如下面的句子都以much as开头:
Much as I want to, I can’t come. 我想来,但还是不能来。
Much as I regret it, I’ll have to cancel our date. 我对此非常遗憾,但我不得不取消我们的约会。
请问这样的much as 引导的是什么从句?
你的例句都是 as 引导的让步状语从句,表示“虽然、尽管”,但要用部分倒装结构,形式如下:
1. 形容词 + as + 主语 + 系动词。如:
Tired as he is, he offers to help me. 尽管他已经很累了,他还是主动提出帮助我。
2. 过去分词+ as + 主语 + 系动词。如:
Well-written as the book is, the author is not satisfied andprepared to revise it. 尽管这本书写得很好,作者还是不满意并打算修改它。
3. 名词 + as + 主语 + 系动词。如:
Student as he is, he does not study hard. 他虽然是个学生,却不努力学习。
4. 副词+ as + 主语 + 谓语部分。如:
Much as I admire his courage, I don’t think he acted wisely. 我虽然崇拜他的勇气,但我认为他这样做是不明智的。
5. 动词原形+ as + 主语 + 谓语的另一部分(情态动词或助动词may, might, will, would等)。如:
Try as you will, you won’t be able to persuade him. 不管你怎么努力,你都说服不了他。
所以,你的例句均属于第4 类。Much这里为副词。
