Question

What was once seem as a sign of sophistication is now more likely to be regarded as a dirty hoppy.怎么好像一个句子中有两个谓语。was 和 is

Answer 1

首先，seem打错了，seen才对。
没错，是有两个谓语，was和is。但它们分别属于不同的句子，互相独立，互不影响。
这是一个主语从句。was 是属于主语从句What was once seen as a sign of sophistication（为了方便表达，我们把它记作A）的；那么句子的结构可以这样表达： A is now more likely to be regarded as a dirty hoppy，这是主句。可见，is 是属于主句的谓语的。

Answer 2

你好。你的句子的前半部分里面只能有was或者seemed,只能保留一个，否则就是错句。
1 What was once a sign of sophistication is now more likely to be regarded as a dirty hoppy

2 What once seemed to be a sign of sophistication is now more likely to be regarded as a dirty hoppy

现在 1 和 2 都是正确的句子。

What was（指的是以前） once a sign of sophistication is （指的是现在）now more likely to be regarded as a dirty hoppy

Answer 3

was 应删；seem后面加ed, 句子就通顺了。更有可能的是，原文或者是What was once deemed as a sign ... 之误。

hoppy 可能是hobby之误。

Answer 4

was是主语从句中的谓语，is是句子的谓语。

追问

从句是哪个部分
主句如果只有主谓宾的话是什么样子啊。
