关于so that.../so...that../ so as to/ so...as to...的用法吐血总结

Don is such a tall boy that he can reach the top shelf without any effort. 既然such+adj.+n.+that是正确的，这个句子为什么Wrong？这个帖子总结的思路混乱
其实并不是思维混乱，是说如果such...that中间的名词含有adj成分，换做so...that更好。
以原例作解释，Tom is such a hermit that he hasn't left his house in two years，因为在这个句子中，hermit就能够被that后面的内容解释，that后面的内容是hermit的具体化表现，所以这时候用such...that是没问题的。
而Don is such a tall boy that he can reach the top shelf without any effort.这个句子中，that后面解释的是tall而不是boy，that后面强调的内容也是形容他有多么高而不是他是一个怎么样的男孩，这种强调形容词的形式用so...that更好。

楼主太棒

有一个句子有点疑问，看帖子好不容易自己屡清楚，似乎弄明白了！但是，再看08语法笔记的时候，又被讲解里的一个例句弄蒙了，贴出来求大神帮忙分析一下。例句：Although one link in the chain was demonstrated to be weak, but not sufficiently so to require the recall of the automobile. (incorrect)
The official answer is: demonstrably weak, it was not so weak as to require
楼上帖子的讲解，Ron大神不是说，一般 so...as to VERB，这个verb一般只用来describe some sort of state/condition么？一般如果是active verb，则不用。
那，这个句子我怎么理解 require呢？是将require the recall of the automobile理解成condition？还是把require 这个active verb理解成特例？谢谢大家  对 so...as to 真的是理解困难。

骄傲也是傻乐啊

为什么好像没看到Ron解释为什么“I study so hard as to get a good grade” 这句话 doesn't make sense. 求解释！

OG12-39
In 1527 King Henry VIII sought to have his marriage to Queen Catherine annulled so as to marry Anne Boleyn.
(A) so as to marry
(B) and so could be married to
(C) to be married to
(D) so that he could marry
(E) in order that he would marry

A. 根据Ron的解释，so as to do的to do动作发出者应该是和前面句子subject of action是一致的。这里只有唯一主语King Henry VIII, 所以说so as to的动作发出者就是King，说so as to的动作发出者有歧义（King or Queen) 这种解释我觉得是说不通的哈。CD上还有人认为是因为so as to前面有两个行为动词(sought & have), 所以so as to不知道是修饰的哪个行为动词。对于这点我存有异议啊，我觉得sought to have sth annulled是一个行为动作。我感觉唯一的解释就是GMAT不喜欢so as to...的这种用法，OG说it is not idiomatically correct. 还有就是Ron的解释，认为so as to...是接的indirect intention，而这句里marry Anne是King sought to have marriage to Queen annulled的direct intention，所以这种情况下应该用so that...会比so as to好。A选项，我举得楼主解释得不对。A选项主要的问题就是，marry 的主语不明确。第一种，可以是Queen，King sought to have his marriage to Queen annulled so that Queen could  marry Anne Boleyn.完全可以这么理解，如果当时女同可以合法结婚的话；第二种，可以是marriage，King sought to have his marriage to Queen annulled so that marriage could  marry Anne Boleyn.这种逻辑就很荒谬了；第三种，可以是King，King sought to have his marriage to Queen annulled so that he could  marry Anne Boleyn.这就是正确选项表达的意思。
因为so as to do 的用法，很容易引起 do 的主语不明确，所以常常是错误选项。但是so that 就不会这样，因为that 后面必须+句子，有句子就有主语。单靠GMAC不喜欢X，所以X不对，这种说法是很荒谬的。


B选项，and 和so 两个连词，不对；C选项，同样be 的主语不明确；E选项，没有 in order that 的说法，不过即使in order to，也会是和so as to 一样的错误。
