全面解析GMAT语法

　　据留学360介绍，在GMAT语法中，经常会出现关于the same as 的考察，而且这还通常涉及到跟the same that 的区别问题。

　　首先请看og174及其解释：

　　174. A letter by Mark Twain, written in nayear as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn were published, reveals that Twain provided financial assistance to one of the first Black students at Yale Law School.

　　A. A letter by Mark Twain, written in the same year as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn were published,

　　B. A letter by Mark Twain, written in the same year of publication as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,

　　C. A letter by Mark Twain, written in the same year that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published,

　　D. Mark Twain wrote a letter in the same year as he published The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn that

　　E. Mark Twain wrote a letter in the same year of publication as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn that

　　In this sentence, the relative pronoun that should introduce the clause The Adventures ... published to make a relative clause modifying year. Also, the singular title of the novel demands a singular verb: for example, one would say, “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is (not “are”) a great book.“ Only C, the best choice, satisfies both requirements. Choices A and D incorrectly substitute as for that to introduce the relative clause. Choice A also mistakes the novel title for a plural (were published). B confuses meaning (written in the same year of publication as). E creates a similar confusion of meaning, and both D and E are awkward and imprecise because that is too far away from its referent (letter) to be clear.

　　解释中清楚而明白地指出：在此句中需要一个关系代词来引导定语从句修饰year。而A错误地用as代替that来引导这个从句.......。 由此证明， the same as 与the same that的用法是有区别的。 我认为这里由于A letter by Mark Twain, written in the same year that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published,

　　注意前面一个的动词是written ，而后面一个的动词是published 所以这里只能用that来引导而不是as。

　　那么我们是否可以认为the same as 比 the same that 更要强调动作的相同性。

　　大家再看看og上其它的例子：由于下面各句中，the same as 比较的针对两个东东的动词都是一致的，所以as后面有大量的省略。
