Apt scholar that he was...的句法分析

Apt scholar that he was,they were equally apt teachers.

请问：that he was 是定语从句吗？apt scholar that he was 整个作状语吗？

that 可以用作连词，引导状语从句，表示让步。相当于though 或although，意为“尽管”。that 用作连词表示让步时，习惯上把表语提到句首。如果表语是可数名词，则去掉冠词。例如：

Difficult that the problem was, he solved it at last.

尽管这是个难题，他最终将它解决了。

网友的句子，在apt 之前省略了冠词an：

Apt scholar that he was, they were equally apt teachers.

= Though he was an apt scholar, they were equally apt teachers.

尽管他是一位聪明的学生，但他们也是同样聪明的老师。

这句话的言外之意是：学生聪明，离不开聪明的老师。

这里的 that he was 不是定语从句，apt scholar that he was 也不是状语。

其实 Apt scholar that he was 是状语（让步状语），其中的 that 也可换成 as / though。

比较同义表达：

Apt scholar that he was

=Apt scholar as / though he was

=Though he was an apt scholar

而句子后半部分 they were equally apt teachers 为主句。

句子意思是：尽管他是位聪明的学者（或学生），但他们也是同样聪明的教师。
