==============================================

1.similar to 的用法是 be similar to ^^

2.many of Henry James's characters=Forster's heroes 沒錯 ^^

[Grace]

character [角色]與hero 屬同類可以比較.
Henry James 跟Forster　對稱

[illuna]

我覺得B錯並不是因為similar to的問題....

因為在分詞構句的結構下省略連接詞動詞改成ing那being早就省略了...

我覺得B錯是錯在比較不同類...

「Henry James是一個小說家...Forster也是另一個小說家...句意是指Forster筆下的英雄很像Henry James小說中的角色....」

我想說的是我們不是美國學生...而這題的背景知識美國學生不會覺得怪..對吧..

但是我們不知道的就會落入比較的東西到底哪個才是同類上..... 8-|

同意 ^^

[吉法師]

好像Simular to放句首都錯吧^^
因為characters所以用many

[davidlee0222]

角色比較只有A跟D同類
其他都錯
similar to 慣用
但改變句意
like是類比幾乎一樣
similar事相似度七八成
在講雙胞胎但仍不一樣
因此若原句是like
similar to 都改變句意

大家不覺得這題A選項有雙重所有格嗎? 為什麼還是正確答案?

用 Like so many H.J.'s characters 就好了...
AT不是最注重concise?

用 Like so many H.J.'s characters 就好了...
或Like so many of H.J. character

答案不是A吧!

so many of Henry James's characters
Henry所有角色中的許多個角色。

so many H.J.'s characters
許多Henry的角色。
