标题: OG88 enough的问题

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

(B) so unrealistic they constituted

(C) so unrealistic that they have constituted

(D) unrealistic enough so that they constitute

(E) unrealistic enough so as to constitute

The verbs are and calls indicate that the sculpture is being viewed and judged in the present. Thus, neither the past tense verb constituted (in B) nor the present perfect verb have constituted (in C) is correct; both suggest that the statue's features once constituted an artificial face but no longer do so. Also, B would be better if that were inserted after so unrealistic, although the omission of that is not ungrammatical. Choices D and E use unidiomatic constructions with enough: unrealistic enough to constitute would be idiomatic, but the use of enough is imprecise and awkward in this context. Choice A, which uses the clear, concise, and idiomatic construction so unrealistic as to constitute, is best.

紫色的部分不是很理解,enough为什么不好?

我的理解是,enough一般用于肯定的情况,如果这句是realistic,那用enough也是可以的,但如果是否定的情况,用enough就有点别扭.

楼上的说法不能理解, 麻烦说的再详细一点。

另外再贴出一题：

103. Students in the metropolitan school district lack math skills to such a large degree as to make it difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming ever more dependent on information-based industries.

(A) lack math skills to such a large degree as to make it difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming

(B) lack math skills to a large enough degree that they will be difficult to absorb into a city's economy that becomes

(D) are lacking so much in math skills as to be difficult to absorb into a city's economy becoming

(E) are so lacking in math skills that it will be difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming

In A, lack is modified by a wordy and awkward construction, to such a large degree as to make it difficult to. B is similarly flawed, and to a large enough degree that is unidiomatic. C is ungrammatical because it uses lack as a noun rather than as a verb: the phrase beginning Students... becomes a dangling element, and them refers illogically to skills rather than students. Additionally, A, B, and C fail to use one or both of the "-ing" forms are lacking and becoming; these forms are preferable to lack and becomes in describing progressive and ongoing conditions. D uses the "-ing" forms, but so much... as to be difficult to absorb is an awkward and unidiomatic verbal modifier. Choice E is best.

还是这个enough问题，请教大家！

help! 自己顶一把!

关于第1题个人觉得如果是unrealistic enough to constitute好了

否则是不是读上去怪怪的?? 而且Adj+enough to do就已经完整了意思和so as to一样

不必重复

第2题我也没选对

呵呵我会最后在D/E之间选D

作者: 薰衣紫草 时间: 2005-3-24 06:56

enough 这个词用在表达程度上是不专业的, 优选答案是so that/so as to. 当然也有例外, 比如

og 47. Displays of the aurora borealis, or “northern lights,” can heat the atmosphere over the arctic enough to affect the trajectories of ballistic missiles, induce electric currents that can cause blackouts in some areas and corrosion in north-south pipelines.

(A) to affect the trajectories of ballistic missiles, induce

(B) that the trajectories of ballistic missiles are affected, induce

(D) that the trajectories of ballistic missiles are affected and induces（E）

(E) to affect the trajectories of ballistic missiles and induce

好在这个enough没有出现在划线部分, 所以不用操心. 但我想说的意思是不要随便制定公理或固定用法.

作者: ford424 时间: 2005-3-24 08:40

这样也可以啊?!

现在没有不代表以后没有, 既然题干里面都出现, 那肯定还是有道理, 请教了!

谢谢!!!

小心把眉毛吓掉

一般来讲在选项中出现enough或so that/so as to, 总选后者, 如

og 163. Found throughout Central and South America, sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs and sleep fifteen hours a day, moving infrequently enough that two species of algae grow on its coat and between its toes.

(A) sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs and sleep fifteen hours a day, moving infrequently enough

(B) sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs, they sleep fifteen hours a day, and with such infrequent movements

(D) the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs, sleeping fifteen hours a day and moving so infrequently（D）

(E) the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs, sleeps fifteen hours a day, and it moves infrequently enough

og88. 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

(B) so unrealistic they constituted

(D) unrealistic enough so that they constitute（A）

(E) unrealistic enough so as to constitute

我给你举例子是想让你知道我不敢制定公理. 其实真正的公理少而又少, 要不然GMAT怎么是一种能力考试而非知识考试呢?

连ETS自己也说选择最优答案, 而不时正确答案.

作者: ford424 时间: 2005-3-24 09:46

感谢MM,这些例子我都明白,但是当年的toefl给我的印象太深了,第一次语法满分,第二次信心十足,却发现很多东西都变了,ETS的辩证法学的是越来越好,不知道是不是吸收了我们中国的精英们到了出题组,Enough这个用法还是要掌握一下,因为说不定哪天就出来了.

大家给点意见吧.

挖掘出这篇帖子, 因为可以回答这个问题了.

enough成为正确答案的必要非充分条件是, enough是以enough to的结构出现的, 除此以外, 例如enuogh that等等一律错.

以上规律经过大全和OG检验, 如果有例外, 请大家指出.

继续请教，解释中的

unrealistic enough to constitute would be idiomatic, but the use of enough is imprecise and awkward in this context：

这里的imprecise和awkward体现在哪里？

作者: ring_cheng 时间: 2005-5-31 18:36
顶一下，有谁能帮帮忙？

作者: Avantasia 时间: 2005-6-1 13:25
我12楼已经说了原因了, 当然不是一个学术派的解释, 具体原因我没有细究, 但是几个大全的数据都支持了我的观点.

enough的语气远不及so..that; so...as to强烈可以理解为“足够于”。但原文想表达的是“非常... 以至于..."因此我认为是一个语气改变的问题

GRAMMAR

enough comes after adjectives, never before : This one is big enough (NOT enough big). | Is it warm enough for you?

enough usually comes before nouns : We haven't got enough time. |Are there enough plates?

Sometimes people use enough after nouns in particular expressions, but this is not very usual : There will be time enough for that later.

!! Nouns used with enough must be plural or uncountable, never singular : There aren't enough books (NOT enough book). | She has enough money to live on.

综上，大家可以看到，enough＋that不可取。

此外，我发觉大家对于语法点都复习的好细致，但是我做题的时候，很多时候好像没有扣这么细，题目也做得出，看了大家的帖子好打击，看来很多问题还要在弄清楚一些。

圣诞快乐哦！！！
