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? |
