[U]Page 283
In 1527 King Henry sought to have his marriage to Queen Catherine annulled (os as to)marry Anne Boleyn.
A.so as to marry
D.so that he could marry

answer is D.
但我觉得应该是A.因为都是表达作某事来达到某目的。so as to是更简练的。
我不明白。有没有人帮我解答一下。

If there is no D, A should be ok.
D may be more accurate to express the fact that the King finally made it possible to marry Anne rather than a simple purpose. "COULD" is "qing tai dong ci" here?

A用 so as to 不能确定动作的主体（即主语）是谁，也可能是别人娶Anne Boleyn，而按照整句的意思应该是King Henry ，所以d 答案指代明确，无歧义，非常精确。

根据我做错无数次的惨痛经验，如果有SO THAT的选项在，SO AS TO一定错。而且，SO AS TO 不符合ETS的理念，一不够CONCISE--不如直接用TO，二不够CLEAR--不如SO THAT能够讲明白事情。

A用 so as to 不能确定动作的主体（即主语）是谁，也可能是别人娶Anne Boleyn，
这个我不赞同。
因为sb do sth to do sth.的第二个do的主语一定是前面的sb啊？我都快运了

作者: Mush 时间: 2003-1-9 13:18

sumer****好像说的很有道理。（若有所思的样子）

作者: Louisa_xy 时间: 2003-1-9 13:22

不是“SO AS TO 不符合ETS的理念”，OG里好几道题都是用So as to.

作者: sumer02618 时间: 2003-1-9 13:39

Louisa, give me an example. 昨儿晚上看到12点，有点晕菜的时候总结出来的。好象只要SO THAT 和SO AS TO 在一起，必是选SO THAT。

OG 88.目前就找到这一个

作者: justag 时间: 2003-1-9 22:58

Louisa_xy: I don't have OG 88 at hand. Maybe ETS prefer "subject + be + so + adj.+as to+ V." to "subject do sth. so as to do sth."? Personally speaking, "so that" can express more complex and concise meanings, i.e. agree with summer##### to some extent, have to use this kind of "rule" with caution, though.

Sweet justag,you said it! Thanks for you explanation!

作者: VICTOR_JZG 时间: 2003-1-10 10:46

This is No. 171 of OG. Pls check its explanation.
By the way, I have made a small conclusion between "so...as to " and "so...that". Hope it will give a hand to you.
See the next message,

作者: VICTOR_JZG 时间: 2003-1-10 11:14 标题: "so...as to" VS. "so ..that"!!!

关于so...as to的用法: 1.so...(adj.)...as to ...(be adj.) e.g.: You are so generous as to be unbelievable to some strangers. ETS原题: Climatic shifts are (so gradual as to be indistinguishable) at first from ordinary fluctuations in the weather. (A) so gradual as to be indistinguishable[em11] (B) so gradual they can be indistinguishable (C) so gradual that they are unable to be distinguished (D) gradual enough not to be distinguishable (E) gradual enough so that one cannot distinguish them 2.so...(adj.)...as to ...(do sth.) e.g.: She was so kind as to phone for a taxi for me. (OALECD第1440页原例.) OG 88. The Emperor Augustus, it appears, commissioned an idealized sculpture portrait, the features of which are (so unrealistic as to constitute) what one scholar calls an " artificial face" (A) so unrealistic as to constitute[em11] (B) so unrealistic they constituted (C) so unrealistic that they have constituted (D) unrealistic enough so that they constitute (E) unrealistic enough so as to constitute 3. 注意：ETS常考so...as to和so...that的区别： 1). so...as to常修饰adj.短语，作状语，其逻辑主语等于主句主语，通常用于一般性单句(单一主谓句)中； 2). so...that可以修饰adv./adj.短语，做状语，通常用于主从复合句中，不能修饰n.，so...从句若提前，一般需要倒装； 3). so as to 连用作为习语，[em26] 表示“为了作某事”(with the intention of doing sth.)，(通常)只用于单一主谓句中； e.g.: I left a message so as to be sure of contacting her. (OALECD第1440页原例) 4). so that 连用表示 A).“为的是；以便”(with the aim that; in order that); e.g.: She worker hard so that everything would be ready by 6o’clock.. (OALECD第1440页原例) B).“结果；以致；因此”(with the result that; to the extension that) e.g.: Nothing more was heard from him so that we began to wonder if he was dead. (OALECD第1440页原例) 补充ETS例子： OG 136. Although schistosomiasis(血吸虫病, 后面的V.用单数) is not often fatal, it is (so debilitating that it has become an economic) drain on many developing countries. (A) it is so debilitating that it has become an economic[em11] (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 OG 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[em11] (E) in order that he would marry Other asmples are under discovering...[em07]

对于so ...as to ...和 so ...that ..我是这么理解的
ETS并不想考两者区别
拿victor的例子来说

Climatic shifts are (so gradual as to be indistinguishable) at first from ordinary fluctuations in the weather.
(A) so gradual as to be indistinguishable
(B) so gradual they can be indistinguishable
(C) so gradual that they are unable to be distinguished
(D) gradual enough not to be distinguishable
(E) gradual enough so that one cannot distinguish them
C-- 'be able to be done'必错

OG 88.
The Emperor Augustus, it appears, commissioned an idealized sculpture portrait, the features of which are (so unrealistic as to constitute) what one scholar calls an " artificial face"
(A) so unrealistic as to constitute
(B) so unrealistic they constituted
(C) so unrealistic that they have constituted
(D) unrealistic enough so that they constitute
(E) unrealistic enough so as to constitute
C--没有提示要用完成时呀

OG 136.
Although schistosomiasis(血吸虫病, 后面的V.用单数) is not often fatal, it is (so debilitating 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
C--原文没有倒装不可以加倒装,不能没有逻辑道理得加强语气

OG 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
A--这里主语不一致了, so ...as to和 so ...that 的区别在与
前者要求主语一致,后者不要求

另外,so +adj. > such + abstract n.

^^
btw, victor,好厉害!总结和这么完整
不过烟还是少抽为好啦 ^^

作者: Mush 时间: 2003-1-10 12:34

看了各位的例子。我可不可以总结成 1.在表示很--以至于---时 so adj/adv as to(do or be) 是完全成立的。 OG 136. Although schistosomiasis(血吸虫病, 后面的V.用单数) is not often fatal, it is (so debilitating 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 这题这所以选a.是因为c选项是错的。如果c对，则选c。 2.so as to do 作者: sumer02618 时间: 2003-1-10 12:55

OG88中解释C不对时，好象说的是SO THAT 中的时态不对。
虽然VICTOR的解释很详尽，但好象在实战中还是比较容易混淆。估计还得看两个选项中别的因素，SUCH AS时态对不对啦，意思表达清楚不清楚啦，指代模糊不模糊啦之类的才能做判断吧。

以下是引用sumer02618在2003-1-10 12:55:30的发言：

完全同意该观点。
在实战中，尽量找容易发现的错误来排除干扰选项。
我的所谓总结只是希望能抛砖引玉而已。
大家各取所需吧。
