标题: OG 177 以前没有解释清楚的一个问题!

177. So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that many business executives fear this country will lose its economic preeminence.


(A) So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that


(B) As poorly educated and trained as many young recruits to the United States work force are,


(C) Because of many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained,


(D) That many young recruits to the United States work force are so poorly educated and trained is why


(E) Many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained explains why


A, the best choice, uses the idiomatic form So X that Y to establish a cause/effect relationship between clauses X and Y. In B, the subject of the as... as clause (young recruits) should be the subject of the main clause as well (e.g., they). Furthermore, main clauses following concessive clauses must express a contrasting notion: for example, “As ill-prepared as they are, they nevertheless find good jobs.” C offers a wordy, convoluted because clause. In D, the sentence form X is why is unidiomatic (X is the reason why would be idiomatic but needlessly wordy and awkward). E exhibits subject-verb disagreement: young recruits... explains why.


红字部分什么意思啊? 谢谢了.

The subject of main clause is "business exectives", it is not logically the subject of the as ... as clause.

但是比如说: As cold as here, W is not a good place.


随便说了个句子, 似乎不用主语相同吧, OG里面不同的例子好像也有啊?


为什么这里就这么说呢? 继续请教, 谢谢goodwish!

As cold as here, W is not a good place.What is the subject of the as...as clause then?


Open for discussion...

主语是W,我觉得这里的 here 指代的就是 W, 这个as ----- as 结构是表原因而不是表比较


略表拙见,欢迎指正,呵呵

刚才翻了一下语法书, 好像没有这种说法啊?


前面人的讨论对这个问题也是似是而非, 不知道哪位NN可以讲解一下?
