Unlike the conviction held by many of her colleagues that genes were relatively simple and static, Barbara McClintock adhered to her own more complicated ideas about how genes might operate, and in 1983, at the age of 81, was awarded a Nobel Prize for her discovery that the genes in corn are capable of moving from one chromosomal site to another.

Unlike the conviction held by many of her colleagues that genes were relatively simple and static

Although many of her colleagues were of the conviction of genes being relatively simple and static

Contrary to many of her colleagues being convinced that genes were relatively simple and static

Even though many of her colleagues were convinced that genes were relatively simple and static

E，Even with many of her colleagues convinced of genes being relatively simple and static

这道题我选C，因为文中是强对比关系，比较她的同事的态度，Barbara McClintock 是什么态度，EVEN THOUGH只有转折关系，此处BEING用来不错，因为后面有THAT从句，请NN指教。

偶的印象中contrary to 后面是加观点、信念等，一般不加人。

而且C这种表达不简洁。－－哈哈，好像是一句空话，不过偶真的是这么认为的。

确实字典的例句都是反对意见，但没有明确说明不能跟人，请继续讨论。顶一下

Contrary to放在句首的话，其作用是对后面整个主句而言的。主句中说了并列的两点：一是BMC坚持自己的观点；二是BMC获得诺贝尔奖。一可以作为对比关系出现，二不可以，Contrary to中没说BMC的同事没获得过诺贝尔奖，没法对比。

记得是OG还是白勇语法里有讲解CONTRARY TO 不是对比人的，一般是对比观点立场等等。

答案是D吗？

白勇老师的语法课讲解认为CONTRARY TO 应跟抽象名词。

being還是不對... ETS認為being一般表達一種on going的狀態, 此處沒有必要強調主角的同事被說服是一種進行中的狀態...

B为什么不对啊？

以下是引用mingzhu_du在2005-1-8 5:09:00的发言：

B为什么不对啊？

B. Although many of her colleagues were of the conviction of genes being relatively simple and static

首先B违背了简洁原则：动词的被动形式convinced优于be of the conviction...这种of+名词形式。OG里面有很多类似的题目。

另外colleagues were of the conviction of ...也不符合习惯用法。要表示人有什么强烈的opinion应该用colleagues had/held the conviction...。of convictions (注意是复数）表示笼统的“有很多strong opinions”，后面也不加具体的conviction的内容。比如（Longman例句）She is a woman of strong political convictions.

可是D选项Even though 从句也是引领全句的呀！

这好像不能做为反对C的论据，C关键错在contrary to 用法unidiomatic并且being多余
