OG16 vebal 63 Many kitchens today

白冬冬

Many kitchens today are equipped with high-speed electrical gadgets, such as blenders and food processors, which are able to inflict as serious injuries as those caused by an industrial wood-planing machine.

(A) which are able to inflict as serious injuries as those
(B) which can inflict serious injuries such as those
(C) inflicting injuries as serious as that having been
(D) capable to inflict injuries as serious as that
(E) capable of inflicting injuries as serious as those


除了D capable to； C that 应为those 可以排除; B such as 举例不正确。A/e 无法抉择。
og 答案没有指出 A/B 的which 有修饰问题。 A的OG解释： the term able suggest agency, which kitchen gadgets do not have. 不明白，是说A的able to 表示kitchen 的intention 吗？

which只能代指一个词，在这里which修饰的是processor而不是gadget，造成歧义，AB可以排除
C里面having bee ...

谢谢elusive， 这个which 确实不能跳过两个comma修饰之前那个词。但是og 的答案也没有说a是错在which修饰不清。OG的解释： A  the term able suggest agency, which kitchen gadgets do not have， 错在这里。有没有其他想法？

Many kitchens today are equipped with high-speed electrical gadgets, such as blenders and food processors, which are able to inflict as serious injuries as those caused by an industrial wood-planing machine.

(A) which are able to inflict as serious injuries as those
(B) which can inflict serious injuries such as those
(C) inflicting injuries as serious as that having been
(D) capable to inflict injuries as serious as that
(E) capable of inflicting injuries as serious as those

这里which 有指代歧义，指代前面的processor  AB  out
C。。as  as 是很典型的平行结构  这里明显不平行
D capable to 错误   
ability of sb to do sth

have the ability to do sth

be capable of doing sth

have the capability to do sth

have the ability of doing sth ---> wrong

capable to do sth----wrong

此外任何sc题 从句子意思出发就简单很多 这里原句的意思就是现在厨房里面的工具能够“造成的伤害” 和“工业机器造成的伤害” 一样严重

这里比较的意思 是指厨房工具能造成同样serious 的伤害  所以比较的中心 是在同样的serious 而不是同样的injuries (切口方向 深度 位置一样？what？impossible)

**That/those表示“同类指代”，也就是“核心词指代”，只指代“核心名词”，不带名词的修饰成分。

所以说对于A   inflict as serious injuries as those(injuries).......  厨房工具和工业机器能造成同样的严重伤口（比较的重点是伤口的比较—造成同样的伤口
对于D   injuries as serious as those(injuries) caused by.......  两个不同的伤口（厨房工具造成的和工业机器造成的） serious 的比较（一样serious）


all in all
作对题目的方向有很多，一定要相信正确答案一定是表达最清楚的那一个
此外 关于一个物体能不能+able to 或者capable of  希望有其他的小伙伴指点一下。
一个有生命的物体时可以 加able to 或者capable of的。
从这题来看 og是不喜欢 物体+able to的 但是他能接受 物体+capable of

og后面还有半句说as serious injuries as  non-idiomatic，有个关于as的总结帖里说Ron觉得as...as结构本来就多用于形容词serious而非名词injuries。
另外，able to在这里可能不如capable of强调厨房用于会导致受伤的能力所以able to也不够恰当。曼哈顿上似乎有讨论过can, be able to, be capable of的区别不过我没查到。。。望指点

About 5 million acres in the United States have been invaded by leafy spurge, a herbaceous plant from Eurasia,with milky sap, that gives mouth sores to cattle and displaces grasses and other cattle food, rendering rangeland worthless. 这是正确选项，这里that就是跳过了with miky sap的。og的题

刚才看了另外一道题RON的解答， 贴一下那道题The Environmental Protection Agency frequently puts mandatory controls on toxic substances that present as little risk as one in a million chances to cause cancer.
(A) as little risk as one in a million chances to cause
(B) as little risk as one chance in a million of causing
(C) as little risk as one chance in a million that it will cause
(D) a risk as little as one chance in a million for causing
(E) a risk as little as one chance in a million for it to cause

选B
关于as...as中间的有这么几种
①little、few、 many、much这几种形容词的时候： as little risk as (right)     as little a risk as (wrong)      a risk as little as(wrong)
②普通形容词：①可数名词 as beautiful a gift as(right)    as beautiful gifts as (wrong) 应该改为 gifts as beautiful as (right)
                        ②不可数名词同样，只能是 water as cold as...


欢迎各位牛牛补充指正~~
