138.

(B) Although Elizabeth Barrett Browning was considered among her contemporaries as a better poet than her husband, she was later

(C) Later overshadowed by the success of her husband, Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry had been considered among her contemporaries to be better than that of her husband.
(D) Although Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s success was later overshadowed by that of her husband, among her contemporaries she was considered the better poet.
(E) Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry was considered among her contemporaries as better than her husband, but her success was later
overshadowed by his.
正确答案是D
贴下og的解释:
The sentence misuses the locution the better poet. It is acceptable to say a better poet than but not the better poet than. If you have already mentioned two poets X and Y, and you want to say that X is better than Y, you can either say X is a better poet than Y, or simply, X is the better poet.
A This version of the sentence misuses the idiom the better poet, most likely confusing it with the idiom a better poet than.
B [W]as considered among her contemporaries as is awkward and unnecessarily creates a potential misreading (she was considered to be
among her contemporaries).
C The subject here is Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry, not Elizabeth Barrett Browning, so the antecedent of her in her husband could comically be taken to be Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry. Furthermore, the tense of had been considered pairs oddly with Later overshadowed. Each seems to be in reaction to some particular time T—later than T and earlier than T, but when T was or its significance is never indicated.
D Correct. This version avoids the problems of the other versions.
E This sentence comically compares Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry to her husband.
问题:
OG中对C选项的时态解释也就是标黄底的地方是什么意思啊?
Furthermore, the tense of had been considered pairs oddly with Later overshadowed. Each seems to be in reaction to some particular time T—later than T and earlier than T, but when T was or its significance is never indicated.
是“时态会让人不知道该事什么时候发生吗?”的意思吗?
Later overshadowed by the success of her husband, Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry had been considered among her contemporaries to be better than that of her husband.
在这里我如果不看解释,我的理解是,这里如果用了had been就表明better than husband是发生在be overshadowed之前,不用的话因为overshadowed前面有later,还是可以知道better than husband是发生在be overshadowed之前。
所以我不太懂, Each seems to be in reaction to some particular time T—later than T and earlier than T, but when T was or its significance is never indicated. 这句话是什么意思?
