so...that..,翻译为"如此...以至于",表示原因的,而..so that...翻译为"以便"表示目的.例如.The water in the pond is so little that many fish have been dead池塘里的水如此的少以至于很多鱼都死了.so后面通常用形容词或者副词原级.She ran as fast as possible so than she could catch up with the last bus.她尽可能的跑快点,以便能赶上最后一般车.这个时候so和that放在一起,而且后面的句子还常常会出现一些表示"能够\可以"只类的情态动词
