SC JJ SC-5 So ... as to ... 讨论，谢谢！

5 有一条题SO ... AS 把我考到了，大意是说，科学技术发展可能显得如此平淡以至长久下来它们会INVISIBLE:

Technologies … so mundane as to be invisible还是as they are invisible

如果是SO..THAT就会好清晰。可惜不是

这里to be invisible的逻辑主语是technologies,即使有so that选项中，也应该优先用so ... as to ...，对吗？

好像是吧，这样so as to会简洁一点

也感觉带TO 会简洁些

1.         Although one link in the chain was demonstrated to be weak, but not sufficiently so to require the recall of the automobile.

(A) demonstrated to be weak, but not sufficiently so to require

(B) demonstrated as weak, but it was not sufficiently so that it required

(C) demonstrably weak, but not sufficiently so to require

(D) demonstrably weak, it was not so weak as to require（D）

(E) demonstrably weak, it was not weak enough that it required

91, sec02-14

Choices A and C entail ungrammatical constructions because they do not produce a sentence that has a main clause with a subject and a verb. In choice B, demonstrated as weak is unidiomatic; also in choices B and C Although and but should not be used together because only one is needed to express the relationship between the ideas. Choice D is best. Choice E is less concise and idiomatic than D; moreover, it is imprecise to say that one link in the chain (the referent of it) actually required the recall. The question is of middle difficulty.

E: it required已经发生，确实需要recall；而原意是还没so weak以至于要recall。

B 如果把 第二个SO去了呢？

WORDY?

fighting127

恩 wordy 而且they can be indistinguishable有点古怪我觉得 A里正好略去这些问题 因为A还原是they
        are indistinguishable

hang13

而且 can 与 indistinguishable 重复 哈哈

fighting127

有道理 倒是忽略了这个

原句没有情态动词的意味 但是B却加了情态动词 to be和can be要表达的语气不一样的
