考研英语句子分析This top-down conception of the fashion business couldn't be more out of date

Question

句子是这样子的
This top-down conception of the fashion business couldn't be more out of date or at odds with the feverish world【 be 】described in Overdressed, Elizabeth Cline's three-year indictment of "fast fashion".
对于被我括号框起来的be我不理解。我做的阅读中有be，但我觉得be这个词是多余的，应该删掉。是不是印刷印错了呢？

Answer 1

下面是我的理解，请参考！

1) 不是多余的
2）couldnt be A or be B结构
3）or at odds with the feverish world【 be 】described in Overdressed,有句序倒装，强调！原句序应为or be described at odds with the feverish world in Overdressed

4）This top-down conception of the fashion business(主语)+couldn't be(谓语)+more out of date or at odds with the feverish world【 be 】described in Overdressed（表语）+Elizabeth Cline's three-year indictment of "fast fashion".(同位语)来自：求助得到的回答

Answer 2

我是在恋练有词书里看到的这个句子，刚好我13年的题找不到了。所以我也不知道原版的是什么
我感觉这个be是多余的 按照那个采纳答案的说法太过于牵强 一般句子里突兀的出现这种原形的时候会考虑是虚拟语气 which should be把which should省略这样的 但是这里也解释不通 所以我觉得be是多余的

Answer 3

肯定不能删除啊，be之前是情态动词，不能单单独做谓语，这是系表结构，be at odds with

Answer 4

我买的何凯文阅读 书上没有这个be
