标题: 一道不明白的语法题关于A is to B what C is to D 的 [打印本页]

A leading figure in the Scottish enlightenment, Adam Smith's two major books are to democratic capitalism what Marx's Das Kapital is to socialism.
A. Adam Smith's two major books are to democratic capitalism what
B. Adam Smith's two major books are to democratic capitalism like
C. Adam Smith's two major books are to democratic capitalism just as
D. Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism similar to
E. Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism what

明明后面是Max's Kapital is to socialism. 也就是马克思的资本论 to 社会主义
前面不应该是adam smith的书 to 资本主义么？
为什么选E!!!

A leading figure做同位语只能修饰人

哦！！！对哦！
但是还是不明白 E选项的Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism what
还是不对称啊
后面应该是 Max wroter ×××才对称吧？

建议楼主看看prep 2008的语法笔记，这道题目的解释比较详细。

就是在做prep2008语法笔记哦。。。它就说A.同位语修饰对象错误，修饰成了书。
但是我就不明白了 A应该是并列得最工整的啊～

你可以把同位语理解成类似形式主语的含义，要对其修饰的内容有解释性，符合逻辑。一个figure 明显不能指代一本书。

Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism what Marx's Das Kapital is to socialism.

A(that,代替two major books) is(are) to B(democratic capitalism) what C(Marx's Das Kapital) is to D(socialism)

簡單的說：
A=A.S.'s two major books
B=democratic capitalism
C=Marx's Das Kapital
D= socialism
