帮忙解答一下OG10-180

apchy

Quasars are so distant that their light has taken billions of years to reach the Earth; consequently, we see them as they were during the formation of the universe.
A,we see them as they were during
B,we see them as they had been during
C,we see them as if during
D,they appear to us as they did in
E,they appear to us as though in

the Key is A.
为什么D不行。OG解释是D ambiguously suggests that the quasars appeared to us in the formation of the universe,that is, as though we were present to view them then.这句没看懂什么意思。那位cder可以解释一下吗。先谢了。

我们现在所看到是它在宇宙形成时的样子

谢谢lorrain_cc，现在理解了。

应该就是"我们看他们就像他们在宇宙初初形成时候的样子"也就是他们现在跟宇宙刚形成时候他们的样子没区别~

谢谢你，cx_ding！你前一半的解释我能理解，就是对they were during the formation of the universe这句意思我还是不太明白。

个人理解，D的解释在于Q现在呈现给我们的样子就像以前呈现的一样（大致意思），没有体现出和前半句的逻辑关系。
整句的理解是，Q离我们实在太远，所以我们看见他们就像他们没有变化一样。
我的翻译很烂，不好意思，水平不够。
