标题: 最新真题15题中的一道11

11.   Since conscious patients often died of shock on the operating table, the invention of anesthesia was essential to the development of surgery as the invention of the propeller was to powered flight.


(A) the invention of anesthesia was essential to the development of surgery as the invention of the propeller was to powered flight


(B) inventing anesthesia was as essential for the development of surgery as the invention of the propeller was for powered flight


(C) the invention of anesthesia was as essential in the development of surgery much as the invention of the propeller had been for powered flight


(D) the invention of anesthesia was as essential to the development of surgery as the invention of the propeller was to powered flightD


(E) the invention of anesthesia was essential to the development of surgery, so was the invention of the propeller essential to powered flight


A错在哪里?

A想表达的是一个比较,但是仅有一个as无法表达这种关系,仔细比较一下A和D就能发现这个差异。

有点疑问啊,be as...as 中间部分一般可以前后共享,但D的"as...as"里夹了个"to the development of surgery "看上去不爽.

我意识到了A选项只有一个AS,但是我想这里的AS用法是:引导句子,表比较。

A中缺乏明确的比较对象,而D就避免了这个问题,A as essential ... as B明确比较对象是A和B在essential方面。

以下是引用stoneren在2004-7-21 11:24:00的发言:
A中缺乏明确的比较对象,而D就避免了这个问题,A as essential ... as B明确比较对象是A和B在essential方面。

我觉得A可理解为"anesthesia was essential 就如同/类似于/好像 propeller was essential",不需要对essential作程度上的比较,

而且,"as...as"中间部分往往是后半句省略的部分,但D里"to the development of surgery"让我很难接受,还请牛牛指点.

haha, 刚刚发现lucre gg和luoffice是同一个人, 就称呼您为lucre了,简洁嘛...  

lucre gg是不是认为,A的结构是B was as A was, 有点类似于As A do, B do? 我觉得这样的结构,应该要有逗号. 这点只是感觉,请NN指正。

as ... as 比较的共同部分essential被省略了, to the development surgery不能省,因为不是共同的部分. 麻醉对手术发展是essential的,而不是对有动力的飞机essential.

As A do, B do一定要有逗号, 但A do (,) as B do却不一定

no no no, I mean. 由 "A as XX as B"应该可以得出 "A XX" 和"B XX" (请NN确认这个理解是否正确)

但在D里

“B”="the development of surgery as the invention of the propeller was to powered flight"

"XX"="essential to the development of surgery "

"B XX"成了“the development of surgery as the invention of the propeller was essential to the development of surgery(and?/or?) to powered flight

As A do, B do一定要有逗号, 但A do (,) as B do却不一定

可以举个例子吗?如果A do as B do的话,那么句子里有两个主语,我感觉这好像是不允许的,除了比较句,如as ... as/ than。

D里面有两个as啊,按照你的说法,A as xx as B, B应该是第二个as后面的部分啊,

so B=the invention of the propeller


作者: luoffice    时间: 2004-7-21 23:34

oops, c&p错了


“B”="the invention of the propeller was to powered flight"

"XX"="essential to the development of surgery "

"B XX"成了“the invention of the propeller was essential to the development of surgery(and?/or?) to powered flight

A do as B do的例子

看来,还是A正确了。A is as essential to B as to C, 第二个as后不能跟句子,大家觉得对吗?


作者: rhod    时间: 2004-7-22 13:10

和lucre gg商榷一下。

1. 首先,我收回我前面提到的话

"句子里有两个主语,我感觉这好像是不允许的,除了比较句,如as ... as/ than"
. 大全里有很多反例,所以我收回。

2. 关于lucre在google上搜到的例句,我不能被说服。理由如下:

a. ETS有自己prefer的语法结构,而google却是包罗万象。比如,google上有无数条consider sth to be sth, 甚至longman上也有类似例句,但是ETS仍然prefer consider sth sth. 所以,我保留原来意见,就是要有一个逗号,除非能从大全上找出一个反例。

b. 我搜索了一下大全,毫无例外,都是有逗号的。事实上,我看到A的时候犹豫了一下,就是考虑到有可能是A do as B do。但是马上就排除了,因为没有逗号,长得不象平时看到的正确答案。

这里是我找的一些大全的题号: 79, 171, 255, 440, 564, 639, 689, 895, 965.

3. 请注意D选项中省略的是essential, 而to powered flight没有省略,就是很明确的告诉我们共同部分是essential, 不是to短语,所以不能认为"the invention of the propeller was essential to the development of surgery(and?/or?) to powered flight".

请斧正.

第二个as后不能跟句子,大家觉得对吗?

mm这个认识是错误的,比较句型里这是可以的,比如OG 89.

A recent national study of the public schools shows that there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were four years ago.

(A) there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were

(B) there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were

(C) there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were

(D) every thirty-two pupils now have one microcomputer, four times as many than there wereC

(E) every thirty-two pupils now has one microcomputer, four times as many as

Still not fully understand why A is not right.

Need more help.


作者: rhod    时间: 2004-7-30 10:55
这里应该是一个as...as比较结构,而不是A is as B is的结构。理由见13楼.
作者: joe11    时间: 2004-8-4 00:24

Simplify the sentence structure:

A. the invention was essential as invention

D. the invention was as essential as invention

D. is better.  But A is not necessarily wrong. Grammatically, it is not wrong, just doesn't convey the right message.

Agree ??  

rhod is right. as ... as structure express the meaning more precisely.

I checked "这里是我找的一些大全的题号: 79, 171, 255, 440, 564, 639, 689, 895, 965.", but fail to discover the connection with 'as'.  I'm lost.


作者: teresha    时间: 2004-8-4 04:15

我刚好作完这15题,我先用essential to 排除了B, C, 接着用as...as... 排除A, E.
