to be married to怎么unidiomatic?-og 171

philikittist

171. In 1527 King Henry VIII sought to have his marriage to Queen Catherine annulled so as to marry Anne Boleyn.
(A) so as to marry
(B) and so could be married to
(C) to be married to
(D) so that he could marry
(E) in order that he would marry

C lacks an appropriate conjunction, and the infinitive clause to be married to ... makes this choice awkward and unidiomatic.

说be married to本身unidiomatic，不能理解，这个词不是习惯用法么？

无论是‘嫁’还是‘娶’，marry一般不用被动，而且习惯用A marry B

philikittist

这个我不能同意，be married to很常见，字典也有的。

哈哈，回得好快啊。

be married to中married是个形容词，这个结构表达的意思是状态而不是动作，而原句明显需要一个动词来表达将要如何如何，所以用形容词结构不合适。

问题的关键不是marry这个词，是用了so as to就会有歧义：到底是King Henry VIII 还是his marriage to Queen Catherine 娶了别人

his 不就是指King Henry 吗？我就纳闷了，怎么会有歧义呢？肯定不可能是Queen娶Anne吧！？！

请nn指点一下！多谢多谢！！
