我解释一下划线部分倒装后and 和系动词省略的问题：这里并没有省略。无论是不是倒装结构，这里都不能有and和系动词。因为划线部分必须是一个倒装的独立主格，否则就会造成一个病句。 这道题里面的句子太长，我用一个简单的句子说明：Her smile is so beautiful, and her voice is so nice, that I am totally lost. 注意这是一个病句， 因为so...that句型中，that前面是不能有逗号的。如果想让这个so that结构成立的话，划线部分必须改成独立主格。 Her smile is so beautiful（, her voice so nice,） that I am totally lost. 因为我们可以把独立主格连同其前后2个逗号一起拔掉分析句子，所以这个句子的so that 结构就是完整的。
总结一下这道题希望大家都能看到：Ron大神回复说这种提法是一种古老的idiom，现在考试已经不会考了，不用去纠结它。If it's a correct answer, it's a correct answer.
This is a really, really old problem (over 10 years old, if it's in "set 27"). The current GMAT won't test such oddly constructed sentences, so it's best to forget about this one altogether.
This sentence is as legitimate today as it was 10, 50, or 100 years ago.
The problem is that it's an unusual sentence construction, one that violates the dominant patterns of usage. Essentially, it's one giant "idiom" with which you'd have to be familiar in advance -- it's not the kind of thing you can figure out as you go. As such, it unfairly favors native English speakers, who have had much more exposure to "weird but correct" English sentences than have non-native speakers. Basically, it's almost like taking English from Shakespeare, or Spanish from Cervantes, or Italian from Dante, and throwing them at modern-day second-language speakers of those languages. Not fair.
In recent years GMAC has been cracking down on just about all SC items that unfairly favor native speakers -- especially weird sentence constructions like this one. So, it's not any less correct than it previously was, but you don't have to worry about it on the test anymore.
