【解读1】 “So + 系动词be/助动词/情态动词 + 主语”句式为倒装语序,表示上句所说的肯定情况也适合于后者,即“甲如何,乙也一样”｡此句式中的主语与前句的主语为表示不同的人或物的名词或代词,所以,在使用此句式时应特别注意系动词be､助动词或情态动词等的变化形式｡例如:
　　1. You are clever. So is your son. 你聪明,你儿子也聪明｡
　　2. Mary likes swimming. So does Kate. 玛丽喜欢游泳,凯特也喜欢｡
　　3. You can swim. So can I. 你会游泳,我也会｡
　　注意:“Neither/Nor +系动词be/助动词/情态动词+主语”表示上句否定的情况也适合于后者｡例如:
　　He isn’t good at math. Neither/Nor is she. 他不擅长数学, 她也不擅长数学｡
　　【解读2】“So+主语+系动词be/助动词/情态动词”句式用于重述上句所讲的事实,表示赞同或强调,意为“确实如此”｡这种句式中的主语与上句的主语相同, So在语义上相当于indeed, certainly｡例如:
　　1. You think she is from Canada. So she is. 你认为她是加拿大人,她的确是｡
　　2. —She is a good girl. 她是一个好女孩｡
　　—So she is. 她的确是｡
　　3. —He can sing English songs. 他会唱英文歌曲｡
　　—So he can. 他确实会｡
