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.
OG说这里as...as从句是表让步，而且它的主语应该也是主句的主语。as...as从句可以表让步偶同意，但是表让步时主语应该也是主句的主语是不能接受的。
如：As cold as it was, we went out. 从句主语和主句可以不同。ETS凭什么说从句主语和主句必须一致。
我想问题不是在主句必须与从句主语一致
不一致的情况实在是多得不能再多
而这里用as...as明显出现了比较结构,既拿recruits和business executives
进行了比较,而你给的句子中不会有这种歧义
我想这两句话可能应该要分开来理解:
第一句认为在这个情况下, as..as clause里的内容会被认为(而且从它的预期来看,是很可能)修饰主语business executives (而这是不合逻辑的)
第二句指出在让步从句中,主句和从句一般表示对比关系,像GG的这句就有对比的意思.而B中却没有(所以建议不用as ..as)
确实如果合起来就不对了.
偶明白了。还是我误解了OG的意思，阅读功力太差。
我的理解: as... as 有两意思 1, 象...一样, 2, 用于concessive clauses ，相当于though。
做让步时, 主从句有对比意
但是似乎无论何时都不需要从句和主句的主语一致, 如下例子:
As cold as it was, we went out--- 尽管天气冷, 我们还是出去了
As stupid as they are, we walk a wrong way--- 象他们一样, 我们走了一条错的路
ETS错了么?
顶！
又没有人理我，快来看看！
只能說是ETS在這句解釋中講的太武斷也太絕對了
我觉得mariezhu和解释的很清楚啊，并不是og 的错
不好意思 看完了解釋還是不太懂
可否說明一下讓步子句的定義
還有
那這類句型 不適合用As~as 的結構媽? 那OG裡面舉的例子又是如何? (As ill-prepared as they are, they nevertheless find good jobs.)
是因為這題的兩個子句的主詞無法比較 所以在這裡用As~as的句型比較不佳嗎?
語無倫次 希望大家看得懂

因为题目前后这两个分句在逻辑上是因果关系，而不是比较关系。所以不能用as...as这个结构。

这里的 as ... as 是引导让步状语从句
As stupid as they are, we walk a wrong way--- 象他们一样, 我们走了一条错的路
这里的 as ... as 是引导比较状语从句
ETS错了么?
弱问一下让步是什么意思？？？
