At the corners of four streets he hands his pasteboard to the North Wind, footman of the mansion of All Outdoors, so that the inhabitants thereof may make ready.

他在十字街头把名片递给“露天公寓”的门公佬“北风”，好让房客们有所准备。

【解析】这句话中出现了一个固定短语“so that...”意思是“以便/为了”，表目的； so that 引导是目的状语从句。

例句：I'm going to take an early bus so that I'll get there in time．
          我打算乘早班公共汽车，以便及时赶到那里。

          We planted many shrubs so that the garden should／might look more beautiful．
          我们栽了很多灌木，为了让花园看起来更美一些。

   
          Every precaution was taken so that the plan might not fail．
          已经采取了各种措施，好让计划不致遭失败。

从上面的几个例句中可以看出so that 引导的目的状语从句中常用 will,could, can,might等情态动词。

so that 除了可以引导目的状语从句外，也可以引导结果状语从句,意为“结果......”

例句：I took an early bus so that I got there in time．
          我乘了早班公共汽车，及时到了那里。

          We planted many shrubs，so that the garden soon looked more beautiful．
          我们栽了很多灌木，花园里不久就好看多了。

          I must be getting absent-minded so that I forgot to bring my ticket．
          我一定是心不在焉，结果票也忘了带。
