That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault: Alvin Toffler, one of the most prominent students of the future, did not even mention microcomputers in Future Shock, published in 1970.

(A) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault
(B) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said to be at fault
(C) It can hardly be said that it is the fault of educators who have nt anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology
(D) It can hardly be said that educators are at fault for not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology
(E) The fact that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impat of microcomputer technology can hardly be said

答案是(D)

其中c跟d的解釋如下
C Construction that it is ...who have not is wordy and awkward; it also distort meaning and lack completion
D Correct. This sentence has the main clause followed by one subordinate clause correctly introduced by that

以下是我的問題，C中所提到的distors meaning and lack completion是什麼意思?因為除了wordy之外似乎c就沒缺點了~~但distort我看不出來，有那位可以解答一下的^^謝謝

distort meaning --->the fault of educators vs educators are at fault for 前者是說教育者的缺點 後者是說 教育者出毛病的地方(翻的不好 但意思大概是這樣)
lack completion----> that it is the fault of educators who have nt anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology
這句話是說這是一個那些沒能預期電腦科技衝擊的教育者的缺失 句中的it=fault但是這句話還是沒有把缺失是什麼給講出來 所以意思不完整

個人淺見 還望大牛們補充指教 謝謝

(C) It can hardly be said that it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology

it is the fault of educators (who have not anticipated....)
後面一大堆都是修飾educators如何如何
意思是說：是(那些)沒有期料到...的教育家的錯
只有說是教育家的錯，沒有說是什麼錯

(D) It can hardly be said that educators are at fault for not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology

educators are at fault for not anticipated.....
教育家出錯在沒有預料到....
這句話就清楚指出錯誤是什麼....

不知道這樣講，有沒有清楚
我的看法，請大家指正
