征服英語古德明先生就曾這樣回答以下問題,可作參考
問: Students are required to study Mandarin so that they are better equipped for the opportunities arising from the growing popularity of the language(學生須學習國語,以便他們較能把握國語越來越通行所帶來的機會)這一句,上司把 so之後的 that字刪去,是不是 so等於 so that?
答:作連接詞( conjunction), so一般解作「因此」, so that則是「以便」,例如:( 1) He did not study, so he failed the examination(他不讀書,因此考試不及格)。( 2) Study hard so that you may pass the examination(你要努力讀書,以求考試及格)。不過,隨便一點, so可以當作 so that,例如 Study hard so you may pass the examination。讀者那一句,用 so that是正規寫法,也較適合公文的語氣,把 that字刪去,反而不美。
希望幫到你!
