58. A leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, Adam Smith’s two major books are to democratic capitalism what Marx’s Das Kapital is to socialism.
(A) Adam Smith’s two major books are to democratic capitalism what
(B) Adam Smith’s two major books are to democratic capitalism like
(C) Adam Smith’s two major books are to democratic capitalism just as
(D) Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism similar to
(E) Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism what
答案是E。
E选项的结构是x is to y what a is to b，那么请问可不可以用x is to y what is a to b呢？
求指点

A is to B what C is to D，这里to B作状语修饰A is what C is to D，其中what C is to D是表语从句，在这个表语从句里结构与主句相同。

A leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, Adam Smith’s two major books are to democratic capitalism what Marx’s Das Kapital is to socialism.

黄色部分，和后面句子主语构成同位语。而同位语一定要是可以同为的，所以句子主语得是Adam Smith才能是a leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment

adam's two major books的逻辑主语是smith，不是books吗？这点不明白啊。选项A好像真的比E要简洁啊。E我明白，x is to y what a is to b中x一定是books，但是wordy啊。A多简洁。求NN指出我错误呢！

这道题我也有疑问，为什么A不对啊？也是two books are  to democratic capitalism what***

因为逻辑主语是人，不是书，所以要用SMITH开头

有木有哪位能告诉我(E)为什么正确？
wrote two major books that 这里不会存在og常说的wordy,redundant吗？
啊啊啊，求指点那！

x is to y what a is to b, 是习语，意思是：x与y的关系正如a与b

gelilong

这里 a is to b what x is to y ,what 硬要用语法拆分的话应该是副词，副词引导的从句，整个what x is to y 应该是修饰 a is to b 这个句子或者是 is to 这不部分的
