问题 Spanning more than fifty years, Friedrich Muller began his career in an unpromising apprenticeship as a Sanskrit scholar and culminated in virtually every honor that European governments and learned societies could bestow.
选项 A、Muller began his career in an unpromising apprenticeship as
B、Muller’s career began in an unpromising apprenticeship as
C、Muller’s career began with the unpromising apprenticeship of being
D、Muller had began his career with the unpromising apprenticeship of being
E、The career of Muller has begun with an unpromising apprenticeship of
答案 B
解析 句首为现在分词spanning，而句首主语为Friedrich Muller(F．M．)；Spanning在这里是“持续、扩展”之意，把F．M．代入现在分词短语，可译为“F．M．持续了50多年”。读起来总觉得特别扭。好在B选项中Muller’s career给了暗示，把M’s career代入现在分词短语，可译为“在F．M．的50多年的职业生涯中”，搭配很通顺，由此可确认F．M．作主句主语的选项必错，排除A、D。E中有两个错误：(1)the career of Muller单从选项上看无太大问题，但代回原句即为Friedrich the career of Muller．．．显然此搭配有极大问题；(2)begin为非延续性动作，用现在完成时不妥。比较B、C，B中的an unpromising apprenticeship与C中的the unpromisingapprenticeship相比，前者准确反映了句子的原意(原句并无对此“学徒身分”特指的含义)，B中的as明显比of being简洁，选B。
