谢谢紫草MM的回复！你的意思我明白。

可否再请翻译一下A中的原句意思呢？

Galileo was convinced that natural phenomena, as manifestations of the laws of physics, would appear the same to someone on the deck of a ship moving smoothly and uniformly through the water as a person standing on land.

Galileo was convinced that natural phenomena, as manifestations of the laws of physics, would appear the same to someone on the deck of a ship moving smoothly and uniformly through the water as a person standing on land.

Because A lacks the preposition to, it seems to compare the appearance of natural phenomena to that of a person standing on land.

原文当然要试图正确表达这个物理现象. ETS对A的解释是:

如果有to, 那就是状语跟状语的比较: to someone ... vs. to a person ....

如果没有to, 那就是主语跟主语的比较: natural phenomena would appear the same as a person ... would appear. ETS把其转化成文字就是compare the appearance of natural phenomena to that of a person standing on land. that在这里指代appear, 其实就是将a person...would appear换了种表达, 即用appearance n. 来取代appear vt.

明白了，多谢紫草MM！

如果有to, 那就是状语跟状语的比较: to someone ... vs. to a person ....   这里应该是宾语的比较吧？状语是修饰谓语动词的，而宾语是谓语动词的对象。   

如果没有to, 那就是主语跟主语的比较: 应该是宾语和主语的比较吧

natural phenomena would appear the same as a person ... would appear. ETS把其转化成文字就是compare the appearance of natural phenomena to that of a person standing on land. that在这里指代appear, 其实就是将a person...would appear换了种表达, 即用appearance n. 来取代appear vt.

对比较结构不甚了解，所以斗胆置疑一下牛mm

另外想请问，og说C and D unnecessarily repeat would

这是否是说比较结构中，因为比较的是名词而不是动词，所以前半句比较使用了would(would appear), 那么后半句的比较中就可以省略动词would appear了？

即natural phenomena the same would appear to someone on the deck.....as would appear to a person standing.....这个结构中重复用would 才对？

C and E each contain a faulty semicolon and produce errors in idiom, the same to X just as [it would] to.

请问这里的errors指的是什么？并同问楼上的问题。谢谢！

errors are "the same to X just as to Y;

1、如果有to, 那就是状语跟状语的比较: to someone ... vs. to a person ....   这里应该是宾语的比较吧？状语是修饰谓语动词的，而宾语是谓语动词的对象。  

我认为是介賓短語做状语。

2、比较非主语、谓语部分，主语和谓语部分都不需要重复。

恩，我也觉得有to的话，应该是宾语和宾语的比较

后面MM关于没有to的阐述，精彩！

这里应该是状语的比较!

当比较从句和主句的主语谓语都一直时,可以全部删除, 只保留介词短语/状语(状语可以直接比较)

The phenomena would appear the same to someone…as to a person…

介词短语to someone/a person做的是状语

感觉还是薰衣紫草说的在理儿.
