so...that中 that引导的目的状语从句时 that可省吗

老师好，

问一个比较细节的问题

查阅牛津4 的so...that可知，so...that句型中，that可以引导结果状语从句（that可省，这个很常见，比如She spoke so quietly I could hardly hear her.）。

但that也可引导目的状语从句，比如：

He has so organized his life that his wife suspects nothing,

他把生活安排得井井有条，为的是不让妻子有任何怀疑。

我想问的是，此时that仍然可以省吗？

（对比一下，so that中，无论是结果，还是目的，that是都可以省略的）

谢谢老师。

He has so organized his life that his wife suspects nothing,

这是结果状语，不是目的状语。从句时态告诉你了。另外，so...that...不可引导目的状语。so that才可以。句子改动一下，可以用that引导目的状语（正式语体）。

He has organized his life that his wife may suspect nothing.

【答】牛津高阶双解对这句话，理解和翻译都有误。that 引导的是“结果状语从句”，不是目的。

这句话，that 不可省略！

在引导结果状语从句中，so 和 that 可省略其中一个：

1. He was so hard-working that he finally succeeded.

2. He was hard-working so that that he finally succeeded.

3. He was hard-working that he finally succeeded.

4. He was hard-working so he finally succeeded.

5. He was so hard-working he finally succeeded. （误）

注意字眼：在引导结果状语从句中，so 和 that 可省略其中一个，但必须保留一个。
