OG 235

235. Spanning more than fifty years, Friedrich Miiller began his career in an unpromising apprenticeship as a Sanskrit scholar and culminated in virtually every honor that European governments and learned soci­eties could bestow.

(A)  Miiller began his career in an unpromising apprenticeship as

(B)  Miiller's career began in an unpromising apprenticeship as

(C)  Miiller's career began with the unpromising apprenticeship of being

(D)  Miiller had begun his career with the unpromising apprenticeship of being

(E)   the career of Miiller has begun with an unpromising apprenticeship of

我找了过去的讨论,发现这道题目没有定论, 我自己做的时候,选出的C 但是,OG的解释仅仅说了 using apprenticeship of be 是 unidiomatic. 到底这是什么原因? 请过路的各位NN帮忙解释一下.  谢谢

Choice C corrects this error but produces an unidiomatic construction by using apprenticeship of being instead of apprenticeship as.

OG 说 apprentice as 才是习惯用法

请楼主注意逻辑主语：CMiiller's career began with the unpromising apprenticeship of being,being 的逻辑主语为Miiller's career，难道Miiller's career可以成为一个学者吗？只有人才能成为学者吧！as 表示作为，修饰apprecticeship(学徒)。with后的逻辑主语为appreticeship.这是我个人体会，请指教

谢谢, 3楼的学友. 这样解释,好像理解了许多,还是要从句子的逻辑关系中去解决问题的.

好像 2楼的解释不怎么样呀.
