以下是引用amysarmy在2006-10-17 20:11:00的发言:嘿嘿.OG171在这里啦.. 171. 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(D) (E) in order that he would marry The sentence calls for an adverbial clause of purpose to explain why Henry sought the annulment. D, the best choice, does this clearly and correctly. It is introduced by an appropriate conjunction, so that, and contains a logically appropriate verb form, could marry. Awkward and imprecise, A does not specify who is to marry Anne. B substitutes an illogical coordinate predicate for the needed purpose clause; because the annulment had not yet been granted, Henry could not remarry. C lacks an appropriate conjunction, and the infinitive clause to be married to... makes this choice awkward and unidiomatic. Although E uses an appropriate conjunction, in order that, the verb form would marry is unidiomatic and illogical (might marry would be better).
只是B substitutes an illogical coordinate predicate for the needed purpose clause; because the annulment had not yet been granted, Henry could not remarry. 是什么意思啊..看得不太懂... 不才一直觉得这道题目的答案有错,请看新东方补充教材P256页67题: Congress is debating a bill requiring certain employers provide workers with unpaid leave so as to care for sick or newborn children. (A) provide workers with unpaid leave so as to (B) to provide workers with unpaid leave so as to (C) provide workers with unpaid leave in order that they (D) to provide workers with unpaid leave so that they can (E) provide workers with unpaid leave and 答案是D 新东方对这道题的解释是so as to要前后逻辑主语一致,即B选项错在care for sick or newborn children的逻辑主语是emloyers而不是workers,并非前辈brightcoolsz所说的那样so as to就近修饰。按照这个说法,OG171里,marry Anne Boleyn逻辑主语明显应该是King Henry VIII啊,不应该像OG的解释的那样A does not specify who is to marry Anne. 请高人赐教 |
