An adjective modified by enough, too, or so can be separated from its complementation if the modified adjective is placed before the indefinite (or zero) article of the noun phrase [8, 9]:

※如果把由 enough, too 或 so 修飾的形容詞放在名詞短語中的不定冠詞（或零冠詞）之前例[8, 9]，這個形容詞可以和它的補足語分開：

She is brave enough a student to attempt the course. [8]

她是一個有足夠勇氣選這門課程的學生。

It was too boring a book to read. [9]

With enough, the construction is more common if the adjective is premodified by not, as in [8a]:

※對enough來說，如果形容詞被前面的not所修飾，這種結構就更為常見，如[8a]：

She is not brave enough a student to attempt the course. [8a]

她不是一個有足夠勇氣選這門課程的學生。

But with enough and too, this construction seems to be possible only if the adjective phrase is part of the subject complement or object complement (compare [8] and [8b]):

※但是，對于enough和too來說，只有形容詞短語作為主語補足語或賓語補足語的一部分時，這種結構看來才能成立（試將例[8]與例[8b]比較）：

誤：*Brave enough a student to attempt the course deserves to succeed. [8b]

With so the construction is also possible if the adjective phrase is part of the subject or object [10]:

※對于so來說，如果形容詞短語作是主語或賓語的一部分，這種結構同樣可能成立，例[10]：

A man so difficult to please must be hard to work with. [10]

So difficult a man to please must be hard to work with. [10]

一個如此難以取悅的人一定很難共事。
