since Robert Boyle在这里是做什么成分，since表示因为？

选A。
B、C、D里面都有and，所以是考察平行结构。
B里面 a critique和his envisioning不平行
C、D同理
E是逻辑错误，crtiquing的对象可以是chemistry，但怎么能够是his own……呢？

since表示从过去一直到现在的化学，跟后面某人将提出的新东西构成完美的比较，很对称很美

答案是选A的，这样的结构很少见，ls的解释有点明白，不过考试遇到这样的结构还是会发懵的。

是选A吧？确认下。。不然就我就乱说了。
a critique of all chemistry since Robert Boyle 就是“一个对自从Robert Boyle开始的化学界的批评”
我理解成大概这么个意思。我想这个RB应该是个标志性的人物吧。。这里chemistry我随便翻成化学界的。可能含义有偏差。但是我觉得大概意思应该是这样的。
说错了请拍砖。。

dontwannalos

since? 这里应该是 自从的意思

我也想问这个，since有直接加名词的用法？还是省略了什么东东？
