A:And do you have any questions?
B:No. But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week. Will you have that many classes for me right away?
A:No, probably not. For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours.
B:But my salary will be 1,100 dollars a month. Will you pay me that much for the first month? Because, I mean, I won’t be working so many hours.
A:That’s right. So in a way, it is cheaper for you than for the members. You get more benefits than they do.
B:So, for now, you want me to keep a copy of the contract. But we won’t sign it yet. Is that right?
A:Yes. I’ve prepared the contract just so that you understand everything. So that you understand the terms.
这三段对话中的that起什么作用?
A:And do you have any questions?
B:No. But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week. Will you have that many classes for me right away?
that 为程度副词,修饰many. that many再修饰classes。that的这种用法接近于so , so many classes.
A:No, probably not. For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours.
B:But my salary will be 1,100 dollars a month. Will you pay me that much for the first month? Because, I mean, I won’t be working so many hours.
that仍然是程度副词,修饰不定代词much.
A:That’s right. So in a way, it is cheaper for you than for the members. You get more benefits than they do.
B:So, for now, you want me to keep a copy of the contract. But we won’t sign it yet. Is that right?
A:Yes. I’ve prepared the contract just so that you understand everything. So that you understand the terms.
so that为复合从属连词,引导目的状语从句。承前省略了主句。
