Lending them an ear so they can talk about their stressful day canreally help.
翻译：倾听朋友诉说他们一天的劳累确实能帮助他们缓解重压。
句子源于《普高课程标准选修课程用书英语第二册》P94
我的剖析是so后面省略了that，整个so that引导的是一个副词性分句，修饰动名词Lending，但so that能这么用吗？我的剖析是不是正确？
【1】Lending them an ear so 【连词that可省略】 they can talk about their stressful day【主语】// can really help【谓语动词】.
备注：以上为动名词短语作句子主语成分，动名词短语里面嵌套一个“so that”引导的目的状语从句。
【2】Lending them an ear【动名词短语】// so 【连词that可省略】they can talk about their stressful day【目的状语】
备注：so that引导目的状语从句是作动名词短语的目的状语。
依据以上2点，网友对以上句子的理解和剖析是正确的。
