so big a car与that big a car的用法问题

问题描述

下面哪句对? 或是两句都对?

I have never seen so big a car.

I have never seen that big a car.

老师答疑

沅老师：

下面两者都对：

I have never seen so big a car.

I have never seen that big a car.

也可以说成：

I have never seen a car so big.

I have never seen a car that big.

当然也可以说成：

I have never seen such a big car.

黎老师：

     在口语中，that可以用作程度副词来代替so或very（那么，这么，很，非常）,放在形容词（或副词）原级的前面。例如：He's not that rich. (摘自 Macmillan Dictionary by W.D.Halsey,etc.)他并不那么有钱。 How could she sing that well after only one lesson? (摘自 Macmillan Dictionary by W.D.Halsey,etc.)她只上了一次课，怎么会唱得这么好？

    “副词 + 形容词 + 不定冠词 + 可数名词单数”是正确的用法。所以，下面的句子都是正确的：I have never seen so big a car. / I have never seen that big a car.
