In his time he enjoyed a reputation _______.
A、as great as Mozart, if not greater than
B、as great as, if not greater than, Mozart
C、as great, if not greater, as Mozart
D、greater, if not as great as Mozart
【正确答案】:B
【题目解析】:该句可翻译为:在他那个时期,即便谈不上比莫扎特还伟大,他也享有与其齐名的声誉!A.as great as Mozart,if not greater than 和B.as great as,if not greater than,Mozart 的关键区别在于:如何把 as great as 和not greater than 这两个比较句式合并的问题,A.显然没有做到,因为than后面缺少比较对象,不对了,只有B。是可以的,它是英语中的省略句式,只用了一个Mozart,简洁、准确。
