that的用法

    Their reflexes were that many times normal speed, to make up for the abnormal gravity.

    Emerge from the car that we may look at you.

老师好,that算是一个小词,我发现自己有时无法区分其在语境中的词性和意思,想听听老师们怎么分析that这个词的。

比如以上两个例句,第一个例句我不知道that是什么意思;第二个例句我猜测是连词,意思是为了

Their reflexes were that many times normal speed, to make up for the abnormal gravity.

that在此为指示/程度副词,等于so。so many times normal speed.

that的这种用法属于非正式语体,修饰形容词、副词、many/much等,表示程度。例如:

I can't read that thick a book. 我读不了那么厚的书。

I cant read that many books. 我读不完那么多的书。

He is not that stupid.

I can't go that far.


Emerge from the car (so) that we may look at you.

这里that为从属连词,引到目的状语从句。等于so that, 比so that更为正式。


that可以是指示代词、指示/程度副词、关系代词、关系副词、从属连词(引导原因状语从句、目的状语从句、结果状语从句、名词性从句等)、名词替代词。

Their reflexes were that many times normal speed, to make up for the abnormal gravity.   
【翻译】他们的反应能力是正常速度的许多倍,以弥补异常的重力。
Emerge from the car that we may look at you.
这是祈使句,that 等于 so that 引导目的状语从句。
【翻译】从车里出来,我们可以看看你。

 

我认为,第一句的 that 是替代词,虽然 reflexes 是复数,但表达单数概念(指:反应能力),所以用单数 that 替代。其二,句子结构应为:“能力是能力”,不是“能力是速度”,所以用替代词 that 指能力,然后加上一个名词词组 many times normal speed 作后置定语修饰 that 。像 normal speed,  my age,  this size  等表示“度量概念” 的名词词组可以直接作后置定语,其实是前面省略了of。这些词前面还可以加“倍数”修饰。例如:

That is a box (of) twice this size.

Tom is a man (of) three times my age.

关于 that 用作程度副词(等于 so),放在本句可以不可以呢?这需要句意决定,如果词不达意,就要排除。

假定 that 是程度副词(so), 那么 to make up for the abnormal gravity,就变成了“结果状语” ,而不是“目的状语”。但我感觉不是。

 

reflexes 复数形式,表示“单数概念”:反应能力。

N-PLURAL Your reflexes are your ability to react quickly with your body when something unexpected happens, for example when you are involved in sports or when you are driving a car. 迅速反应能力
