So he shut himself up in his castle, whose impregnable strength was such as defied a siege

【翻译】所以他把自己关在他的城堡里,城堡的结实程度是坚不可摧,足以抵挡住围攻。

such 通常用作“限定词”,如果被用作表语(如本句),一般视为“代词”用法,后面可以接that 引导的结果状语从句;也可以接as 引导的从句,传统语法称为“定语从句”,现代语法称为“比较从句”。本句便是此用法,as defied a siege 从句完整,不缺成分, as 暗示着充当了从句的主语。defy a siege:抵抗围攻。

as defied a siege 也可以换成不定式,表示结果,为 such(...)as to...结构。

So he shut himself up in his castle, whose impregnable strength was such as to defy a siege. 

▲这句话的结构是:主语 + be + such (主句)as ...(比较状语)

▲such 作be 的表语,意为“如此的;这样的”,as ...是对such 的描述或是such 的结果。

such 跟so 的区别是:such 是限定词,可以作定语;可以是代词作表语;so 是副词,修饰形容词或副词,但不可单独作表语。试比较:

She is such a nice girl that everyone likes her.(such 作定语)

such可以作定语,也可以直接作表语,例如:

The girl is such that everyone likes her.(such 作表语)

The girl is so nice that everyone likes her.(so 是副词修饰nice)

▲关于such 后面接的两种用法,举例对比说明:

His rashness is such as often cuases unnecessary risk.(比较从句)

His rashness is such that he often runs unnecessary risk.(结果从句)

So he shut himself up in his castle, whose impregnable strength was such as defied a seige.

于是他把自己关在城堡里,城堡里坚不可摧的力量足以抵挡围攻

Whose impregnable strength was such as defied a seige.

按照传统语法结构分析:as 引导定语从句 表语+定语从句

Whose impregnable strength was such as defied a seige.

按照现代语法分析:as 引导比较状语从句
