such为形容词，意为“这（那）样的；主要修饰名词；
so是副词，意为“这（那）么；如此地”，主要修饰形容词、副词和分词。

当名词前有many，much，few或little等词修饰时，要用so而不用such。

You have so much / little homework today. 你今天有这么多/这么少的作业。
“such + a / an +形容词+可数名词单数 形式”相当于“so +形容词+a / an +可
数名词单数形式”，表示“如此……的一个……”。
e.g. She is such a lovely girl. = She is so lovely a girl. 她是这个如此可爱的女孩。
