366. Small as it is, the ant is as much a creature as all other animals on earth.
譯文
螞蟻雖小,但是它跟生活在地球上的其他所有生物是一樣的。
點睛
本句中的small as it is意為“盡管它小”。這種“形容詞+as”置于句首的結構通常表明此句是讓步狀語從句。如:
Tired as Mary was, she continued knitting till 6 in the morning. 盡管瑪麗很累,她還是一直織到早上6點。
考點歸納
as much...as意為“與……一樣的……”。如:
The atmosphere is as much a part of the earth as are its soil and the water of its lakes, rivers and oceans. 大氣是地球的一部分,就像土壤、湖泊、河流和海洋的水一樣。
as much表示“也”。如:
I was not in the least surprised, for I had expected as much. 我一點也不吃驚,因為我早已料到會有那樣的事。
