该题中有几个语法点不明白的，求大家指教！！
1. Og 中关于C选项的解释是"the sentence offers no plural subject to fit the passive verb have been thought." 但是个人感觉，have的主语不可一世analysts吗？
2. not so....as...和 not as...as...在语法上有什么不同的吗？在具体的语境和语感上又有什么不同吗？
3. have previously thought和 previously thought表达出的意思又有什么不同呢？
另外个人感觉，这道题的C选项是不是也可以这样来理解：as well as...这样的结构从句子意思effectivly and precisely expressing的角度来考虑，as well as前后的成分在结构上也是需要尽可能的保持一致或者是对称~~前面的结构是主位结构的economy might not be as weak...所以 as之后的结构最好也应该是主位结构的analysts previously thought...如果用了被动的have been的，首先就有可能violate the parallelism；因为前面的谓语动词的使用是一般过去时的economy might，后面的位于动词如果使用have been...似乎也不平行了。。。让人理解起来困难了; as...as和so...as的主要区别，应该就是so...as只能是出现在否定的比较中吧...作者: kkfrancais 时间: 2013-2-26 06:49
