汉语常说“如此容易”,说成英语是 such easy 还是 that easy,或是 so easy?请看一道题:
The problem is not _________ easy. Think _________ over.
A. such, it B. that, it C. such, 不填 D. that,不填
【分析】此题很容易根据汉语字面意思误选C,其实应选B。汉语说“不那么容易”,英语可以说成 not so easy, not that easy 等,但不能说成 not such easy,因为 such 不用作副词,所以它不能用来修饰形容词,有的同学对 not that easy 这一用法不很熟悉,不知道 that 除用作代词外,还可用作副词,其义相当于 so,请看两例:
I can't walk that far. 我走不了那么远。(不能用 such far)
