though引导的省略句

Though no social reformer, he worried about the danger of working-class support for socialism.

尽管他不是个社会改革者，但还是担心工人阶级支持社会主义所带来的风险。

这里though引导从句，是省略了主语he和be动词is吗？如果省略了，为什么reformer前面不加a? 把no换成not也可以吗？

Though no social reformer, he worried about the danger of working-class support for socialism.

=Though he is not a social reformer he worried about the danger of working-class support for socialism.

参考译文：尽管他不是个社会改革者，但还是担心工人阶级支持社会主义所带来的风险。

解答如下：

no+名词=not a/an+名词

He has no books

=He doesn't have any books

=He doesn't have a book,

(1)no为形容词，修饰名词，

(2)为否定副词，修饰系动词is
