大全316

316.Frances Wright’s book on America contrasted the republicanism of the United States with what she saw as the aristocratic and corrupt institutions of England.  

(A) with what she saw as

(B) with that which she saw to be

(C) to that she saw being

(D) and that which she saw as

(E) and what she saw to be

答案是A。答案没有问题。只是不太明白Be seen as和be seen to be的区别和具体的用法。

查了一下朗文字典：

▶CONSIDER SOMETHING◀
[transitive]to think about or consider someone or something in a particular way, or as having particular qualities
see somebody/something as something
I see the job as a challenge.
be seen as (being) something
The peace talks are seen as a sign of hope.This type of work is often seen as boring.
be seen to be something
Sexual discrimination is seen to be an important factor in discouraging women from careers in engineering.Teachers need to be seen to be in control.

看来只有在被动的时候才能用to be。意思应该是一样的。

to be discussed.....

试探地说明：

这里的as 的前后应该是同位结构，也就是把be seen as去了，前后会是一个同位结构；后面对前面补充说明。

而to be应该是一个普通的系表结构，相当于后面对前面进行限定。

当然两者经常可以互换，但存在以上细腻的差别。解此类题时，先把be seen as/to be去了，然后再看，前后的关系。。。再决定用哪个。
