547.    On stage, the force of Carrick’s personality and the vividness of his acting disguised the fact he was, which his surviving velvet suit shows, a short man.
(A) he was, which his surviving velvet suit shows,
(B) he was, and it is his surviving velvet suit that shows it,
(C) of him being, as his surviving velvet suit shows,
(D) that he was, as his surviving velvet suit shows,
(E) shown in his surviving velvet suit, that he was

答案D。但D 中as .....插入语为什么用一般现在时？而不是和句子的其他部分保持一致----用过去时？

因为as his surviving velvet suit shows是指现在还表明，如果用过去时的话，言外之意是现在就不表明了。

因为as his surviving velvet suit shows是指现在还表明，如果用过去时的话，言外之意是现在就不表明了。

——我觉得这种说法有些牵强...show 如果在此用过去式可以仅仅标明是过去发生的动作，就像

that he was, as his surviving velvet suit shows, a short man.中的was一样，用was并非有言外之意表明现在

不是short man了。。。

可能是我的理解有问题，但还是对此句的show为何要用现在时很疑惑，期待NN指正

怪...
anyone has any idea?

这里用he没错吗?  Carrick’s是所有格  不适不能用者格的代名词吗

kluivert

it is true that he was a short man

his surviving velvet suit shows that he was short man

this surviving picture shows that Jfk was such a popular figure

On stage, the force of Carrick’s personality and the vividness of his acting disguised the fact he was a short man. 这是讲他在舞台演出时，用过去时
his surviving velvet suit shows  这是基本事实 ..翻译过来就是： 就如他那幸存下来的 velvet suit显示（表明）的一样...他是个矮墩   衣服暴露了他的身高
就如他那幸存下来的 velvet suit显示（表明）的一样   这是针对于现在，是客观事实
