(A) Unlike the conviction held by many of her colleagues that genes were
(B) Although many of her colleagues were of the conviction of genes being
(C) Contrary to many of her colleagues being convinced that genes were
(D) Even though many of her colleagues were convinced that genes were
(E) Even with many of her colleagues convinced of genes being
OG上说，A比较对象不对，这我能理解。
而，BC----wordy and awkward ;E----wordy and indirect...
哪里wordy，哪里awkward。。。晕死了作者: dontwanna 时间: 2013-5-8 19:26
B选项 wordy的地方有二 1. were of the conviction 更好的表达如D所示 2. of gene being 很多情况下being是wordy的用法，但是在少数几种情况下being是正确的。可以查一下语法区 的疑难点，关于being讲的很详细
c选项 contary to 用的awkward了。contrary to一般不用于比较的开头
E中 首先being用在这里不好，显得wordy，因为relatively simple and static可以跟在gene后直接修饰gene
