描述假期
用 So 来描述结果
 
你可以使用 So 来描述某一行动或时间的结果。注意,原因(he lost his passport)位于结果之前(he went to the embassy)。
 

Shawn lost his passport, so he went to the embassy.  	(Shawn 遗失了他的护照,所以去了大使馆。)

注意:So 用于引出结果, because 用于引出原因。观察以下句子的不同之处:
 

Emily recommended Corcovado, so we went there. 	(Emily 推荐基督山,所以我们去了那里。)

We went to Corcovado because Emily recommended it.	(我们去基督山,因为 Emily 推荐了那里。)
Hi!

I'm writing from Las Vegas. What a crazy trip! I got lost when I drove down here. I'm staying in a terrible hotel because the city is so crowded. It's snowing heavily, so I can't drive to the Grand Canyon today. I'll try to take a tour tomorrow. I can't do what I want to do, so I'm having fun playing blackjack at the nice hotels.

See you soon.

Jeremy
表达目的
 
使用 in order to + 基本动词表达目的。如果 in order to + 从句位于句子主句之前,使用逗号;如果位于主句之后,则不必使用逗号。
 

In order to reserve our room, I called the hotel.	(为了预订房间,我们打电话到酒店。)
I called the hotel in order to reserve our room.
 	 	 
你可以完全省略 in order,只用 to。事实上,to 使用更加普遍,在英语口语中尤其如此。
 

Courtney went early to avoid the crowds.	(Courtney 为了躲开人流早早就去了。)

你也可以使用 so that + 从句表达目的。如果位于主句之前,则在 so that 从句之后使用逗号,如果位于主句之后则不必使用逗号。
 

I turned off my phone so that I could relax.      	(我关了手机,以便能够休息。)
So that I could relax, I turned off my phone. 
 
你可以省略 that,只是用 so。
I saved my money so I could visit Terry.	(我省钱,以便能够去看 Terry。)
