[求助]再问og265(看了前辈的帖子依然有几个问题不明白,在线急等高人指点)

OG265

Thomas Eakins' powerful style and his choices of subject--the advances in modern surgery, the discipline of sport, the strains of individuals in tension with society or even with themselves--was as disturbing to his own time as it is compel­ling for ours.

(A)  was as disturbing to his own time as it is

(B)   were as disturbing to his own time as they are (B)

(C)  has been as disturbing in his own time as they are

(D)  had been as disturbing in his own time as it was

(E)   have been as disturbing in his own time as

问题一:为什么做为同位语的the advances in modern surgery, the discipline of sport, the strains of individuals in tension with society or even with themselves三个列举中the strains of individuals in tension with society or even with themselves前不用and,是否如前辈所说因为没有列举完所以不用and?这属于什么语法现象?

问题二,对于句子的省略,如果E选项第二个as后面补足they are,选项可否成立?

问题三,对于时态的使用,句中并无明显标志词的表明一定要用什么时态,根据前人的讨论有前辈说his own time决定了主句必须使用一般过去时,这里不理解,为什么his own time可以决定前面的时态要用一般过去时,意思是表示Thomas Eakins处在他所在的那个年代吗,如果为肯定那么现在完成时也并无不可啊?

问题四,对于to his own time和in his own time的使用,此题是否有区别呢?可否直接用in his own time,在B选项中?

在线肯请指点!

再顶!

问题一，我也觉得不解；

问题二三，我觉得还是只能用一般过去时，且这样as...as所引导的时态也才对称。

问题四，用to or in，我觉得是个句意准确性的问题。

楼主的这些问题，我也发给了其他斑竹，看看她们怎么理解

1.this is the usage of punctuation in English. Don't put your nose into this.

The dash also appears in attributions of quotations.

However, in the following question, 'and' connects the last two lists.

1.        Each of Hemingway’s wives—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—were strong and interesting women, very different from the often pallid women who populate his novels.

(A) Each of Hemingway’s wives—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—were strong and interesting women,

(B) Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—each of them Hemingway’s wives—were strong and interesting women,

(C) Hemingway’s wives—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—were all strong and interesting women,

(D) Strong and interesting women—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—each a wife of Hemingway, was（C）

(E) Strong and interesting women—Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhorn, and Mary Welsh—every one of Hemingway’s wives were

所以，你不要对破折号内的列举太追究了，语言是很灵活的东西。

2.E. 你的改法还是不妥。as disturbing TO his times as they are compelling For ours, disturbing 后的介词 to 是不能换为 in 的。否则不和 for ours 在表达含义上相平行了.

3. 本句是前后影响的比较，所以在时态上前后也有相对性。to his own time 在这里不能用完成时，否则的话句子前后的时态就没有对比性了。在非对比的情况下，是可以用完成时的。

4. in/to his own time 表达意思区别很大，在这里不能互换。

与for ours 对应,to 暗含着to people of his own time ,表达对当时的人是disturbing,所以用to;而用in 指在his own time 是disturbing的,与for ours 语意不连贯.

谢谢猫版主,joe11版主,心情美丽MM!

那么as they are compelling for ours这里ets怎么不改为to ours呢？这样岂不是和前面更加一致？

google一下，发现be compelling for 和 be compelling to都有啊

请NN解答
