曼哈顿语法里第九章idiom课后的一个问题

sirlancelot

有句话The chemical processes were complex enough for them to require additional analysis.答案是错误
书中有例句The book was short enough for me to read in a night.
这是为什么？

还是句意问题
我个人觉得adj+enough for sb to do sth的结构表示“足够……从而使sb能够……”
而如果用在complex上会很怪 变成“足够的复杂 使它们能够……”

谢谢
The chemical processes were complex enough to require additional analysis.
那么这句话为什么是正确的，只是去掉了for them.

这里就不能在加them了哦。因为the processes 是 were complex和require的主语，用 chemical processes were complex enough to require是最简洁的说法。加上for them就累赘了。
但是The book was short enough for me to read in a night， 这里 was short的主语是book，read的主语是me，所以要加上for me来区别主语的。
