学习难度
英语常用 so、therefore、as a result、which is why 等连接词来表示结果、后果或结论。
It was late, so we left.
so 表示结果/后果：因为“It was late”（时间晚了），结果是“we left”（我们离开了）。
常见易错点
学习者可能把 so（结果）和 because（原因）混淆，或误用 therefore 的位置；也容易把表示程度的 so/such 和表示结果的 so 混在一起。
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
