og里面对c的解释  ”Inversion of the expected word order in to be an expatriate was unfashionable is awkward. “这里这句话 大家怎么理解 扯unfashionable 干嘛？

"long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate" is better than "to be an expatriate was unfashionable"

改变expartriate 和unfashionable 的顺序，改变了句子的本意；另外这个选项，to be的动作发出者在语法结构上来看，是JB，而不是Paris，导致逻辑错误。

1. Postpone Infinitive Subjects
Awkward: TO RESIST temptation is futile.
The subject of the sentence is the infinitive phrase to resist temptation. Although this sentence is grammatically correct, the GMAT usually avoids similar sentences on stylistic grounds.
Better: It is futile TO RESIST temptation.
It is now the grammatical subject. As a pronoun, it refers to the infinitive phrase to resist temptation.
Under other circumstances, it cannot normally refer to an infinitive.
