Question

新概念3中的一句话分析？

During that time she so gained my aunt's confidence, that she was put in charge of the domestic staff. 一般来说，我们都知道so....that句型中的so是副词，后面接形容词或者副词。可这句话的so 怎么感觉是修饰了动词了呢，还是修饰了整个前半个句子？此处的so又是什么词性呢？ 谢谢。

Answer 1

1. 题主的感觉是对的，这里so就是修饰动词gained的。句中

so gained my aunt's confidence that she was put…

的直译是“如此获得了我姑姑/姨妈/…的信任，以至于她被安排负责…”，属于典型的so…that…结构。

2. 题主可能是因为见多了so+adj/adv+that+…结构的句子，反而对so修饰动词感到有些陌生了。其实，so修饰动词的情形很常见的。例如：

He so resembles his father.（他很像他父亲。）

He so loves his wife that he does with joy everything (that) his wife wants him to do.(他如此爱/深爱他的妻子，以至于高兴做任何她要他做的事情。)

The student so admire their English teacher.（学生们很崇拜他们的英语老师。）

注：在这种“so+动词”的情形里，so常可以用very much或so much取代放在动词后面。

第一句里so resembles his father=resembles his father so/very much.

第二句里 so loves his wife=loves his wife so much.

第三句里so admire their English teacher=admire their English teacher so/very much.

3. so修饰动词时的词性无一例外都是副词，题主所给句子中也不例外。

Answer 2

During that time she so gained my aunt's confidence, that she was put in charge of the domestic staff.
so修饰gained my aunt's confidence
期间,我姨妈对她非常宠信，因而她被委以主管家内仆役之重任。
so...that...结构

Answer 3

so是副词，副词不仅修饰形容词和副词，副词更多的是修饰动词。
