这是个电影台词:But as much as I fear war between Earth and Mars, I fear the peace more, for that is when they will turn their sights aback on all of us.
请问这句话中的as much as该怎么理解或分析?感觉有种让步的意味,想知道这是否有分析的价值呢?
是的,这里的 as much as 表示让步,意思是“虽然”“尽管”。又如:
As much as I should like to buy the house, I can’t afford it. 虽然我想买那栋房子,但却付不起钱。
As much as it pains me to admit it, she was right. 尽管承认这一点对我来说很痛苦,但她是对的。
As much as I hate it, I’m not willing to chuck my job. 虽然我非常讨厌我的工作,但我还是不愿辞掉它。
As much as he has contributed to the company, he has outstayed his welcome and needs to go. 尽管他对公司做了很多贡献,但他在公司已经不再受欢迎,得离开了。
