Although it seemed to take all her strength, the patient summoned up a smile to her mom.
老师,请问这里的it是形式主语,真正主语是:the patient summoned up a smile to her mom 吗?但是 the patient summoned up a smile to her mom 应该是主句才对呀,怎么理解这个it呢?
Although it seemed to take all her strength, the patient summoned up a smile to her mom.
1. 作为代词,it 通常为“后照应指代”。但在这里它是“前照应指代”,也就是说,it 在前,被它指代的成分在后面,就是指代后面这个句子:the patient summoned up a smile to her mom.
2. Although 是从属连词“尽管;虽然”,不是副词,不等于however,更不等于 but,因为 but 引导的是并列分句,始终在后面,不在前面。

参考译文:这位病人向她的妈妈摆出一幅笑脸,不过这似乎让她使尽了全身的气力。
备注(1):it指代后面整句话内容,即病人做那件事情。
备注(2):although 意思 不过;然而,类似于however,but
I felt he was wrong, although I didn't say so at the time.
我觉得他错了,不过我当时没有说出来。
