OG 88与136

christinahong

88.The Emperor Augustus, it appears, commissioned an idealized sculpture portrait, the features of which are （so unrealistic as to constitute ）what one scholar calls an “artificial face.”
(A) so unrealistic as to constitute
(C) so unrealistic that they have constituted

136.Although schistosomiasis is not often fatal, （it is so debilitating that it has become an economic） drain on many developing countries.
(A) it is so debilitating that it has become an economic
(C) so debilitating is it as to become an economic

88题OG中对C的解释：the present perfect verb have constituted (in C) is NOT correct that suggests that the statue’s features once constituted an artificial face but no longer do so. C中的现在完成时表示该动作到现在为止已经完成了，不再延续，因而是错误的。
136题中对A的解释：是合乎习语的。为什么schistosomiasis 在A中用现在完成时表达它是一种经济实惠的排水物质，就可以用现在完成时，而不产生如88题中C的错误呢？

好问题，顶一下。

一个猜测，请gemj 大侠 和 XDJM 莫笑

1、so ... as to 不能倒装(前人有提到)

2、so ... as to 表示自然而然就如何如何，不随时间而变化；而 so...that 就使用灵活的多

呵呵，136题中schistosomiasis应该是经济上的枯竭，不是“经济实惠的排水物质”吧！！呵呵！

倒装不倒装我不知道，我知道的是：

so ...as  to 后面谓语的逻辑主语是前面的主语。而so that逻辑主语可以换。通常如果换了逻辑主语，就不能用so as to,只能用so that。举例：

You are so tall as to reach the tree.
Gemj are so nice that we shall learn from him.

谢谢各位牛牛的指教！：）
我对136题比较清楚了，有牛牛说过so as to倒装错误，A) it is so debilitating that it has become an economic中两个it都指schistosomiasis，因而A正确！
我不太清楚的是：为什么88题C用现在完成时不对（they指代the features清楚），而136题用A中的现在完成时就可以呢？

请问shellyaaa JJ：）
因为136的C中的so as to 后的逻辑主语是主句主语：schistosomiasis ，在这方面应该没有问题。C如果不是倒装的问题，那A与C就只是时态的问题，即是否用了现在完成时。
schistosomiasis is not often fatal，我觉得schistosomiasis 是一种物质，it has become an economic drain,就译为它是一种经济实惠的排水物质。
shellyaaa JJ所说schistosomiasis应该是经济上的枯竭，是否是指缺少经济开支，请JJ指教economic与economical的区别。

christinahong

136题的A) it is so debilitating that it has become an economic中两个it都指schistosomiasis，如果用it is so debilitating to have become an economic drain替换，是否可以呢？
请教各位牛牛！：）

shellyaaa

首先我觉得倒装很怪，没有必要。如果倒装，也得 so debilitating it is，而不是is it吧！完成时态看句意，我觉得这里用完成时态解释更通点。

economic与economical的区别：前者是指经济上的，后者指节约的。schistosomiasis血吸虫病怎么能成为排水物质那？？？应该是对经济的一种破坏。
