in general, you don't use so ADJ as to VERB unless the VERB describes some sort of state/condition. i.e., if the verb is an action verb, this construction generally isn't used. for instance, i am so ugly as to be viscerally repulsive to women. --> this works, because the verb “to be” describes a state/condition. i am so ugly as to repel women on sight. --> you generally wouldn't see this in good writing, as “repel” is an action verb; the sentence would probably be written as i am so ugly that i repel women on sight.
这是manhattan里ron的原话,这个规律很有用噢~~

看来还是要多看Manhattan,新东方入门可以,提高不靠谱 |
