265. Thomas Eakins’ powerful style and his choices of subject—the advances in modern surgery, the discipline of sport, the strains of individuals in tension with society or even with themselves—was as disturbing to his own time as it is compelling for ours.

(A) was as disturbing to his own time as it is

(B) were as disturbing to his own time as they are

(C) has been as disturbing in his own time as they are

(D) had been as disturbing in his own time as it was（B）

(E) have been as disturbing in his own time as

Here, the answer is B. But I wonder for E, excluding "have been" is wrong, is "as disturbing as in his own time as" right?

It concerns about compararism again, but I think for this case, even if we omit "they are", we will distort the meaning.

Am I right? Could anybody give me some instruciton, please?

Thank you very much!

usdream mm，你理解的是对的。

对于比较结构省略谓语，偶觉得只有当主句是主谓结构时才不会引起歧义；而当主句有主谓宾时，就会混淆是主语的比较还是宾语的比较。

特别是像本题比较的是不同时态，所以更需要补出助动词。

(E) have been as disturbing in his own time as

E选项补全have been as disturbing in his own time as (they be)compelling for ours

as--as结构里，第二个结构里不知能否将主系同时省略，第二个as后只剩下doing,有见过的请告诉啊

我只想起第二个as后，可省略主语、或者省略系动词，但主系同时省，真是盼NN点拨

E其它错误：如LES所说，第二个as后be时态肯定不能与have been共用，要体现不同的时态

补全一下这点，当主句有主谓宾时，如果是不同的主语比较，那么要补出谓语助动词，如果是不同的宾语比较可以省略相同的主谓，但一定要补出介宾结构。

如果把E 选项改成 were as disturbing for his time as for ours. 请问对吗，会引起歧义吗？

谢谢！

主谓同时省略只有两种情况(当然我说的是主从句主谓都一样的时候),要么是剩下介词短语,要么是剩下状语.本题两者都不是,如果省略了谓语,剩下的就是分词短语了,句子和分词短语比较,显然不对.

我的疑问是这点，这个并联之间怎么会没有连词那？最后一个词组前面可以没有and么

此处是三个同位语做插入语，不用加连词and，只有都勾号隔开就行。如，   同位语，同位语，同位语，主句。。。    的结构
