问题 Personal trainers and fitness coaches are to the narcissistic 1980’s just like a private fencing master and dancing teacher was to an earlier time.

选项 A、just like a private fencing master and dancing teacher was
B、as have been a private fencing master and dancing teacher.
C、what private fencing masters and dancing teachers were
D、what private fencing masters and dancing teachers are
E、just the same as private fencing masters and dancing teachers had been

答案C

解析 本题考到的是what的一种特殊用法,即:A1 is to A2 what A3 is to A4。为了便于理解,举一道TOEFL全真试题来加深对此题的理解。TOEFL中曾有这样一道选择填空题:Color,line,mass,space and texture are to a painter______to an author.A:are what words;B:what arewords:C:what words are;D:words are what。答案为:C。本句可译为“色彩、线条、空间与画家的关系就如同语言和作家的关系一样”。what从句的真正位置应在are和to之间,作表语成分;而在what从句中,what这个词所作的成分同样是表语。还原即为words are what toan author。该TOEFL填空题与本题属同一结构。由此,可以确认答案在C、D之间;由于what从句中的时间状语是an earlier time,它提示时态应选用过去时,选C。
