问题: 英语高手帮下忙啊,这个句子怎么都弄不明白~~~

句子如下:These two factors inevitable made adversaries of the Navy and the Air Force as the battle between advocates of the B-36 and the supercarrier so simply demonstrates.

官方解释是:这两个因素不可避免地使海军和空军成为对手,他们之间的冲突清楚地表现在围绕着B-36轰炸机和超级航空母舰进行的争论。

可是我就是看不明白这个句子,made是个什么用法?难道是made…as……?可是看答案好象as是个副词用法啊。还有句尾的“so……”是做什么的?

解答:

These two factors inevitable made adversaries of the Navy and the Air Force as the battle between advocates of the B-36 and the supercarrier so simply demonstrates.

1.“made adversaries of...(“使...... 成为对手”)是动词短语,所以原文中的inevitable应改为副词inevitably,这样才可以修饰动词短语。
2.“as the battle between advocates of the B-36 and the supercarrier so simply demonstrates”是个由连词as引导的从句。从句中,the battle是主语,so simply demonstrates是谓语部分,“the battle so simply demonstrates”意为“冲突很清楚地表现出来了”(这里,so = very,修饰simply, “so simply”又一起修饰动词 demonstrates)。而“between advocates of the B-36 and the supercarrier”是定语,修饰其前的the battle. (另,demonstrates应为过去式,即应为demonstrated,因为是先前的“表现”。)
