这道题选C , 不知道你的问题是什么. 试着说明一下,看看是否还有问题. 从原文的意思, 作者想表达的是Nancy希望有更多的moderate republican senators,而不是更多的women senators, 在表达上可以用not...but并列,也可以用so...as 并列,但是,必须保证并列的完整性,即not for...but for..., 或so ....for... as for..., 这里for不可省略.答案中任何冗赘表达,如:senators who were women,都应换成women senators, 另外, 要遵循原意,不能将republican senators 改为 republincans, 两者的意义不同.

fufu好象应该把答案贴出来么.
这样便于讨论.虽然都做过了.但是经常很多人还是没做过的.
而且好象你还有一个问题也是没说你到底问什么.这样别人怎么知道你什么地方不明白呢,

关于此题，那个 wish可以直接否定吗？例如wished  not  而不是did not wish

rabbitbug 讲的好明白！！

如果D改成

(D) did not wish for more women senators so much as for moderate Republicans

可以吗？如果可以，C、D哪个好？

weichenli

if you add "for" for choice D, it would be grammatically correct.

However, C is still better since "so much" in C modifies " wish"

这句是不是考not so much as这个考点？
