一道SAT语法的IP题,
大家只需帮我看看这两个表达有何不同即可啦：
When the members of a debate team practice by citing facts in support of an argument or counterargument,they (are literally) gathering related pieces of information into a single mental folder.
When the members of a debate team practice by citing facts in support of an argument or counterargument,they (are,so to speak,) gathering related pieces of information into a single mental folder.
这里用literally为何就没有so to speak好呢?

Answer 1

literally
1.逐字地,照字面地;正确地
translate a passage literally
逐字直译一段文章
2.实在地,不加夸张地
The city was literally destroyed.
那个城市真的被毁灭了.
so to speak是插入语 “可以说;所谓”接近于that is
这里用so to speak无论从语义上还是功能上都是更好的选项.
