358. Much as I admire David as a poet, I do not like him as a man.
譯文
盡管我很仰慕戴維的詩人身份，但是他的為人我并不喜歡。
點睛
本句中雖然有as和much as，但是二者并沒有構成固定搭配as much as（如……一樣）或者as much...as（如……一樣……）。much as在此處意為“盡管；雖然”，此后的兩個as都是指“作為；把……當做”。
考點歸納
as一詞的含義和用法十分豐富。如：
作副詞，意為“同樣地；像”。如：
The girl sings as sweetly as a nightingale. 這個女孩的歌唱得如夜鶯般婉轉。
作連詞，意為“當……之時；因為”。如：
1) As he became older he lost his interest in everything. 隨著年紀越來越大，他對所有的東西都失去了興趣。
2) As you weren't there I left you a message. 由于你當時不在那里，我就給你留了個信。
作介詞，意為“把……當做”。如：
That lovely kitten uses the box as its bed. 那只可愛的小貓把那個盒子當做它的床。
