54. Galileo was convinced that natural phenomena, as manifestations of the laws of physics, would appear the same to someone on the deck of a ship moving smoothly and uniformly through the water as a person standing on land.

(A)  water as a

(B)  water as to a

(C)  water; just as it would to a

(D)  water, as it would to the  

(E)   water; just as to the

B, the best choice, uses the idiomatic and grammatically parallel form the same to X as to Y. Because A lacks the preposition to, it seems to compare the appearance of natural phenomena to that of a person standing on land. 对于比较结构还是比较模糊,慝请教:在A中,没有TO,那么是什么和什么的比较.在the same ...as... , as...as 结构中,有三个地方可以加入比较成分,在the same之前,在the same ...as中间,在AS 之后,可是到底是谁和谁比较是怎么区分的,是根据逻辑意思判断吗?一直头疼,希望指点一下.

在比如

再问大全补充133题
Most Corporations pay at least twice as much to full-time employees, if the value of benefits, sick days, and paid vacation days are included in earnings, than to part-time employees, whose hourly wages are often higher than those of their full-time colleagues.
(A) are included in earnings, than
(B) are included in earnings, as
(C) is included in earnings, than they pay
(D) is included in earnings, as is paid
(E) is included in earnings, as they pay

AS...AS的并列结构是两个AS的前后平行是吗?如上题中的COMPANY PAY和THEY PAY 对应,而不是B选项中两个TO FULL TIME和TO PART TIME对应是吗?NN回答一下,谢谢.
这题我贴过一次,不过还是不明白,希望再解释,谢谢了.

OG54这种比较对象的确定其实只有逻辑判断，缺少了to结构的A，其as结果甚至可以被看作while来理解；the same to + 人物 对应的肯定是 as to + 人物；

补充133中，E是Most Corporations pay at least twice as much to full-time employees as they pay to part-time employees；而B是Most Corporations pay at least twice as much to full-time employees as to part-time employees，单看as...as结构，其实B的表达和E的表达在意思上是完全一致的，而且B更为简洁，因为其仅保留了比较的差异部分；我们可以用一个中文例子来表述：我给你的钱比我给她的钱多，这个句子完全可以再简化：我给你的钱比给她的钱多，两个句子表达的意思相同，所不同的仅仅是后句省略了重复出现的‘我’，而这个省略不会引起歧义；B的错误在于B的are与value单复数不一致，导致错误。
