58. 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

正确选项是D, OG上关于E的解释说到 the inverted construction does not successfully convey the meaning of the sentence, 我觉得E的意思和D的意思相同而且明确呀，求指教~谢谢

The fact that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said
要说明的intended meaning是
educators are NOT at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology
不是说THE FACT （已经是事实了。来确认真假？）can hardly be said

D选项的语义有问题the fact can hardly be said, 这句话没有意义吧

E这里educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology撑了fact的modifier
说明它已经被认定成FACT了，理解吗、？
至于这个fact为什么can hardly be said那可能有其他的原因存在——DISTORT了intended meaning~~~
hope that helps

语义重心确实改变了，改变到the fact上了，但是跟它的意思没关系吧

我开始也选的E，但看了正确答案，确实可以体会到E把语义重心给改变了；而且看完答案后，我还发现E 头重脚轻了，英语要头轻脚重

感觉应该是：can hardly be said to be their fault，不知道对不对
