆。拿铁咖啡与葡式咖啡(Galao)相似,以

1:3到1:5的比例分别加入浓咖啡和牛奶,饮料顶层漂浮一些泡沫。咖啡牛奶与巧

克力牛奶类似,但其中加入的是咖啡糖浆而不是巧克力糖浆。咖啡牛奶是美国罗

德岛州的官方饮品。卡布奇诺是一种加入了浓咖啡热牛奶和热奶泡的咖啡饮

品。
