2. so as to do sth. 为了……

注：在定语从句中，先行词中包含有the same, such, so等时，要用as来引导;关系代词as在定语从句中作主语或宾语等。
比较：He is such a kind man that all like him. that不作任何句子成分
三、课文长句难句剖析
If the person being interviewed agrees, we sometimes use small recorders to make sure that we get all our facts straight.
剖析：being interviewed是现在分词的被动式做定语，修饰the person，相当于定语从句who is being interviewed;不定式短语to make sure that…作目的状语;句中的straight是副词，意为“直接地”。
译文：如果得到被采访人允许，我们有时使用小型录音机，保证我们能够直接记录下全部事实。
四、语法知识归纳
1. 全部倒装
就是将句子中的谓语动词全部置于主语之前。全部倒装通常用于：
1here, there, now, then, thus等副词置于句首时
Then came the chairman. 那时总裁来了。
Here is your letter. 你的信。
2表示运动方向的副词或地点状语置于句首时
Out rushed a missile from under the bomber. 轰炸机肚底下窜出一枚导弹。
Ahead sat an old woman. 前面坐着一个老妪。
注意：
①主语必须是名词，而不能是代词。
②谓语动词通常是be, come, go, lie, run等表示来去或状态的动词。
③谓语动词的时态通常是一般现在时和一般过去时。
2. 部分倒装
就是指将谓语的一部分如助动词、情态动动词或be移到主语前。如果句子的谓语中没有这类词，则在主语前加助动词do, does或did，谓语动词用原形。部分倒装用于：
1否定或半否定的词语，如no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly, at no time, in no way, not until…等位于句首时。
Never have I seen such a performance. 从未见过如此糟糕的表演。
Nowhere will you find the answer to this question. 无论如何你不会找到这个问题的答案的。
Hardly had she gone out when a student came to visit her. 她刚出门，就有个学生来访。
No sooner had she gone out than a student came to visit her. 她刚出门，就有个学生来访。 Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room. 母亲一直到孩子入睡后离开房间。
注意：①hardly…when…, no sooner…than…或not only….but also…中，都是前一句倒装，后句不倒;②not until…后接时间状语从句时，从句不倒，主句倒。
真题：1Not until I began to work______ how much time I had waited. 全国
A didn’t I realize B did I realize C I didn’t realize D I realized
解析：not until…位于句首，主句主谓要用部分倒装，排除C和D;not until句型中不再用否定，故选B。
3so, neither, nor表示“也”或“也不”时
Tom can speak French. So can Jack. 汤姆会讲法语，杰克也会。
If you go to the park tomorrow, so will I. 如果你明天去公园，我也去。
He hasn’t gone there. Neither /Nor have you. 他没有去那里，你也没去。
注意：当so引出的句子是对上文内容加以证实或肯定时，不可用倒装结构。意为“的确如此”。如：
Tom asked me to go to play football and so I did. 汤姆邀我去踢球，我去了。
—It’s raining hard. 雨下得真大。
—So it is.是呀。
3“only+状语”位于句首时
Only in this way, can you learn English well. 只有这样，你才能学好英语。
Only then did I realize that I was wrong. 只有到那时我才意识到我错了。
Only when he is seriously ill does he ever stay in bed. 病得狠重时，他才卧床休息。
注意：如果句子为主从复合句，则主句倒装，从句不倒装。
4as引导让步从句时
必须将表语或状语提前形容词, 副词, 分词, 实义动词提前。但需注意：
①句首名词不能带任何冠词。
②句首是实义动词, 其他助动词放在主语后。如果实义动词有宾语和状语，随实义动词一起放在主语之前。
Try hard as he will, he never seems able to do the work satisfactorily. 他工作很努力，但总不能让人满意。
Child as he is, he knows a lot. 他虽然是个孩子，但很懂事了。
5其他部分倒装
①so…that…句型中的so +adj. /adv.位于句首时。
So frightened was he that he did not dare to move an inch. 他害怕得很，动也不敢动。
真题：So difficult ______ it to live in an English speaking country that I determined to learn English well. 上海
A. I have felt B. have I felt C. I did feel D. did I feel
解析：so + adj.放在句首，用部分倒装，排除A和C;由determined可知用过去式，故选D。
②在某些表示祝愿的句型中。
May you all be happy. 愿你们都快乐。
③在虚拟条件句中有were, had, should等词时，可将if 省略，把were, had, should移到主语之前。
Were I you=If I were you, I would try it again. 我是你的话，就再试一次。
