再问 OG 31

31. Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, there is a disinclination on the part of many people to recognize the degree to which their analytical skills are weak.

D)Many people, willing to admit that they lack computer skills or other technical skills, are disinclined to recognize that their analytical skills are weak.

(E)   Many people have a disinclination to recognize the weakness of their analytical skills while willing to admit their lack of computer skills or other technical skills.

答案选D. 因为In E, have a disinclination... while willing is grammatically incomplete, and admit their lack should be admit to their lack.

我的问题是while willing is grammatically incomplete? 刘振民语法第137页明明说："while 还有一种用法是 while + 动词ｉｎｇ，使现在分词短语与主句的动作形成强烈的对比关系，可译为 同时...却..."

many people have a disinclination.. . while they are willing

这里不但缺少 they are, 而且前后对称不公整。

willing, adj.            以前的帖子如下：

有道理. thanks

还是觉得不对。LZM语法说

When, while, if, though, until, once, whether, unless, no matter, therefore, 等引导的从句中谓动为be, 而主语又同主句的主语相同所，从句中的be 和主语通常省略。

为什么这里的while 省略结构错了？
