问题描述
请问下面句子中的As hard as she tried是属于什么倒装句？
As hard as she tried, she always fell behind the other swimmers in the races.
句子是什么意思？好像是多了一个as，句子是不是应该为下面这样：
Hard as she tried, she always fell behind the other swimmers in the races.
谢谢！
老师答疑
陈老师：
▲下面句子中的As hard as she tried 可理解为让步倒装：
As hard as she tried, she always fell behind the other swimmers in the races.
句意为：不管她如何努力，她在比赛中也总是落在其他游泳选手的后面。
当然此句也可说成（与上面的句子意思是一样的）：
Hard as she tried, she always fell behind the other swimmers in the races.
即在上面的句子中，As hard as she tried 和 Hard as she tried 都可以说，意思是一样的，但前者主要用于美国英语中。
▲《韦氏高阶英语词典》的as词条有如下用法及例句（包括括号内的解释也出自该词典）：
1. Much as I respect him (=although I respect him very much), I still have to disagree with him on this point.
= (chiefly US) As much as I respect him, I still have to disagree with him on this point.
2. Improbable as it seems, it’s still true.
= (chiefly US) As improbable as it seems, it’s still true. (=although it seems improbable, it’s still true.)
▲其他例句：
As much as I hate to do it, I must stay home and study tonight. ——张道真《现代英语用法词典》much词条
黎老师：
as 表示“虽然”的意思时，必须使用
龙老师：
同意陈老师的观点，另外补充几个例句：
As cold as it was, we went out. 尽管天气很冷，我们还是出去了。（《英语用法指南》第2版第71节）
As bad as he is, he has his good points. 他虽不好，但也有其优点。(=Bad as he is…) （《薄冰高级英语语法》第12.16节）
As popular as he is, the President hasn’t always managed to have his own way. 虽然总统很受拥戴，但他也并非总能随心所欲。（《朗文当代英语辞典》2003年第4版as词条）
