disturbing翻译成“显著“阿，半天没看懂

disturbing和compelling是平行的，但是ing形式的形容词坐宾语，还是进行时呢？不懂

指点

be disturbing to his time

be compelling for our time

顶，大家继续讨论啊！这两个词具体怎么用，怎么翻译？

似乎没有结果。是不是做到最后大家都不愿意多讨论了呢？

以下是引用jade_lee在2005-1-11 12:40:00的发言：

1、此处they are 必须要，比较句中时态不同要补足谓语。

2、继续问？

这是什么公里啊？

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

此题中themselves 和they 指的是同一个东东吗，如果不是同一个东东，能否这么用呢？

此题中themselves 和they 指的是同一个东东吗，如果不是同一个东东，能否这么用呢？

前面themselves指的是the strains of individuals，而they指的是Thomas Eakins' powerful style and his choices of subject

两者不一样的

那这里是否存在指代歧义呢？

谢谢！

2. to the people of his own time 所以用 to

Is this true? all these "people in" can be omitted?...

Still have no idea why "to his own time" is better than "in his own time", I can't even find one example of "to his own time" from GOOGLE.

Any NN can provide an alternative explanation for us? Million thanks!
