was so ____ that ... 此處需要形容詞 unpleasant 描述氣味。unpleasantly 是副詞,不能在此單獨作為描述氣味的補語;unpleasantness 與 pleasantness 是名詞,不符合本句 so 加形容詞的結構。
同義改寫
An unpleasant smell from the storage room disrupted the afternoon meeting. → A bad odor from the storage room disrupted the afternoon meeting.
在嗅覺語境中,bad odor 與 unpleasant smell 都表示難聞的氣味,來源及對會議的影響不變。
The supervisor was unpleasant to the new assistant when she asked for help. → The supervisor was unfriendly toward the new assistant when she asked for help.
此處 unpleasant 描述對人的不友善態度,因此可改為 unfriendly toward,保留對象與發生情境。
