Consumer confidence levels, which many economists consider an early indication of the economy’s direction, sagged as the stock market tumbled, but not dramatically enough for giving a clear picture of new spending patterns.
(A) tumbled, but not dramatically enough for giving
(B) tumbled, but not dramatically enough to give
(C) tumbled, and not so dramatically as to have given
(D) has tumbled, and not so dramatically enough to give
(E) has tumbled, but not so dramatically as to give
(A) for giving 表目的必然不正确.
(D)(E) sagged as the stock market has tumbled 两者应该是同时进行的,后者没有理由用现在完成时.
(B)和(C)比较:虽然(C)的so...as to have given时态有点古怪,但我记得XDF说enough...to do过于主观,在书面语中是错误的.难道是根据经济形势随股市受挫而下滑和清晰描绘新的spending patterns有转折关系来判断？那么选择enough...to do的选项是否也过于牵强？
那么这里为何又选B了？
我认为enough to这里表达很好.
C: 的错误是and, 没有清晰表达but的转折.
如果答案中tumbled, but not dramatically enough to give和tumbled, but not so dramatically as to give呢
lilyzy会选择哪个呢？
为什么在这里enough to do sth就没有什么主观偏见色彩了啊？
谢谢~
我还是选B.
C中的so ... as to的指代不明.
原句意思: confidence level sagged as the stock market tumbled, but (stock market tumbled) not so dramatic as to give
可是可能会让人理解成: confidence level sagged as the stock market tumbled, but (confidence level sagged) not so dramatic as to give...
所以C有歧义. B就没有这样的问题.
我懵了~
jj 为什么
请给我解释一下啊 我还有四天就要考了 急哇~
我觉得不用so ... as to的情况就是so...as to的主语有时候会造成歧义. 比如本句, C中but后补足有可能是指stock market, 也可能是指confidence level.
而B从逻辑上讲enough只能修饰stock market.
另外, 考试的时候考点应该很明确, 象C的and一次就可以排除掉.
