165. To compare the lightning-fast genius of playwright Tom Stoppard with the pedestrian efforts of some of his contemporaries is to compare the exquisite bouquet of a fine wine with that of ordinary grape juice.
(A) To compare the lightning-fast genius of playwright Tom Stoppard with the pedestrian efforts of some of his contemporaries is to compare the exquisite bouquet of a fine wine with that of ordinary grape juice.
(B) To compare the lightning-fast genius of playwright Tom Stoppard with the pedestrian efforts of some of his contemporaries is comparing the exquisite bouquet of a fine wine with that of ordinary grape juice.
(C) Comparing the lightning-fast genius of playwright Tom Stoppard with the pedestrian efforts of some of his contemporaries is to compare the exquisite bouquet of a fine wine with ordinary grape juice.
(D) Comparing the lightning-fast genius of playwright Tom Stoppard with the pedestrian efforts of some of his contemporaries is like comparing the exquisite bouquet of a fine wine with ordinary grape juice.
(E) To compare the lightning-fast genius of playwright Tom Stoppard with the pedestrian efforts of some of his contemporaries is to compare a fine wine’s bouquet with ordinary grape juice’s bouquet.

E看上去也很对称呀

E少了A中的exquisite ，多少改变愿意；且 wine’s bouquet 用的不好，非生命物体的所有，尽量避免 's 表达

答案是选"D"吗？

我的理解是：首先本题考平行对称结构，所以B，C排除；其次，Sth. is Sth.意思是"...."就是"....."，所以有is的结构，is前后必定是相同性质的东西，因为不可能说"Eating apple is eating orange"，而是"吃苹果和吃桔子一样"，故此处同理，由于原文意思是"比较 the lightning-fast genius ....就是和比较the exquisite bouquet of a fine ....一样"，而不是"比较 the lightning-fast genius ....就是比较the exquisite bouquet of a fine ...."，所以A，E排除。

我不知道我的理解对不对，请指教，谢谢！

答案是A

但是，有时候虽然是按照平行结构分析，可以推出A，然而意思上说不过去呀？

我也想问A中的exqusite bouquet是不是既有跟of a fine wine又有跟of ordinary grape juice之嫌?而根据句意, ordinary grape juice应该没有exquisite bouquet才对啊

mariezhu mm 看得果然仔细.

问题就是that是只指代前面的名词，还是包括名词+形容词。我的理解是前者。

当然如果是后者，那么这题为了避免歧义应该选E了. 尽管看上去怪怪的, 毕竟E无大错.

有没有NN继续指点啊...

marie mm看问题确实很仔细！

这里偶觉得是that指代的问题，that与所指名词为同类，但不是同一个。看看下面OG51。

51. While Jackie Robinson was a Brooklyn Dodger, his courage in the face of physical threats and verbal attacks was not unlike that of Rosa Parks, who refused to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.

(A) not unlike that of Rosa Parks, who refused

(B) not unlike Rosa Parks, who refused

(C) like Rosa Parks and her refusal

(D) like that of Rosa Parks for refusing（A）

(E) as that of Rosa Parks, who refused

同理，这里的that 是指courage，而非his courage。

I agree with LES.

To MarieMM:

"that" indicates the same sort of sth that is mentioned in former, but not exactly the former one.

To be discussed...

明白了,谢谢啊
