Lesson 2 Monster or fish
是妖还是鱼？

文章讲解

Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea. Though people have often laughed at stories told by seamen, it is now known that many of these 'monsters' which have at times been sighted are simply strange fish. Occasionally, unusual creatures are washed to the shore, but they are rarely caught out at sea. Some time ago, however, a peculiar fish was caught near Madagascar. A small fishing boat was carried miles out to sea by the powerful fish as it pulled on the line. Realizing that this was no ordinary fish, the fisherman made every effort not to damage it in any way. When it was eventually brought to shore, it was found to be over thirteen feet long. It had a head like a horse, big blue eyes, shining silver skin, and a bright red tail. The fish, which has since been sent to a museum where it is being examined by a scientist, is called an oarfish. Such creatures have rarely been seen alive by man as they live at a depth of six hundred feet.

So/such区别

(1)so是副词，用来修饰形容词或副词。例如:
例：I am so glad to hear from my friend. 收到我朋友的信我真高兴。
例：He writes so well. 他写得这么好。

(2)such是形容词，用来修饰名词(名词前面可以带形容词，也可以不带)。如果修饰单数可数名词，其后需加不定冠词a或an.例如:
例： He told us such a funny story. 他给我们讲了一个这么有趣的故事。
例：You are interested in such things. 你对这种事感兴趣。


注意：
当单数可数名词前面有形容词修饰时，也可以用so,　但要改变冠词的位置
例: He told us so funny a story.

巧记so和such的用法
名前such,　形，副so，多多少少也用so.
little属特殊，“小”用such,“少”用so.

说明：a.当名词前有many, much, few和little等词修饰时，要用so而不用such.　

例：I have had so many falls that I'm black and blue all over.我摔了很多跤，以致全身青一块紫一块的。
例：There is so little time that we can't finish work on time.只有这么少的时间，我们无法按时完成工作。

当little作“小的”讲，修饰名词时，其前面仍须用such,　而不用so.　
例：They are such little children that they can't do anything.这些孩子太小了，无法做任何事情。
