GWD5-Q1:

So dogged were Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry, and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.

 

A.    and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent,

B.    and lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, so that

C.    her lobbying for wage and hour reform persistent, that

D.    lobbying for wage and hour reform was so persistent,

E.     so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that

这道题的答案是E ，我选择的是D. 尽管E是非常满足平行结构，但是一般用so..that..结构的时候不都是  主语+ 动词+ so...., that......

E 会不会造成句子结构不完整啊？ 我就是无法判断哪个是主语所以没有敢选E

NN们 帮我看看吧！！

答案是E。
…… so that ……是一种结构，表目的。
而……so……, that ……是另一种结构，表结果。

这题想说的是Frances Perkins对于制衣业的调研和工资工时改革的推动是如此的坚持和努力，以至于史密斯和罗斯福将她招入政府工作而不是让她只做社会工作者。

……so……, that ……结构中，前半句可以倒装——表语 系动词 主语。而如果有两个so的部分，那么第二个就可以做一些省略，比如这里的 so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform，省略了系动词。

系动词不一致可以省略么？
一个是were一个是was。

ruclcy

为什么两个so之间没有and连接？难道也是省略了了吗？

ruclcy

後來想想, 原句(6th floor)是錯的, 這也是為什麼GMAC要出這一題.
如果句子變成:
So dogged were her investigations of the garment industry and so persistent was her lobbying for wage and hour reform that she was first recruited by Gov.
還可以對.
有and做連詞, 不能把一個clause和一個很像獨立主格的東東並列連起
所以句子要改成:
So dogged were her investigations of the garment industry, so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that she was first recruited by Gov.
當兩個clause用and並列, 而謂語含一樣的助動詞(單複不一致也成)+main verb, 可以把and換成comma和助動詞+main verb省.
我相信系詞也是一樣的rule.
這個rule來自Handbook of Good English:
When an auxiliary verb is involved and changes form because of a change in person, the whole compound verb can be omitted as long as the form of the actual verb is the same, as in I am going to jail, you to your just reward, in which the omitted auxiliary verb is are, but the omitted actual verb is going, the same form as in the first clause.

从以前的讨论帖里找到的，解释比较清楚~
