这边遇到了几道题,有点迷惑,有的使用so...as to有的用so...that
我的理解是判断错误要看是否让修饰的词语产生了主动去做的歧义?
题目1
Technically, “quicksand” is the term for sand that is so saturated with water as to acquire a liquid’s character.
A. that is so saturated with water as to acquire a liquid’s character
B. that is so saturated with water that it acquires the character of a liquid (√)
我看到有的解释说 A中可能有歧义变成 water acquire了液体的性质,而不是sand,不太明白这一点,为什么会产生修饰到water的问题呢?B说有it代词指代不明,但是相比起来问题更小,这个可理解
题目2
Often major economic shifts are so gradual as to be indistinguishable at first from ordinary fluctuations in the financial markets.
A. so gradual as to be indistinguishable (√)
C. so gradual that they are unable to be distinguished
这里说unable出现让economic shifts有了主动地去被识别的意思,所以不合适
题目3
A newstudy suggests that the conversational pace of everyday life may be so brisk.................... sense of speech.
B.that it hampers the ability of some children to distinguish discrete sounds andwords and, as a result, to make (√) (to distinguish和 to make平行,asa result 插入语引导结果状语) E. asto hamper the ability of some children for distinguishing discrete sounds andwords, resulting in being unable to make (so…as to不好,可能动作发出者成life)
请问大家这么理解对吗
