我也想问,in two years 难道可以表示过去的两年时间吗?

我觉得in two years 虽然经常表示的是未来,但是主要还是表现了两年里的意思,主要是别的选项都错的比较明显,e是最合适的了,至于d,我觉得没有体现两年内的最低,用的low的形式不对,意思变得很奇怪。个人浅见

来自beatthegmat的解释:http://www.beatthegmat.com/according-to-some-economists-the-july-decrease-in-t10204.html

A - we use "so that" to combine two clauses and "the July decrease" is a noun phrase
B - repeats the use of "so that"
C - it is unnecessarily lengthy and stylistically flawed
D - this expression is incorrect, we use it when something lasts for two years so it has a completely different meaning than the original sentence
E - correct - it conveys the right meaning and it is grammatically correct

曼哈顿论坛来自Ron的解释:
the principal objection here is that the meaning is incorrect/unclear: for instance, a 'two-year low level' could mean that it hit a low level and then stayed there for two years.

consider other uses of the adjective "two-year":
a two-year lease is a lease that LASTS for two years.
a two-year recession is a recession that LASTS for two years.
a two-year marriage ... etc. etc.
by analogy, we can see that this answer choice has (or at least primarily suggests) the incorrect meaning: a two-year low level would be a low level that lasted for two years. that's not the intended meaning in the problem.

我的思路是:
首先,so that 表示一种结果或目的,原题并没有体现出这个意思,扔掉A、B
在剩余的CDE中,C选项,would be the lowest,不知道为什么要用would be; D选项,a two-year low level, 没有表达出最低的意思,扔掉。所以选E,in two years, 两年中最低。

以上,欢迎讨论哈

为什么不是结果呢?失业率在降低,结果就是降到两年内最低,这样理解也可以呀

so that一般的意思是“为了。。。”表达一种目的;如果是so that的话,原句意思就变成了July decrease 是为了成为两年中的最低,显然这个意思不合理

字典上显示so that有以致的意思,所以我觉得它和to一样都可以表示到达了怎样的程度or结果,这道题问题是so that引导状语从句,前面都要是一句完整的话吧
