For a psychology journal to outperform an operations journal| that's as disgraceful as Michael Phelps being trounced in the 100m freestyle by Dr. Phil.
上面的句子用being trounced是否修饰Michael Phelps,然后和前面的that(For a psychology journal to outperform an operations journal)形成比较。
谢谢!
Michael Phelps being trounced in the 100m freestyle by Dr. Phil 为动名词复合结构,在as比较分句中做主语,省略了系词be。Michael Phelps为动名词的逻辑主语。
