释义
much as     

【问】No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements. Much as we may pride ourselves onour good taste,we are no longer free to choose the things we want... (New Concept English,Book 3,P.70)

[原译] 没有人能够不受广告的影响。尽管我们并不以有鉴别力自许,但是我们在挑选

我们所需要的东西时却已不由自主了……(上海科技文献出版社,P.128)译文似乎不合逻辑,请分析。

【答】 译文把much as...从句的意思完全弄反了。much as...taste是一个由as引导出的让步状语从句。类例:

1. Much as I admire his courage,I don’t think he acted wisely.

我虽然佩服他的勇气,但我不认为他这样做是聪明的。

2. Complex as is the path of the moon,it is possible to predict unerringly eclipses manyyears in advance of their occurrence.

尽管月球的轨道很复杂,但是在发生月蚀前许多年就能准确无误地进行预报。

3. Significant as is the subject of high-speed flight,our book will not devote to it but willdevote to the subject of low-speed flight.

尽管高速飞行问题是非常重要的,但是我们这本书不讨论这个问题,而将对低速飞行问题加以研究。

[试译] ……虽然我们以具有很好的鉴别力而感到自豪,但是现在我们再也不可能自由地选择自己需要买的东西了……
