C.      Adam Smith’s two major books are to democratic capitalism just as

D.      Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism similar to

E.       Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism what
        

看出来是该在d和e里选一个，但为什么是选e呢，后面是什么意思什么结构啊，请指点下~~

similar to是个介宾短语~~后面不能接句子

sth is adj sth what sth is sth

表示如同的意思

比如说 water is important to fish what you is to me 是说你对我就像水对鱼一样重要 ~~

大概就这样吧 我也不知道我举的例子对不对 我感觉看到过~~

这个只有死记硬背了，X is to Y  what A is to B.

就像中文说的“亚当斯的国富论对于民主资本主义就相当于马克思的资本论对于社会主义”。表示两种相同地位或者比率等的对比。

OG12出这道题还真是。。。。╮(╯▽╰)╭
