The clarification by LZM does not note the sentence structure of above problem. Please pay attention to the bold face. If you notice the object in the first part of the sentence is missing, you can conclude that the object must be posed at the end.

what a excellent explanation, just what I need.

I think by clarifing the structure, I'll never fail to solve this type of problems whenever encountering them.

Thanks a million.

我怎么感觉还是糊涂呢，

a be to b what c be to d
这是一种固定搭配，意思是a对b来说，正如c对d一样

那么按照weiyuGG说的，好像不是这样的

另外，看到一个网友这样解释

以下是引用babydevil在2005-5-19 11:56:00的发言：

我也做错了，选了D ,后来仔细想了想，可能是这样：1980’s是指的一帮80年代出生的人，同时an earlier time并不是指80年代以前出生的人，而是指现在以前的过去某个时间。整句应该这样理解：

Personal trainers and fitness coaches are to the narcissistic 1980's what private fencing masters and dancing teachers were to (the narcissistic 1980's) an earlier time.

我觉得这个比较否和对b来说，正如c对d一样这个意思，但是好像在和weiyuGG的解释比iqlai又有些糊涂了，大家怎么理解呢

感觉句子结构是这样才对啊。A is to B what C was to D为习惯表达的说法牵强了点，只能当成是死记硬背的招法了

weiyud的意思是这样吧

A be to B what C be to D.

理解时 是 A be( what C be to D) to B. 而what C be to D 有些长所以让to B.提前使句子紧凑就变成了A be to B what C be to D.
