3. as引导的让步状语从句

as引导让步状语从句时，意为＂尽管，虽然＂，从句多位于主句之前，而且必须使用倒装语序。通常如果从句中有形容词或名词作表语，则把表语置于句首，而且名词前要省略冠词；如果从句中有修饰动词的副词，则将该副词置于句首；如果从句中有情态动词，则将情态动词后的动词原形置于句首。此用法与though的倒装完全一致。(although无此用法) Much as I admire his courage, I don’t think he acted wisely.我虽然佩服他的勇气，但我认为他这样做是不聪明的。

Strong as you maybe, you cannot lift it. 虽然你可能很有力气，你却无法把它提起来。Child as he is, he is very brave.尽管他还是个孩子，但是他很勇敢。
