og 265

265. Thomas Eakins’ 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（B）

(E) have been as disturbing in his own time as

Choice B is correct.

选项E时态不对，除此之外，as--- as结构中，第二个as后省略they are，对吗？

另外，in his own time 用法比较熟悉，但是我没有查到to his own time的用法，这种用法对吗？

不是NN. 我觉得不可以省略. 如果省略, 后面补足就表示were as disturbing to his own time as (they were)..那么时态就不对了.

to his own time. 觉得可能这里介词不是考点, 别的更重要.

谢谢！

如果省略, E补足就是have been as disturbing to his own time as (they have been)..那么时态就不对了。

I have the same question as yours. Does anyone can help us???Many thanks.

in和to是和his own time成意群的，不是disturb搭配，disturb是及物动词。

这里是动词吗？那就是过去进行时，与现在进行时并列？

意思是对他那个时代的影响，和对我们现在正在作用的影响？为什么要用过去进行时呢？

疑惑？
