such that 与such...that 的区别

Question

请详细解释下，such that 在句中语法成分
So the position of The Pacific Plate 50million years ago can be determined by moving it such that a 50-million-year-oilvolcano in the hot-spot trail sits at the location of Hawaii today.

such that 在句中是何语法成分，如何翻译？

Answer 1

such that 和 so that 在句子里都是连词词组。
语义差别：
such that —— 表“结果”，即 that 后面的句子所表达的是前面句子带来的结果，如你的例句。其它例子：His anxiety was such that he could not sleep.
so that —— 表“目的”，即 that 后面的句子所表达的是前面句子“计划”达到的目的。例：
I stopped so that you could catch up.

再看这两个句子，它们所表达的意义是不一样的：
The doctor changed Mary's medication such that she died. （这医生更换了Mary的用药，导致了她的死）
The doctor changed Mary's medication so that she died. （这医生更换了Mary的用药是想要她死）

such that 多见于逻辑推导的表述中，如数学。追问

请问such 在句中如何翻译呢？

追答

此处应该将 such that 看做一个词，根据不同上下文来译：以至于，导致，其结果 等等。
