PETS－2语法讲解(144)

You have such good taste.
　　对话
　　Tracy: So this is your new apartment.
　　Charlene: Yes, I moved in a month ago.
　　Tracy: Well I have to say it looks fantastic. Did you decorate and furnish it yourself?
　　Charlene: Yes I did. It took me quite a lot of time.
　　Tracy: Well I must say you have such good taste in interior decor. It could have been done by a professional designer.
　　Charlene: Oh I don't think so, but I'm glad you think it's nice.
　　特蕾西：这就是你的新公寓套房。
　　查伦：没错，我上个月才搬进来。
　　特蕾西：嗯，很漂亮啊。你是自己装修、布置的吗？
　　查伦：没错，这花了我不少时间。
　　特蕾西：你在室内装饰方面实在很有品味。专业设计师也不过如此。
　　查伦：啊，不敢当，但谢谢你欣赏。
　　特蕾西称赞查伦说：You have such good taste in interior decor。Decor本是法文，指房间等的装饰，后来被英文借用，例如：We had an interior designer design the decor of the new office（我们聘请了室内设计师，设计新办公室的布置）。留意such good taste这说法。Such是‘如此’，有强调作用，其后须接名词。例如：(1) There was such a (large) crowd of people that there was not enough food（人数众多，但食物不足）。(2) Did you expect such (good) weather?（你有没有预料到这样（好）的天气？）So和such一样，也是‘如此’的意思，也有强调作用。但so之后不必接名词，可径用一个形容词(adjective)或副词(adverb)，例如：(1) She is so beautiful!（她很美丽！）(2) He dances so gracefully!（他跳舞非常优雅！）So之后假如接名词，则这名词必须用a、an、much、many、few、little等字带出，a、an之前更必须有形容词，例如：(1) There was so large a crowd of people that there was not enough food。(2) There were so many people that there was not enough food。第一句so large a crowd等于such a large crowd，两个说法的形容词位置不同，切勿混淆。假如名词不是用a、an、much、many、few、little等字带出，则不可用so加强语气。例如你可以说He is so good a man（他这个人很好），却不可说They are so good men。
