Prep-2-117,困惑的比较结构-请教两位A斑斑

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?

我觉得这个是这五个选项里面的小问题吧 因为有更大的问题 这个小缺陷 就被忽略了吧!

这不可能,gmat只允许awkward的句子存在,不允许 incorrect的句子存在。

补出的形式是这样的, (Altar of Heaven was) constructed  as Sui dynasty (was constructed).....是这样吗?

本来就应该是这样的阿

是这样的吗?嗯,看来只能这么理解了。

不过 Sui Dynasty was constructed这种表达有些怪。

umm...只是省略了很多東東.
老外的省略原則是只要reader能很"自然"的能讀出省略的東東就可.

不好意思, 趕去吃飯, 沒看清楚就回貼.
應該是:
the Altar of Heaven was constructed at least as early as the Sui dynasty.
而不是
the Altar of Heaven was constructed at least as early as the Sui dynasty was constructed.

句子有點複雜, 可能看不清, 來個比較simple的examples:
The Great Wall was constructed as early as 1800. (我中史不好 =.=||)
The Great Wall was constructed in 1800
as early as 1800和in 1800都是修was constructed.  只是一個時間狀語.
at least as early as the Sui dynasty同理, 只是一個時間狀語.
the Sui dynasty就像1800一樣, 都是一個時間點.

The Great Wall was constructed as early as Sui Dynasty
这句话我觉得是有问题的(除非补出的是was constructed,而不是was),不然,比较句的Parrallelelism完全不遵守。

如果这样 我觉得没问题 Then Great Wall was as early as Sui Dynasty (was)

同样,这句话,The Great Wall was constructed as early as 1800也有问题。

究竟是谁和谁比较?  The Great Wall和1800?

当然,除非as early as+noun固定表达,那就没什么语法可讲了。。。。。

首先这是固定表达.其次很多时间状语前不用加介词,相关具体的我回去再查下语法书.
