67. Congress is debating a bill requiring certain employers provide workers with unpaid leave so as to care for sick or newbom children.


(A)
provide workers with unpaid leave so as to


(B)
to provide workers with unpaid leave so as to


(C)
provide workers with unpaid leave in order that they


(D)
to provide workers with unpaid leave so that they can

(E)
provide workers with unpaid leave and


Choices A, C, and E are ungrammatical because, in this context, requiring ... employers must be followed by an infinitive. These options display additional faults: in A, so as to fails to specify that the workers receiving the leave will be the people caring for the infants and children; in order that they, as used in C, is imprecise and unidiomatic; and E says that the bill being debated would require the employers themselves to care for the children. Choice B offers the correct infinitive, to provide, but contains the faulty so as to. Choice D is best.


为什么B不对？SO AS TO 和 SO THAT THEY CAN 的区别在什么地方？请大侠们指点，谢谢咯！！！

B的逻辑主语不清楚,不如D清楚.so that 加情态动词表示目的.


看看以前的帖子,有一个讨论2者的用法的.

so...as to     意思上类似于so...that，只能用语简单的系表结构，逻辑主语需要和句子主语一致，且不能倒装用


     so...that用法很广，包揽一切脏活累活


         金山上给出so as to连用的意思是：
     adv.
     使得, 以致
     如此...以致于


         意思上so ...as to和so as to是有区别的，而且，现有的题目中so as to连用都错

D里的THEY是不是指workers, 而B里的so as to 容易让人理解为Congress是care for sick or newbom children的主语？因此要选D。谢谢大侠！


你的理解正确

they看起来就是指代workers了，是不是就近指代呢？关于代词指代是不是还有逻辑指代？我一直疑惑，关于代词指代请NN指点一下。谢谢先。

co-ask. why "they" in D refers to "workers", not to "employers"?

Up!! I don't know why "they" cannot refer to employers

so as to应该是单一主体，而so...that可以是两个不同的主体。
单一主体时，so as to比so ... that简洁，所以选so as to。 当时多个主体时，就必须用so ... that了
