OG57.OG12 57

57. That educators have not anticipated the impact of

microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it

is their fault : Alvin Toffler, one of the most prominent

students of the future, did not even mention

microcomputers in Future Shock, published in 1970.

(A) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault

(B) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said to be at fault

(C) It can hardly be said that it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology

(D) It can hardly be said that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology

(E) The fact that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said

答案是D
我想问的是关于E选项的解释
E选项除了 The fact wordy 以外 就是D选项的形式主语还原后的句子
之前只知道形式主语还原后有头重脚轻的后果但是OG解释说
A。C 选项为什么错误
the inverted construction does not successfully convey the meaning of the sentence
说的是形式主语还原后改变句意？？
因为这个题看了很久，有困难，如果可以的话请把各个选项都讲解一下，谢谢～

A选项，主语从句，头重脚轻，且it is their fault错误，it不能用来指代整个句子，即educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology ；
B选项，主语从句，且at fault的主语一般是人，不能是educators have not anticipated ...这个情况at fault;
C选项，句子主干为It can hardly be said that it is the fault of educators ，who后面的定语从句是修饰educators的，改变了原句的重心和意思，第2个it无所指代，fault是什么呢？不知道；
D优于E就是因为形式主语，结构更合理，be at fault for not doing...也使意思表达得明确清晰。

有些明白了，可是照你这么说，at fault的主语一般是人,那么D项中educators are at fault 是怎么回事呢？谢谢哈～
