The cathedrals of the Middle Ages were community centers just as much as they were purely religious edifices; and they were structures that represented a city’s commitment to a public realm, the opposite of being a private one.
community centers just as much as they were purely religious edifices; and they were structures that represented a city’s commitment to a public realm, the opposite of being a private one
community centers as much as purely religious edifices; they were structures representing a city’ s commitment to a public realm, as opposed to private
community centers as well as purely religious edifices; they were structures that represented a city’s commitment to a public realm, not private ones
as much community centers as purely religious edifices, structures that represented a city’s commitment to a public realm, as opposed to a private one
as much community centers as they were purely religious edifices, structures representing a city’s commitment to a public realm, opposite of a private one
考点:
1. as much/many + noun + as + 比较对象。
(1)A is as much B as C. 这里跟 A is B as much as A is C是一样的意思。as much表示程度,因此不能用many。
It is as much your faulty as your wife's. 既是你的过错,也是你妻子的过错。
Henry is as much hypocrite as John. H和J一样是个伪君子。
(2)再来一个应该用many的例句。
Mary has written as many essays as her brother. 玛丽写的文章篇数和她弟弟的一样多。
2. 名词性结构做补语。structures后面的句子是对community centers和religious edifices的补充说明。structures that represent = structures representing
3. as opposed to 表示一般程度的对比,= rather than,而the opposite of或opposite to 表示A和B是相反的,对立面,对面等,是非常强烈的比对。从句意可知,此处只是想比较commitment to A而非B,不是想说A和B截然相反的关系。
选项1,错在the opposite of being...
选项2,错在指代不明,A is B as much as C,究竟是B和C比较,还是A和C比较?as opposed to要接名词/名词性短语
选项3,错在not private ones,要与a public realm对称,用单数。且A is B as well as C,没有比较的意思。
选项5,错在as后面的they were多余了,且opposite of不能省略冠词
