GWD3-Q29仍未明白

GWD3-Q29:

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.



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



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



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



D.      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

其中C答案，大家都说being convinced that 有问题，但sb be convinced that 不是固定搭配么，being convinced thatbeing convinced that放在这里修饰colleagues，有何不妥？

再请问下 being 这个词在SC中是否极不推荐？

谢谢指教

being convinced 是指进行中的相信着，强调一个正在进行的状态。这个放在这里太奇怪了……肯定是错的。还有C不光是这里，我觉得这里用contraty to也不很合适。contrary to后面印象应该跟比较抽象的概念名词，修饰整个主句~ 所以……

谢谢LS 那如果直接colleagues convinced that XXXXX 又是否正确呢？

leslielu

首先我得声明一下，我不是什么高人，所以说的不一定对……我也是云云备考中的一人……我觉得换了也还是不太对。contrary to的用法，我记得是白勇还是哪里很明确的写过，一般加抽象名词概念。且是和整个主句作为对比。所以……期待高人指点，看看我的回答对不对……

contrary to : in opposition to (sth);against.
eg.the results were contrary to expectation.
从中文翻译来看感觉说得过去，但是英文中一般用语抽象的概念，表相反的性质,倾向,方向(direction)

C.      Contrary to many of her colleagues being convinced that genes were relatively simple and static
D.      Even though many of her colleagues were convinced that genes were relatively simple and static

一过选项，发现conviction->convinced...后者比前者好，所以只看cde, 发现前面开始不一样，e那个句子组成不对，开始在cd中琢磨：being的确不如d好，但是even though 有假设的味道，这里说的是事实不是假设。。。后面一大堆获奖的事情重申了不是假设，所以选c
