下面哪句对? 或是两句都对?
I have never seen so big a car.
I have never seen that big a car.
在口语中,that可以用作程度副词来代替so或very(那么,这么,很,非常),放在形容词(或副词)原级的前面。例如:He's not that rich. (摘自 Macmillan Dictionary by W.D.Halsey,etc.)他并不那么有钱。 How could she sing that well after only one lesson? (摘自 Macmillan Dictionary by W.D.Halsey,etc.)她只上了一次课,怎么会唱得这么好?
“副词 + 形容词 + 不定冠词 + 可数名词单数”是正确的用法。所以,下面的句子都是正确的:I have never seen so big a car. / I have never seen that big a car.
