误:He had so obstinate characters that no one liked him.
正:He had so obstinate a character that no one liked him.
意:他的性格非常固执,没有人喜欢他。
根据英语语法,当 as, how, so, too 修饰“形容词+名词”时,其中的“名词”应是单数可数名词(即名词前应有不定冠词),不能是复数名词。即:
误:as / how / so / too+形容词+名词(复数)
正:as / how / so / too+形容词+a / an+名词(单数)
类似例句如:
She is as good a cook as her mother. 她像她母亲一样会做饭。
It was so hot a day that I could hardly work. 天热得我简直没法工作。
How good a pianist is he? 他钢琴弹得怎么样?
The song was in too high a key for the singer. 这支歌的调子对这位歌手来说是太高了。
用作程度副词的 this, that 也有类似用法。如:
I’ve never seen this thick a book. 我从没见过这么厚的书。
I can’t believe he was that good an actor. 我简直不敢相信他是那么好的一位演员。
