百思不得其解的 so...that VS so ...as to 用法 prep174/ OG37

teresalixuan

prep174.
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(A)

E.gradual enough so that one cannot distinguish them

我认为选C但是prep上的解释是：

so … that可以用作多个主语时，so前面的主语和that后面的主语可以不一样；

so … as to be/do一般用于单一主语，但是不能相隔太远，否则可以视为错误

OG37
Although schistosomiasis is not often fatal, it is so delibitating 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

这题选A
但是按照prep上的解释，OG37为什么不选C呢？

首先prep的那道题，因为这里so that 和 so as to be 在语法上都没错，这是考虑简洁，显然A更好。

然后OG的那道题，原文it is so delibitating that it has become an economic ，意思是delibitating 的不是schistosomiasis而是schistosomiasis has become an economic drain.所以C中it错了，逻辑错


希望对你有帮助
