366. Small as it is, the ant is as much a creature as all other animals on earth.
译文
蚂蚁虽小,但是它跟生活在地球上的其他所有生物是一样的。点睛
本句中的small as it is意为“尽管它小”。这种“形容词+as”置于句首的结构通常表明此句是让步状语从句。如:Tired as Mary was, she continued knitting till 6 in the morning. 尽管玛丽很累,她还是一直织到早上6点。
考点归纳
as much...as意为“与……一样的……”。如:
The atmosphere is as much a part of the earth as are its soil and the water of its lakes, rivers and oceans. 大气是地球的一部分,就像土壤、湖泊、河流和海洋的水一样。
as much表示“也”。如:
I was not in the least surprised, for I had expected as much. 我一点也不吃惊,因为我早已料到会有那样的事。
