Thomas Eakins' powerful style and his choices of subject—the advances in modern surgery, the discipline of sport, the strains of individuals in tension with society or even with themselves—was as disturbing to his own time as it is compelling for ours.
was as disturbing to his own time as it is
were as disturbing to his own time as they are
has been as disturbing in his own time as they are
had been as disturbing in his own time as it was
have been as disturbing in his own time as
‘’时态从一般过去式变成了一般现在时,谓语动词由were变成了are,所以要补出主语‘’(毛巾)
原则上,句子省略是可以的。但是E因为后面for ours 将时间拉到了现在,这样就应该是现在时态。而省略的前提是,主语谓语相同,才可以省略。were 与 are明显不同,所以不能省略。
而且in his own time表示过去时间,并没有从过去跨到现在的意思,所以have使用也存疑。所以E错误。
关于as disturbing as:Mr. aeo 在prep08里面讲过,as disturbing 第一个as是adv,表示程度。第二个as是连词,连接句子(本题E的连词使用没有问题,因为连词可以连接省略的句子)。既然是两个句子,那么have就不能理解为跨越in his own time 和for ours两个时间区域。
