关于so as to和so.....as to

young729

说实话，这样的解释中国人的思维会觉得很可笑，哈哈。

那是不是讲，so as to he could marry就可以了？

lecherous

从longman辞典上抄下来的：

I drove at a steady 50 mph so as to save fuel.

从语法上来说，似乎A没有问题，so as to的前后主语一致即可。

so as to是错的（GMAT中是错的）

so..as to 与so..that 一样意思，表示太...以至于...。用法不同。总结的很多就不说了

so that 表示因此。别与上面混了。因此有的题把so that与so...as to混在一起，实际上意思不一样。

还有，so与so that意思也不一样。so是纯表示结果，而so that更偏重于表示目的。有 一道题来着，我找不到了。。。

关于楼主的问题，OG10中的解释是这样的

C uses an awkward and wordy construction in place of a that... clause

可能11不太负责。

就是说GMAT不偏好这种倒装吧？

我感觉如果顺序对了的话，although schistosomiasis is not often fatal, it is so debilitating as to become an economic drain on many developing countries，没有任何问题。

恩，完全同意。我开始也选得C。后来搜搜帖子发现，原因就是so..as to不用倒装。如果这里不是倒装，so..as to反而比so...that好。

The idiom has 2 forms :
1. So X as to Y. X = adjective, Y = verb.

  [the weather was so hot as to threaten the crops in the field.
2. So X that Y. X = adjective
    

i think C is a bit too wordy, it would be correct if it said "so debilitating as to become an economic"

If A was something totally weird, C can still work as the correct answer. But since A has the correct idiom and is concise, you got to pick that. Hard question i say !

WALLMAGE

GMAT中只记这样一条规则：

单一主谓：so as to> so that；  多个主谓只能用so that不能用so as to.
