大全889 老问题(so that / so as to 的区别)

sumerlaw

1.        Unlike a hurricane, which can be observed from within, a tornado is so small that such a study has not been practical.

(A) that such a study has not been practical

(B) that studying it that way has not been impractical

(C) for such studies as this to have been impractical

(D) as to not make such a study practical（A）

(E) as to be impractical of study

我想请问大牛,为什么E不行,明显没逻辑错误,谢谢先!

你这题的关键还在于后面，即study。人家的意思是oberseve within ，后面的such是指代这个的。而E选项的s ...

这个主要so that 后面的主语指代不清； So as to避免了这个问题；

那889不也是相同，为什么不选择E呢

sumerlaw

as to be impractical of study。。。。。这句话我想问题不在so..that 和 so ...as to 的区别，而是应该把of study 换成 to study，impractical of study不知道什么意思，a tornando to study 与 a hurricane to be observed 对称。拙见请指教

有道理，E读着是别扭

The loan company announced it would soon lend money to borrowers with proven records of their not paying back their loans on time, collectively known as the subprime lending market. E B

A. of their not paying back their loans on time, (collectively know as 修饰对象模糊,产生歧义)

B. of not paying back their loans on time, a group (用个新名词 a group 是对的)

C. of not paying back their loans on time, with such a group

D. that they do not pay back their loans on time, (they 的指代有问题,可能指代 records)

E. that they do not pay back their loans on time, such a group （such 没指代）


E选项如果放入原题中，such a group 应该修饰loans，而不是borrowers，关键问题我想应该是这个。。不是such。

1.    Climatic shifts are so gradual as to be indistinguishable at first from ordinary fluctuations in the weather.
(A) so gradual as to be indistinguishable
(B) so gradual they can be indistinguishable
(C) so gradual that they are unable to be distinguished
(D) gradual enough not to be distinguishable
(E) gradual enough so that one cannot distinguish them
答案 A这个C为什么不对啊?

so... as to 结构so 之前的主语与 as to 后的逻辑主语应是相同的，
so that的前后逻辑主语应该是不同的。。。就这么个区别，

sumerlaw

还是没人回答such 指代的问题

给个例子

The loan company announced it would soon lend money to borrowers with proven records of their not paying back their loans on time, collectively known as the subprime lending market. E B

A. of their not paying back their loans on time, (collectively know as 修饰对象模糊,产生歧义)

B. of not paying back their loans on time, a group (用个新名词 a group 是对的)

C. of not paying back their loans on time, with such a group

D. that they do not pay back their loans on time, (they 的指代有问题,可能指代 records)

E. that they do not pay back their loans on time, such a group （such 没指代）

我觉得还是逻辑主语的问题

Unlike a hurricane, which can be observed from within, a tornado is so small

as to be impractical of study

你觉得这样意思通顺么? tornadao is not impractical 还是 study(研究方法)不practical?

而其他两个例子
Climatic shifts are so gradual as to be indistinguishable at first from ordinary fluctuations in the weather.

climatic shifts are indistinguishable...意思是对的

The Emperor Augustus, it appears, commissioned an idealized sculpture portrait, the features of which are so unrealistic as to constitute what one scholar calls an "artificial face."

the features of which constitute what one scholar calls an "artificial face."

意思也是通的.

而且我觉得so...as to..是以致于的意思.

我想顺便问个问题

1.    Climatic shifts are so gradual as to be indistinguishable at first from ordinary fluctuations in the weather.
(A) so gradual as to be indistinguishable
(B) so gradual they can be indistinguishable
(C) so gradual that they are unable to be distinguished
(D) gradual enough not to be distinguishable
(E) gradual enough so that one cannot distinguish them
答案 A这个C为什么不对啊?

they are unable to do sth,我们只说有能力做某事，不能说有能力被怎么怎么， /C的被动语态太awkward

you must keep in mind that we are looking for the best one which means that the choice other than the answer don't have to be incorrect but it must not that good. It make no sense in translate it to our native language.
Of the most important factor is the word order since it determined the meaning of the SC of which means that is a process through which you will grudually know the meaning without know which modiers which.
if the order is not properly arranged then we just know it is awkward.
you do have to know the demand that awkward,ambiguity and redundancy is standard and of quite flexible.
