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.
so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could
so prevalent that a squirrel was said that it could
so prevalent for a squirrel to be said to be able to
prevalent enough that it was said a squirrel could
prevalent enough for a squirrel to be said to be able to
enough to do,足够……而能够,没有因果的意思
so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could jump ,it作形式主语,事实主语时said后面的句子,某件事被传说,而不是a squirrel was said,某个人/某样东西被传说
"SO [adjective] that...", on the other hand, is used to emphasize that something is EXTREME.
again, just make up examples in your head -- this time using "so big..." or "so tall..." or "so old..."
if your examples make sense, then, ALL of them will emphasize the EXTREME quality of whatever you are talking about.
B.a squirrel was said 被动表达不够简单
C.so …to be固定搭配错,而且so …for… to be said表达不简洁
D.没有enough that这个短语
E.enough to do 表示目的,跟so that不一样,改变了逻辑语义
D: 没有enough that...,排除
剩下A
-----------------------------------------
adjective] ENOUGH to..." means, basically, "sufficient to meet a threshold/minimum requirement".
"SO [adjective] that...", on the other hand, is used to emphasize that something is EXTREME.
just think about typical examples of being "tall enough" or "old enough" or "good enough" for various things. these are NOT examples of "extremes"; they're just examples of "things that meet minimum requirements".
it was ADJ ...
or
it has been/was/is said/believed...
then the "it" doesn't have to stand for anything. you should just memorize this as an idiomatic construction.
"it was a terrible mistake", though, would be incorrect unless "it" actually stood for some noun.
it is said 意思是“据说” ,而且B的it也指代不明登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
