so far 和 thus far的区别

so far 是常用的词组,表示“迄今为止”的意思;thus far在中学中不常用,它们什么区别呢?https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-difference-between-thus-far-and-so-far给出了答案:

They both mean until this point or until now (you can use them both for distance as well as for time.).

Both can be used in a figurative sense (比喻的,抽象的).

They can both be used in negative and positive sentences.

So is there a difference? Thus far is more formal. You would use thus far in formal correspondence, legal material, contracts, in academic works.

So far is for emails and in conversations.
