Constructed at least as early as the Sui dynasty (A.D. 581-618), the Altar of Heaven is the oldest known altar used in Chinese state religious practice, more than 1,000 years older than a similar one in Beijing, it is the only altar found so far that predates the Qing dynasty (A.D. 1644-1912). (A) Constructed at least as early as the Sui dynasty (A.D. 581-618), the Altar of Heaven is the oldest known altar used in Chinese state religious practice, more than 1,000 years older than a similar one in Beijing, it is (B) Constructed at least as early as the Sui dynasty (A.D. 581-618), the Altar of Heaven, the oldest known altar used in Chinese state religious practice, is more than 1,000 years older than a similar one in Beijing and is (C) The Altar of Heaven, having been constructed at least as early as the Sui dynasty (A.D. 581-618) and the oldest known altar used in Chinese state religious practice, is more than 1,000 years older than a similar one in Beijing and (D) The Altar of Heaven, which was constructed at least as early as the Sui dynasty (A.D. 581-618) and is the oldest known altar used in Chinese state religious practice, more than 1,000 years older than a similar one in Beijing and is (E) The oldest known altar used in Chinese state religious practice, more than 1,000 years older than a similar one in Beijing, the Altar of Heaven, which was constructed at least as early as the Sui dynasty (A.D. 581-618) and is 嗯,我对答案没有质疑。但是没弄明白这个省略形式的比较结构
(B) Constructed at least as early as the Sui dynasty
照理说,parrallelism是比较形式必须遵守的法则,尤其在as...as/和than结构中,要求最严格。 但是这个 省略成分的比较结构相当不清晰。
as early as 理论上是adverb,用来修饰 前半句(Altar of Heaven was) constructed, 但是后半句 的主语却是 Sui dynasty,没有动词,那么这里不可能是补出 constructed,二只可能是is。那么这样以来,as early as 中的early要看成 adj
这样就形成了 在前半句中:early 被看成 adv,后半句中被看成 adj,这个结构如何理解。
除非 补出的形式是这样的, (Altar of Heaven was) constructed as Sui dynasty (was constructed).....是这样吗?
