PREP 135,有人问过，但没有得出肯定的回答

静心

Prep 135题，关于that

At one time, the majestic American chestnut was so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could jump
from tree to tree without once touching the ground between New York State and Georgia.
(A) so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could
(B) so prevalent that a squirrel was said that it could
(C) so prevalent for a squirrel to be said to be able to
(D) prevalent enough that it was said a squirrel could
(E) prevalent enough for a squirrel to be said to be able to

答案A

(A) so prevalent that it was said that a squirrel could

A选项中said后面难道不应该加上that吗？？

谢谢！

看了幾本語法書, 書上是說只要清楚that不一定要補
如果沒有記錯, 還有一道prep, "saying"後沒有"that".

所以我*猜*say後的that是optional.

有人说是插入语，也有人说是这种情况的主语从句中that可以省略，至今没有定论，盼大家讨论！！！

顶一下，我想问问这句话什么意思？

脑子读破了都没读懂，为什么b不对？

曾经有个时候，美国大栗子树是如此的流行，以致于，据说一只松鼠可以从一棵树跳到另一棵树，脚步落地地从纽约州到G。（就是说纽约到G的路上都种了这个树）

it be said that 是个习惯的用法。that 能不能我存疑，

不过B， a squirrel was said that 好像挺古怪的，肯定不对的。语法上似乎没有问题，翻译起来有点不通：大栗子树是如此的流行，以致于，一只松鼠被说成可以……，

Scientists have dated sharp-edged flakes of stone found in the fine-grained sediments of a dry riverbed in the Afar region of Ethiopia to between 2.52 and 2.60 million years ago, pushing back by more than 150,000 years the earliest date when it is known that humans made stone tools.

A.      when it is known that humans made

B.       at which it is known that humans had made

C.      at which humans are known to have made

D.      that humans are known to be making

E.       of humans who were known to make

答案就是C，用的就是humans are known

不是说问题的关键在一个是人，一个是动物吧？

或者说sb be known/said之类的只可以加to do 吧？

请指教！

umm...不是
idioms of "known" (passive):
- something/somebody is known as something
- something/somebody is known for something
- something/somebody is known to do something
3個的意思都不一樣, 所以不要隨便cross out ;-)

idioms of "said" (passive):
- something/somebody is said to do something.

say/announce(主動時), 後接的that可省

#135的it is said, 我相信是插入語, NY Times上有很多examples

给个例子

A recent poll indicates that many people in the United States hold a combination of conservative and liberal political views; i.e., they denounce big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting many specific government programs for health care, education, and the environment.

新prep214

Scholars who once thought Native American literatures were solely oral narratives recorded by missionaries or anthropologists now understand this body of work to consist of both oral literatures and the written works of Native American authors, who have been publishing since 1772.
