257. During an ice age, the buildup of ice at the poles and the drop in water levels near the equator speed up the Earth’s rotation, like a spinning figure skater whose speed increases when her arms are drawn in.
(A) like a spinning figure skater whose speed increases when her arms are drawn in
(B) like the increased speed of a figure skater when her arms are drawn in
(C) like a figure skater who increases speed while spinning with her arms drawn in
(D) just as a spinning figure skater who increases speed by drawing in her arms(E)
(E) just as a spinning figure skater increases speed by drawing in her arms
这里A为什么不对?a spinning figure skater whose speed increases when her arms are drawn in是带定语从句修饰的名词短语啊,复合like后面必须加名词的用法!而且逻辑上似乎与主句的比较更一致,因为:
主句说:the builup of ice and the drop...speed up the Earth's rotation. (即原因导致了结果)
A选项:当her arms are drawn in increases speed (同上)
E选项:通过drawing in her arms increases speed. (为了目的而采取行动,而主句的原因只能是自然发生,而不能被人为来要求发生)
非常谢谢Pumpkin MM的答复。总结一下MM的答复,是否可以理解如下:
Like A, B do. 结构是比较名词;(Just) as A do, B do 是比较动作。谢谢!
"(Just) as A do, B do " is wrong, you have to say " (just) as A do, so B do".You can say " B do, (just) as A do".
And the as clause is not for comparison, it is a so called "adverbial clause of manner".
同意以上,补充:
Like A, B do...
B, like A, do...
却没有看到过:B do, like A...
另外,如果最后一种情形出现时,再找到里面有动词/动名词,有很大的嫌疑会是as,表示动作相似性(或整个句子)的比较
刚刚总结到关于AS作为连词时的用法如下:
(由最优选项到最弱选项)
1. Just as A do, so B do...
2. Just as A do, so too + 部分倒装
3. Just as A do, B do...
想请问一下:
1. 以上三种用法中的just是否都可省略?
2. 以上三种用法中,前半句和后半句是否可以互换位置?
3. 以上三种用法中A与B有什么特别要求?
谢谢!
