OG12 SC123 形容词短语

tanht

She was less successful after she had emigrated to New York compared to her native Germany, photographer Lotte Jacobi nevertheless earned a small group of discerning admirers, and her photographs were eventually exhibited in prestigious galleries across the United States.

(A) She was less successful after she had emigrated to New York compared to
(B) Being less successful after she had emigrated to New York as compared to
(C) Less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in
(D) Although she was less successful after emigrating to New York when compared to
(E) She had been less successful after emigrating to New York than in

答案为C OG解释用了形容词短语,但是我不明白Less successful afterthan she had been in
she emigrated to New York 和she had been in也有完整的主谓结构阿,为设么不是句子呢???!!!

有 after 呀，想当于是P L was less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in her native Germany.

谢谢! 按照LS的理解，C选项就是完整的句子阿，那如何和后面photographer Lotte Jacobi nevertheless earned a small group of discerning admirers, and her photographs were eventually exhibited in prestigious galleries across the United States，连接起来呢？ 是用nevertheless么？ 如果这样理解，那OG就说的好像不太对了，C选项就不是形容词短语了，而是个句子吧？

after是主从连词

She was
lesssuccessful after she had emigrated to New York compared to her native Germany先不管对错，是完整的对吧
Less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in 你看看是不是少了？

还是不懂
OG上说C是形容词短语,那么就不需要连词和逗号后面的句子连接(, photographer Lotte Jacobi nevertheless earned a small group of discerning admirers). 但是我的疑问是C选项Less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in里面有SHE HAD BEEN IN 和 SHE EMIGATED TO 那么我就理解为句子了,如果这么理解,OG说法不对了,不是短语了,那么连词在哪里? AFTER主从连词有查，但都不是很清楚。
谢谢啦！

举个例子吧。 I will submit my application after I get a GMAT score of at least 750.  "after"前后有两套完整的主谓。

She was less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in her native Germany.
Photographer Lotte Jacobi nevertheless earned a small group of discerning admirers, and her photographs were eventually exhibited in prestigious galleries across the United States.

这是两个完整的句子(暂时不考虑代词指代），如果要放到一起，第一就是使用分号，因为两者有逻辑关系。
She was less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in her native Germany; Photographer Lotte Jacobi nevertheless earned a small group of discerning admirers, and her photographs were eventually exhibited in prestigious galleries across the United States.

再一个就是使用连词或者从句，比如
Although she was less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in her native Germany, photographer Lotte Jacobi earned a small group of discerning admirers, and her photographs were eventually exhibited in prestigious galleries across the United States.

另外一种办法就是把从句改成分词或形容词结构，位于句首，主句主语充当分词或形容词的逻辑主语 （像本题正确答案一样）,这样的话，句子的主题就非常明确，能够清晰准确的传达作者的意思
Less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in her native Germany, photographer Lotte Jacobi nevertheless earned a small group of discerning admirers, and her photographs were eventually exhibited in prestigious galleries across the United States.

非常谢谢yx06tu !
您说的几种句子连接方式我清楚，只是Less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in her native Germany, 这个形容词结构中 LESS AFTER后有she emigrated to New York 的句子结构 THAN后面she had been in her native Germany，理解成两个句子的比较是否有问题？ 这里应该是用AFTER连接因该也没有问题吧？ 那么连接后的两个句子 用LESS  THAN比较那么就不是句子而是变成形容词短语了么？ 这点我不明白和确定。

你可以把’she emigrated to New York‘以及 ‘she had been in her native Germany’想成两个时间状语，也就是说对同一个人不同时间段进行比较。
另外，你可以试着对比一下下面这个句子，economy在不同时间段进行比较。
Between 1990 and 2000 the global economy grew more than it did during the 10,000 years from the beginning of agriculture to 1950.
