At the corners of four streets he hands his pasteboard to the North Wind, footman of the mansion of All Outdoors, so that the inhabitants thereof may make ready.

他在十字街頭把名片遞給“露天公寓”的門公佬“北風”，好讓房客們有所準備。

【解析】這句話中出現(xiàn)了一個固定短語“so that...”意思是“以便/為了”，表目的； so that 引導是目的狀語從句。

例句：I'm going to take an early bus so that I'll get there in time．
          我打算乘早班公共汽車，以便及時趕到那里。

          We planted many shrubs so that the garden should／might look more beautiful．
          我們栽了很多灌木，為了讓花園看起來更美一些。

   
          Every precaution was taken so that the plan might not fail．
          已經(jīng)采取了各種措施，好讓計劃不致遭失敗。

從上面的幾個例句中可以看出so that 引導的目的狀語從句中常用 will,could, can,might等情態(tài)動詞。

so that 除了可以引導目的狀語從句外，也可以引導結果狀語從句,意為“結果......”

例句：I took an early bus so that I got there in time．
          我乘了早班公共汽車，及時到了那里。

          We planted many shrubs，so that the garden soon looked more beautiful．
          我們栽了很多灌木，花園里不久就好看多了。

          I must be getting absent-minded so that I forgot to bring my ticket．
          我一定是心不在焉，結果票也忘了帶。

【加強鞏固】下面小編就給出幾句話，童鞋們試著翻譯成so that 引導的目的狀語從句或者結果狀語從句，體會一下兩者的不同之處吧！↖(^ω^)↗

          我們五點半就起床了，趕上了那趟火車。

          我們學習英語為的是獲得更多的知識。

          He worked hard at his lessons, so that he gained high grades in the exams.

          He spoke clearly so that everybody could understand him.
