[求助]大全973，treat的用法

1.        No matter how patiently they explain their reasons for confiscating certain items, travelers often treat customs inspectors like wanton poachers rather than government employees.

(A) travelers often treat customs inspectors like wanton poachers rather than government employees

(B) travelers often treat customs inspectors as wanton poachers instead of government employees

(C) travelers often treat customs inspectors as if they were not government employees but wanton poachers

(D) customs inspectors are often treated by travelers as if they were wanton poachers rather than government employees（D）

(E) customs inspectors are often treated not like government employees but wanton poachers by travelers

请问treat的用法是不是treat...as...，象这里的E是否就错在treat的用法上？

改成：customs inspectors are often treated not as government employees but as wanton poachers by travelers,对吗？谢谢！

treat...as... 把sth/sb看作。

本题里treat不是这个意思，是“对待”。as if接方式状语。

对待；看待：
Children are taught to treat their parents and teachers with deference?
教育孩子们对父母师长要尊敬。
The engineer felt that he hadn't been treated fairly.
这位工程师觉得自己没有受到公平的待遇。
He treated the animal cruelly.
他残忍地对待这只动物。

可以在解释一下d和e的选项不同吗,不太懂耶,谢谢

要考试了,请帮帮忙

   E漏洞百出啊

   not like ...but...不平行

  by travelers在最后有些莫名其妙，头重脚轻

  treat...as...是固定用法，like表示比较，as表示作为，意思也不同

Longman：

treat

[treat sb/sth+adv/prep,esp.like]to act or behave towards in the stated way

She treat us like children(=as if we were children)

[treat sb/sth+adv/prep,esp.as]to regard or consider in the stated way

Our employer treated our suggestions as a joke.

也就是说，当解释为“看成”时，用as，当解释为“对待”时，用like或as if。并不是like和as的区别问题。本题看来时解释为“对待”了。（有点疑惑，本题解释为“看成”好像也合理）

这里好像怎么解释都行啊？
