Much as I admire David as a poet, I do not like him as a man.
我崇拜作为一名诗人的大卫,但并不喜欢作为一个男人的他。
much as意为“虽然,尽管”,有时也可指“无论多么”。
You use much as to introduce a fact which makes something else you have just said or will say rather surprising.
我们用much as引出一个事实,而这件事会让人对我们所表达的另一观点感到很惊讶。在本句中,大抵就是“欣赏他的诗,但并不欣赏他的为人”的意思。类似的还有although,也可用于表示惊奇或出乎意料
