In its most recent approach, the comet Crommelin passed the Earth at about the same distance and in about the same position, some 25 degrees above the horizon,
that Halley’s comet will pass the next time it appears.
(A) that Halley’s comet will pass
(B) that Halley’s comet is to be passing
(C) as Halley’s comet
(D) as will Halley’s comet
(E) as Halley’s comet will do
答案是D
根据白勇书上的解释是比较形式的从句里可以保留助动词,省略动词.那这道题目还原省略就是as Halley’s comet will (pass)
疑问是,题目中的主句谓语是过去式passed,那省略的话可以忽略passed这个过去式 而补上原形的pass?
一直都是以为当主句出现相同形式的动词的时候,从句才可以自动省略相同的动词,比如这题主句谓语动词如果是原形的PASS,那后面明显可以省略will (PASS)
概念不是很清楚,希望路过的同学能指点下,尤其是OG上如果有类似的列子也麻烦告诉一下,多谢多谢~!!!
