【译文】这正如我们希望的那样,是个了不起的成功。
考查比较结构。比较结构往往可以“还原”为非比较结构来判断比较的对象以及主句的语法关系。选项B,D还原后,句型一致,都是“It was a success much.”显然不合语法,可以排除。对选项A,或者属于It was more X than Y句型,此时X和Y属于并列结构,表示“与其说是Y,不如说是X”。显然,这样理解不成立。或者就只能理解为普通比较句,还原后为:It was much a success.这不合语法。much只能修饰不可数名词,后面不用“a+名词单数”。选项C还原后为:It was much of a success.这种句型中,much是代词,表示something very good;be much of表示“有……气概或风度,了不起的”。又如:He is not much of a gentleman.(他没有君子风度。)因此,唯一合乎语法的结构是C。
