At one time, the majestic American chestnut was so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could jump from tree to tree without once touching the ground between NY state and Georgia. 这一句中的said后面不是应该有个that来引导后面的从句吗？
在我们看来的确 it was said 后面需要一个that从句来引导... 这个题目实际上是不能纯粹的把这句话拿出来看的 为什么呢？因为别的选项有比这个选项的这个所谓的that要严重得多的毛病 这就是最后我们把A选项选出来的原因 不是说A的表达就是完美无缺的 而是说A的表达是唯一可以接受的 我把prep的135题贴在下面：
At one time, the majestic American chestnut was so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could jump from tree to tree without once touching the ground between New York State and Georgia.
(A) so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could (B) so prevalent that a squirrel was said that it could (C) so prevalent for a squirrel to be said to be able to (D) prevalent enough that it was said a squirrel could (E) prevalent enough for a squirrel to be said to be able to
很明显：句子结构就是 the chestnut was so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could jump… 主语是the chestnut，系动词was，表语prevalent，so… that…结构。
B选项中 a squirrel was said that…这个结构完全不符合句法，因为squirrel和that从句同时做了say的宾语，而say本身不能加双宾语； C选项中 to be said to这个不定式修饰在这里是完全没有道理的，另外to be said to be able to的描述明显冗余，不符合正确的逻辑表达。 D选项中 enough that这个搭配是不允许的，同时也完全的改变了原句的意思。 E选项中 enough to do所表达的含义与原句的so that不同；to be said to被动语态的表达不如主动更明确。
