Spanish painter EI Greco

Sonehri

78. Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
The figures in portraits by the Spanish painter EI Greco (1541-1614) are systematically elongated. In EI Greco's time, the intentional distortion of human figures was unprecedented in European painting. Consequently, some critics have suggested that EI Greco had an astigmatism, a type of visual impairment, that resulted in people appearing to him in the distorted way that is characteristic of his paintings. However, this suggestion cannot be the explanation, because
(A) several twentieth-century artists have consciously adopted from EI Greco's paintings the systematic elongation of the human form
(8) some people do have elongated bodies somewhat like those depicted in EI Greco's portraits
(C) if EI Greco had an astigmatism, then, relative to how people looked to him, the elongated figures in his paintings would have appeared to him to be distorted
(D) even if EI Greco had an astigmatism, there would have been no correction for it available in the period in which he lived
(E) there were non-European artists, even in EI Greco's time, who included in their works human figures that were intentionally distorted

who can explain to me plz!!!!

刚做到此题。答案是C。
如果他有散光，他看真人就变长，他看正常尺寸的画也变长，正常尺寸画和真人在他看来长度是一样的。所以，即使有散光，画的画也应该是正常尺寸。所以不是由散光引起的。因为，要是散光导致他作出超长的画的话，在他看来也是尺寸比真人尺寸长。C就是这个意思。

供参考讨论~~~

还基于一个假设：一般来说，画家作画的比例尺跟真人比例尺一样。（OG verbal review上给的解释）

参考RonPurewal的解释：

就是说他看人的尺寸和画画的尺寸一致变长，所以正常人看他的画时应该觉得是正常尺寸
？

差不多..他看到的人是变长了的尺寸，要使得画出来的画在他眼中也是变长了的尺寸的话（即跟他看到的一致）其实他画的就是正常尺寸。

正常尺寸--在他眼中是变长尺寸
画出正常尺寸--在他眼中看到的画的是变长尺寸（在他眼里，画出的就是看到的 都是变长尺寸）

应该是这样的~~

嗯，想破脑袋再加上你们的comment，我终于明白OG的解释在说什么了~~
But if astigmatism were the explanation, then the elongated images in his pictures should have appeared to El Greco to be too long: he would have perceived the images as longer than they actually are-and therefore as inaccurate representations ofwhat he perceived.

如果散光是原因的话，那在他的画里面的那些被加长了的人，对于El Greco来说就更长了：因为他看东西比正常人看到的要长--这就是所谓的他看到的东西的inaccurate representation~~


这道题太痛苦了~~死想。。。考试要是遇到就完了。。。

这道题的逻辑太绕了.
综合以上结论,我觉得是:如果他有散光,那么他看真人和正常尺寸的画都会变长.(这个其实在他眼中是正常长度)
然后他要作从他眼中看起来正常尺寸的话(他视觉中被拉长的画),其实也就是正常人眼中正常尺寸的画.

这道题请使用elimination.
