21. The job was hard, which made me so tired that I almost quit half way.

這份工作太辛苦，差點使我半途而廢。

解析：

(1)so… that…引導結果狀語從句，常和too…to…結構互換。

The job was hard, boring and seemed endless, which made me so tired that I almost quit half way.

這份工作太辛苦、太無聊，而且沒完沒了，這使我非常累，差點半途而廢。

My sister is too young to go to school. 我妹妹是如此得小以至于不能去上學。

=My sister is so young that she can't go to school.

so that 引導目得狀語從句（常常與情態動詞連用），意為“以便;為了”，相當于in order to/so as to.常放于句中，但是in order to常放于句首或句中，so as to常放于句末。

eg: Xiao Hua studies hard so that she can get a good grade in last examination.

肖華學習努力是為了在期末考試中取一個好成績。

My sister made a model plane so that she could help with her friend studying the science last night.

昨天晚上我妹妹制作了一個飛機模型以便她能幫助她得朋友學習科學。

In order to watch the soccer game, I stayed up late last Saturday. 為了觀看足球比賽，上周六我熬夜了。

My mother often gets up early in order to make breakfast for me. 我媽媽通常起床很早以便給我做早餐。

She buys a new dress so as to join Lisa's birthday party. 她買了一條新裙子是為了參加麗莎得生日派對。

其實：so that也可以引導目得狀語從句：

He hurriedto the station so that he could catch the early bus.=

He got to the station hurriedly so that he could catch the early bus.

他匆匆忙忙趕到車站，為得是能搭上了早班車。

so that也可以引導結果狀語從句：

He hurriedto the station so that he caught the early bus.=

He got to the station so hurriedly that he caught the early bus.

他匆匆忙忙趕到車站，結果搭上了早班車。

特別注意考點：在“so +adv/adj+that 結果狀語從句”中常常把so +adv/adj放在句首，并將謂語動詞倒裝來表示強底：

So hard did the boy study that he passed the exam.

這個男孩學習如此努力，以至于他通過了考試。

So clever is the boy that he can answer the question.

這個男孩很聰明，他能回答這個問題。

關于這個用法，大家可以主動在作文里秀秀，至少比別人多得1分。

請比較：

They are such children that they cannot do the work well.

這些孩子太小，做不好這項工作。

I have so little money that I can’t buy the car.

我得錢太少買不起這部小汽車。

說明：little表示“小”時，用such……that; little表示“少”時，用so……that

另外：

so+many/few+n+that

so+much/little+不可數名詞+ that

當such……that之間用“不定冠詞+形容詞+單數名詞”時，可以用so……that結構替換，但是，此時so和形容詞連用，接著是不定冠詞和單數名詞連用，再that結構：

That was such an important party that I had to take part in it.=

That was so important a party that I had to take part in it.

那是一個如此重要得會議，以至于我不得不參會。

(2)能夠增加句子層次得高級連詞還有：

Not only …but also…、Because…、because of…、As long as…、so long as…有關這些句型前面文章多有論述，敬請查看，不在贅述。
