39. In 1527 King Henry VIII sought to have his marriage to Queen Catherine annulled so as to marry Anne Boleyn. (A) so as to marry (B) and so could be married to (C) to be married to (D) so that he could marry (E) in order that he would marry
Grammatical construction; Idiom Th is sentence should use the construction x happened so that y could happen; so introduces a clause of purpose, explaining the reason for the action in the main clause. Henry … sought to have his marriage … annulled so that he could marry Anne Boleyn. Th e relationship between the two clauses is clear. A So as to marry is not idiomatically correct; it does not identify who will marry. 各位大侠 为什么A不对? 我觉得so as to 连接的句子前后主语一致 没必要再强调he.....
其实这题Ron不是这么认为的。很多native speaker都觉得,这题没有任何歧义,so as to没有change of subject. 这题关键是"so as to"表示indirect intention.....算了不说了,让lz搜索吧,之前讨论很详细了
这位同学,发贴之前先搜索一下吧,就在昨天前天版上还有篇专门讨论"so as to"的呢

So as to前面有两个可以执行动作的人,所以有歧义。同楼上,去找讨论过的帖子吧。我记得泾渭不凡的帖子上说得很清楚。哈哈,baby姐姐好久不见! 现在上课了,看书的时间骤然少了呀。。。555

baby姐,我查找了Ron的解释,Ron只是说 The biggest problem with A is that it's not as immediately clear that HE wants to marry A.B. (it takes a couple of readings-through, for me at least, to figure that out for sure). 我觉得这个解释也挺模糊的。。。。没有看到你所说的那个indirect intention,还请姐姐明示~~
