‘So’ has a number of different meanings and is used in different ways.

　　so這個(gè)詞有很多種用法，不同的用法有不同的意思。

　　1 ‘so’ and ‘neither’ short answers

　　We can use ‘so’ in short answers to mean ‘also’

　　我們可以用so表示“同樣，也是”的意思

　　• “I like this film” “So do I.”

　　• “I’m tired” “So am I.”

　　• She’s got a happy face and so has he.

　　As in questions, the verb with ‘so’ in these short answers is the same as the auxiliary verb. If there is no auxiliary we use ‘do’.

　　在問句中，跟so在一起的動(dòng)詞發(fā)揮著助動(dòng)詞的作用，如果沒有助動(dòng)詞，我們就用do。

　　To show negative agreement we use ‘neither’.

　　當(dāng)你要表示同樣的否定意義，我們用“neither”

　　• “I haven’t done the homework”. “Neither have I.”

　　• “I don’t want another drink” “Neither do I.”

　　• He doesn’t look very happy and neither does she.

　　2 ‘so’ with certain verbs

　　‘So’ is used in place of a clause after certain verbs,

　　so用來(lái)替代某些動(dòng)詞后面的從句。

　　• “Is John coming?” “I think so.”

　　• “Are you going to tell him?” “I suppose so.”

　　As well as think and suppose we can make this kind of sentence with hope, believe and expect.

　　我們也能用hope，believe和expect造這樣的句子。

　　Note that we can also say ‘I don’t think so’ but all the other verbs would use not.

　　請(qǐng)注意，我們會(huì)說(shuō)‘I don’t think so’ ，但是和其他動(dòng)詞一起用的時(shí)候我們就一定是用not

　　• “Is John coming?” “I hope not.”

　　3 ‘so’ and ‘such’ with adjectives and nouns

　　‘So’ can be followed by an adjective.

　　so后面可以跟形容詞的用法也很常見。

　　•It’s so hot today!

　　• She looks so young in that photo.

　　‘Such’ is used if there is a noun or adjective + noun.

　　當(dāng)有一個(gè)名詞或者形容詞+名詞的情況下，要用such。

　　•It’s such a hot day today!

　　•They’re such lovely trousers. Where did you buy them?

　　Both these ‘so’ and ‘such’ structures are often used with a ‘that’ clause

　　so和such的句型都很常用于帶that的從句中。

　　•It was so cold that the water in the lake froze.

　　•He was such a good teacher that we all passed the exam.
