153. A recording system was so secretly installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office that even Theodore C. Sorensen, the White House counsel, did not know it existed.
(A) A recording system was so secretly installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office that
(B) So secret was a recording system installation and operation in the Kennedy Oval Office
(C) It was so secret that a recording system was installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office
(D) A recording system that was so secretly installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office
(E) Installed and operated so secretly in the Kennedy Oval Office was a recording system that

E awkwardly inverts the order of the subject and predicate in the main clause and thus cannot be logically connected to the remainder of the sentence .

这句话应该怎么理解啊？
是因为E中这样的倒装是不允许的，还是因为that在system之后，有修饰system之嫌？

so that， such that 引导的句子中可以倒装吗？
谢谢！

E的错误在于将主语和宾语的位置搞错了,因为在主句后有一个it, it指代的应该是a recording system而不是Installed and operated so secretly.

我想此句的重点在于考it的指代,即"前后一致".

可是Installed and operated 在这不是宾语啊，是谓语动词的一部分

而且it就近指代a recording system，应该是可以的啊

还是不明白啊，能否再解释解释

我写错了。你说得对！

我觉得一般来说so...that和句子的倒装没有必然的联系，so...that应该可以用在倒装句中。
我通常凭感觉做题，感觉如果E改成了So secret a recording system was in the Kennd
edy Oval Office that和原句的含义就一致了，但是少了两个含义：installation 和operation,如果加上这两个词用A是最清楚的。

我们可以讨论讨论：）

能不能这样倒装的？
So secretly installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office was a recording system that even Theodore C. Sorensen, the White House counsel, did not know it existed.

是不是因为so that ，such that 倒装时，so，such必须放句首，才把E排除的？

好像越来越糊涂了

这么倒装感觉很顺！
好像是的，so that 倒装，So应该在句首。

1, i can't understand why u want to use reverse, making it tedious. normally, when the subject is too long to be clear, reverse is preferred.

2, the subject is 'the recording system', very simple, no modifier. when it's reversed, it becomes really awkward 画蛇添足

我觉得这样的理解是对的，E中的倒装显得笨拙，（而且还不知道语法上是否正确）弄得句子特别别扭，不如A来得清晰

E改成：So secretly was a recording system installed and operated in the Kennendy Oval Office that....应该可以吧。

只有助动词提前，这应该是部分倒装。

So secretly installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office was a recording system that even Theodore C. Sorensen, the White House counsel, did not know it existed.
这种全倒装，被动助动词was和被动的主动词 installed and operated 分割开不知道行不行？
