358.Much as I admire David as a poet, I do not like him as a man.
英语四级译文:
尽管我很仰慕戴维的诗人身份,但是他的为人我并不喜欢。
四级词汇讲解:
本句中虽然有as和much as,但是二者并没有构成固定搭配as much as(如...一样)或者as much...as(如...一样...)。much as在此处意为“尽管;虽然”,此后的两个as都是指“作为;把……当做”。
英语四级考点归纳:
as一词的含义和用法十分丰富。如:
※ 作副词,意为“同样地;像”。如:
The girl sings as sweetly as a nightingale.这个女孩的歌唱得如夜莺般婉转。
※ 作连词,意为“当……之时;因为”。如:
1) As he became older he lost his interest ire everything.随着年纪越来越大,他对所有的东西都失去了兴趣。
2) As you weren't there I left you a message.由于你当时不在那里,我就给你留了个信。
※ 作介词,意为“把……当做”。如:
That lovely kitten uses the box as its bed.那只可爱的小猫把那个盒子当做它的床。
