as much as 怎么理解和分析

Some wives tend to believe that their husbands are infinitely resourceful and can fix anything. Even men who can hardly drive a nail in straight are supposed to be born electricians, carpenters, plumbers and mechanics. When lights fuse, furniture gets rickety, pipes get clogged, or vacuum cleaners fail to operate, some woman assume that their husbands will somehow put things right. The worst thing about the do-it-yourself game is that sometimes even men live under the delusion that they can do anything, even when they have repeatedly been proved wrong. It is a question of pride as much as anything else.

请教老师:没能看懂这句话 It is a question of pride as much as anything else - 应该怎么进行语法分析和理解?尤其是这里的as much as怎么理解?

as much as anything (else) 为习语,你就不要费心去分析结构了。the freedictionary 对此的释义和例句如下:

as much as anything (else)With the same importance as any other factor.

When you apply to colleges, you need to consider each school's curriculum as much as anything.

Caring for a sick child contributed to their decision to close the business as much as anything else.

你的句子中,It is a question of pride as much as anything else. 意思是,男人必须什么都能干,这是一个面子问题,就像其他(会挣钱、能保护家人等)方面都是男人的颜面一样。
