OG - 50 (P708)

OG 50 (P708):

As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated about 20/500, or legally blind if it were an adult with such vision.”

(C). As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision would be    rated about 20/500; qualifying it to be legally blind if an adult.

答案讲解C的时候提到: “The phrase if an adult in C is also illogical, since it states that a baby could also be an adult.” 请问一下这句话是什么意思? 為什麼說這句話表示 “a baby could also be an adult”?

qualifying it to be legally blind if an adult －首先：这句话中的it是指代baby的；其次，if引导的是一个条件状语从句，但是显然这个从句是不完整的，而若是从句结构不完整且结构合理只有一种可能，即省略和主句相同的主语和be动词，所以，if从句补全就是：if it(即：a baby) is an adult，所以，由此可以看出it(即 a baby) = adult。
