Question

一道大学生英语竞赛的选择题，请大神求解~

It seems a very simple thing to tell the truth,but beyond all questions,there is nothing ___ lying.
A.half so easy as B.so half easy as C.half easy as D.so easy as half

Answer 1

呵呵，答案是A
从语法角度说，half在这里是副词的功能。你可以用almost来替换half，尽管意思不一样。

Answer 2

正确答案为A。
not half as...远远不，几乎不
eg：My handwriting is not half as good as yours.
在此句中not as as可以用not so as 来替换。
说真话看起来是非常简单的事情，但毫无疑问，这都没有说谎的一半来的容易。

Answer 3

B.应该是考察so...as结构
