13. For all his professed disdain of such activities, Auden was an inveterate literary gossip.
(A) For all his professed disdain of such activities
(B) Having always professed disdain for such activities
(C) All such activities were, he professed, disdained, and
(D) Professing that all such activities were disdained(A)
(E) In spite of professions of disdaining all such activities
现在分词作状语,可以表达让步的含义。《新编英语语法,章振邦》P1134,P1252;《高级英语语法,薄冰》P336。
A有问题,惯用法是disdain for。所以A是错的。
B用现在分词完成式,表示profess disdain的时间在主句谓语之前,所以B也错。
C没有让步语气,还变成并列句。错。
E,profession是多义词;professions无主,disdaining无主,如果是his profession就好了;professions of doing 看起来不好。
只有D,没有问题。
