prep-36
Thomas Eakins's powerful style and his choices of subject--the advances in modern surgery, the discipline of sport, the strains of individuals in tension with society or even with themselves--was as disturbing to his own time as it is compelling for ours.
(A) was as disturbing to his own time as it is
(B) were as disturbing to his own time as they are
(C) has been as disturbing in his own time as they are
(D) had been as disturbing in his own time as it was
(E) have been as disturbing in his own time as
选Ｄ答案是明白了 可是这个比较结构的意思我不太明白 as disturbing (to his own time) as it is compelling for ours.
这块是什么意思呢像在他的时代里很困扰一样困扰我们compelling如何翻译进去呢？？？
请各位指教 谢谢！！！
这题答案好像是B。
考点: 主谓一致（Agreement）
比较（Comparison）、动词形式（Verb Form）
1) 主谓一致: 复合主语A and B的谓语动词要用复数
2) 比较的对象要概念对等
(A) was和复合主语style and his choices…主谓不一致; it没有指代对象
(B) 正确, were as disturbing to his own time as they are compelling for ours表明是过去的情况和
现在的情况相对比, 符合逻辑意思; 比较双方概念对等,两个句子powerful style and his choices
were disturbing to his own time和they are compelling for ours进行比较
(C) in his own time表明应该用过去的某一个时态,因此has been现在完成时使用错误
(D) it没有指代; was使用错误,应该使用现在时are表明是过去跟现在相比(his own time… ours)
(E) 现在完成时错误; 该比较结构是句子跟句子进行比较, as compelling for ours不是句子, 因此
比较的对象概念不对等
句子结构: Thomas Eakin’s powerful style and his choices… were as … as…
