※ 引述《starky (毛毛)》之铭言:
: 如题
: 请问 so as to 和 such as to 的中文翻译一样吗? 用法呢?
: 我查了一下例句 看起来好像用法不太一样?
: 是一个当连接词 一个当介系词吗??
: The test questions are kept secret, so as to prevent cheating.
: His illness is such as to cause anxiety.
: 另外还有 so...as to + V 和 such ...as to + V
: 这两个是否也是意思相同??
: 谢谢大家的帮忙欧^^
就你想问的情境,整理一些资料请参考。
根据
Merriam-Webster Learner's Dictionary
such as to: not used before a noun: used to say that something has a quality
that results in something
[EX] The evidence is such as to leave no doubt of his guilt.
= The evidence is such that there can be no doubt of his guilt.
[EX] Her excitement was such that she could hardly contain herself.
= She was so excited that she could hardly contain herself
所以你原句 "His illness is such as to cause anxiety." 指的是
"生病的程度严重所
以造成焦虑"。
根据
Oxford Advanced English Learner's Dictionary 的定义:
so as to do something: with the intention of doing something
[EX] We went early so as to get good seats.
所以 "so as to V" 表达
"意图;为了"。
结论就是,"such as to V"的 "such"用来表达前面事物的程度,如
"nature" (本质) [1]
,
"quality " (品质) "depth" (深度) [2],
"effect" (效果) [3],甚至
"前面整句" [4] 等。而 "so as to V" 相对单纯指 "做某件事的目的"
[5] [6] [7] [8]。
