，but it has reached the point ﹝38﹞I hate living here.
It has reached the point that I hate living here.
reach the point 指 到达某一点，亦即 ‘达到某程度’。
从属连接词 that 引出名词子句做同位语来表示名词。
N that n. cl.
that 引出的名词子句是可用来修饰名词的，亦即是做名词的同位语（appositive）。
这一点要与 that 引出的形容词子句修饰名词有所区别。
＊比较下列两个句子中名词的修饰语相同否？
(A) The news that/ which you brought to her was a great shock to her.
(B) The news that her son had been killed was a great shock to her.
结论：
(A) 第一句的 that 是关系代名词，引出的是形容词子句，that 代替 the news 在子句中它是做 brought 的受词。 that 可换成 which 或可省略。
(B) 第二句的 that 是连接词，引出的是名词子句， that 不可换成 which ，也不可省略。
