In a contest as long and difficult as this campaign has been, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance.
以上,出现了比较结构as...as...,想知道:
1)主句是什么,从句是什么?
2)以上as...as...是从句吗?
3)在as...as...句型中,是哪个部分在和哪个部分在比较? 又省略了相同相同的部分?
4)为什么出现了as this campaign has been - 不懂这里为什么有has been ? 语法上如何分析? has been 后有省略吗?省略了什么呢?
5)可否将has been 改为 is ?为什么? 句意有何不同?
谢谢老师!
刘老师是按照没有介词短语解释的,那么long and difficult 可以理解是has been的表语前置,as引导让步状语从句。
可是这个句子显然有介词短语,而显然as long and difficult是a contest的后置定语,而不是has been的表语。这样的话,用让步状语解释就不大通了吧。而且整个句子的意思中并没有让步的含义。
我觉得这个句子中as long and difficult as...就是一个普通的同级比较结构,形容词短语作contest的后置定语。
网友应该注意的是,as比较分句是修饰形容词(as) long and difficult的,而不是修饰句子的。(as) long and difficult 所在的句子就是相对于as分句的主句。

1. In a contest as long and difficult as this campaign has been, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance.(主句)
我把网友的句子稍微简化一下,就好理解了。暂去掉介词短语,去掉第一个as后:
2. (In a contest) long and difficult as this campaign has been, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance.(主句)
可以把as 换成though:
3. (In a contest)though this campaign has been long and difficult, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance.(主句)
句1,是美国英语,等于句2,也等于句3。
这是一个让步状语从句,因此,句2去掉第一个as 后,意思不变。
网友可参考以前的这个解答:

has been 是“现在完成时”,表示已经发生过,is 仍然指现在的状况。它的表语就是long and difficult,被提前到句首。
这样,谁是主句,谁是从句,就一目了然。
