be impressed with sth. “ 对 … 印象很深 ” Have trouble (in) doing sth: 做某事有困难,后加名词 时 have trouble with sth; 等于 have difficulty/problem (in)doing sth 或 have a hard time doing sth. eg: I have trouble learning vocabulary by heart. 我觉得 要记单词好难。 Used to do sth: 过去常常做某事, 但是现在已经不是这 样的了; be/get used to doing sth :习惯、适应做某事。 Be good at doing sth: 擅长做某事。 Be weak in doing sth: 不擅长做某事。

such : “ 如此 ” , such adj. 修饰名词,注意它修饰单数 可数名词的时候,要放在不定冠词 a 或者 an 的前面, eg.she is such a beatiful girl. 她真是个漂亮的女孩子! 当修饰复数名词的时候就不必考虑和冠词的位置谁应该 在前谁应该在后了,因为是复数名词,所以不会有不定 冠词 a/an ,而且 such 这个词不能与定冠词同时使用。 eg. such long hours :多么漫长的几个小时。 So : “ 如此、非常 ” 。是个程度副词,可修饰形容词和 副词,且它修饰的形容词如果也修饰单数可数名词的时 候,用 so + adj + a/an + n 的形式,意思和 such 一样。 eg.she is so beatiful a girl = she is such a beatiful girl.
so 和 such 的区别: So 一般用来修饰、强调形容词或副词, eg.I'm so tired. such 是不可以直接修饰形容词的,它一般用来修饰 名词,但是如果名词前面有 many 或 much 这两个词时, 也只能用 so 来强调。 eg. so much food , so many people
