Ryoan-ji was founded in 1450 and is among the most famous Zen Buddhist temples in Kyoto.  Its rock garden, or Kare-sansui, is the most famous of its kind in Japan.  The garden's creator is unknown, _____ is when it was built.  Still, the 15 rocks placed among the gravel can invoke a deep sense of calm.

(A) which           (B) that               (C) so                    (D) as

這題答案是 (D)。  (2015 May 空中美語 活用English 4U p. 24)

這題的重點是[ 連接詞as的倒裝 ]：

1.    在這裡連接詞as的意思是[ 正如、跟...一樣 ]。

2.    The garden's creator is unknown, as is when it was built.

       這個句子沒有倒裝的寫法是 -

       The garden's creator is unknown, and when it was build was unknown as well (too).

       = The garden's creator is unknown, and so is when it was built.

       = The garden's creator is unknown, as is when it was built.

       這座花園的建造者不知道是誰，什麼時候建造也不知道。
