Meantime Cox had gone home from his office and told his wife all
about the strange thing that had happened, and they had talked it over
eagerly, and guessed that the late Goodson was the only man in the town
who could have helped a suffering stranger with so noble a sum as twenty
dollars.
不懂的是:with so noble a sum as twenty dollars. with+so+adj+a+名词+as...
这是一种固定用法吗? 可否改成with such a+名词呢? 例如这里可否改成with such a noble sum as twenty dollars. ?
“such a/an +adj. +名词”= “so+adj.+a/an+名词”。当形容词修饰表泛指的单数可数名词时,不定冠词“a (an)”通常位于形容词之前,但当形容词被how, so, as, too, that, enough等程度副词修饰时,要将副词和形容词一起置于冠词前面。例如:
You can hardly imagine how clever a boy he is. 你几乎想象不到那孩子有多聪明。
I have never seen so kind a man. 我从没见过这么善良的人。
That’s too hard a task for me. 那对我来说是太艰巨的任务。
She is careful enough a nurse to tend patients. 她是一位照料病人足够细心的护士。
