It is so that we know that the quality of the work is up to the standards that we want and expect.

这句话不缺成分,什么也没省略。It is 后面是 so that 引导的从句作表语。即:so that we know that the quality of the work is up to the standards that we want and expect 是 is 的“表语从句”。

句子意思:这样(做),我们就会知道工作质量达到了我们想要和期望的标准。


下面是我以前的一个解答,看看这个分析,就知道怎么回事了。

The whole idea of going was so that we could meet her new boyfriend.

句意:去的全部目的是,让我们能见到她的新男朋友。

【分析】so that we could meet her new boyfriend,在本句是表语从句。idea 在本句的意思是“目的”,不要翻译成“想法”。

so that 原本引导目的状语从句,现在可以用来作表语从句,但主语多为表示“目的”的词语,例如:aim, purpose, idea, reason 等。

The reason why you add salt is so that it tastes better. 你在水中加入盐的原因仅仅因为味道好一些。

当然,主语也可以用代词充当,指代前面讲的某件事情。例如:

This is so that you can learn diving skills and how to use your equipment properly.

这样做,是要让你们学习潜水的技巧以及正确使用装备。

【说明】so that 的这种用法跟 because 类似,because 除了引导原因状语从句外,还可以作表语。例如: Your failure is because you have not worked hard.
