以下是引用gemj在2003-10-8 1:15:00的发言: 我认为: 1,没见过so as to倒装(到底能不能有待检验)。 2,主要问题在于so as to的逻辑主语是谁不清楚。 千万注意:没有语法规则保证它的逻辑主语就是主句主语。所以,虽然从逻辑上说很容易想到它的主语就是主句主语,而且这样理解起来也非常自然,但在语法上是无法保证的,所以可能造成理解上的混乱。 请看我在帖子http://bbs.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&replyID=110803&id=16288&star=1&skin=0中的例子。
这一点与下面的这个题目极为相似: 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 (E) in order that he would marry 注意ETS在解释A不对时说的话: Awkward and imprecise, A does not specify who is to marry Anne.
今天回过头来又看了这道题我觉得关键是后面的Although schistosomiasis is not often fatal, (it is so debilitating that it has become an economic) drain on many developing countries. C中的是so debilitating is it as to become an economic
关键的错误不在so as to,而在与so as to后面的动词所表达的意思不同。
该句中so as to只能用于简单的系表结构无法表达出后面从句it has become的意思来!
因为OG的解释只有一句:and C uses an awkward and wordy construction in place of a that... clause.

请大家指正!
A和C中has become和become确实由于时态不同会引起语义的差别。我也是这样判断排除的。但是前面说的so as to倒装不好也有道理。至少这道题怎么读怎么不对劲。
