so... so to / So that 的区别

patrick

旧Prep1- 174

Often major economic shifts are so gradual as to be indistinguishable at first from ordinary fluctuations in the financial markets.

A. so gradual as to be indistinguishable

B. so gradual so that they can be indistinguishable

C. so gradual that they are unable to be distinguished

D. gradual enough not to be distinguishable

E. gradual enough so that one cannot distinguish them

答案为A

但OG-12

37.   Although schistosomiasis is not often fatal, it is so debilitating that it has become an economic drain on
many developing countries.

(A)       it is so debilitating that it has become an economic

(B)       it is of such debilitation, it has become an economical

(C)       so debilitating is it as to become an economic

(D)       such is its debilitation, it becomes an economical

(E)       there is so much debilitation that it has become an economical

答案为A, 在解释c的错误时说C    The construction so x as toy is not a correct idiom.是不是能理解在GMAT中不能用so... as to...这个无法结构？？

而且A中2个It的指代不一致这样可以么？第一个IT指代的是THAT从句，第二个IT指代的是 schistosomiasis

请各位NN帮忙解释一下。

看过以前的NN的解释，还是不清楚，而且SO... AS TO应该是一个考点，希望能搞懂。谢谢先。

看看这里能不能找到答案?(置顶帖里有些知识点总结链接)

谢谢斑竹这么快的答复，几个连接我都看过了，还是不太确定，才发的帖。

37题OG10中C的解释是C uses an awkward and wordy construction in place of a that... clause。

我是今天看了OG12，看到他明确写了The construction so x as toy is not a correct idiom，才想和大家来确认一下。

最后补充一下，我已经来接So as to和so that的区别，主要是想了解，so... as to... 和so... that...的区别，谢谢

谁知道Prep1- 174里C怎么错了？

关于so...as to的知识点

so as to和so that都解释为：为了...；以至于...；参考：OG67/171/227

so ... as to和so ... that解释为：太...以至于或为了；参考：OG20/103/136/153/163/172/88

so as to / so ... as to一般都用于前部仅有简单的名词结构，而so that / so ... that可以用于更为广泛的结构中，比如前部是句子且有多重名词出现，由于that的原因，so that / so ... that不仅可以明确表达主语的对象，也可以明确表达时态。

在实战中，当前部结构十分简单时，我们一般选用so as to / so ... as to结构以使句子结构简单化，但是，当有时态的需要或语序的需要时（一般情况下，正确选项遵循A的顺序，因为倒装其实改变了句子的语气，除非正序结构都有致命错误）我们要改用so that / so ... that以达到明确表达的目的。
