請幫忙回答英文文法疑問,謝謝。

Question

Rich as our country is, the qualities of our living are by no means satisfactory. 雖然我們的國家富有，但我們的生活品質絕對令人不滿意


這句話怎沒有連接詞，請問是省略了嗎?
原句應該怎樣寫呢?

謝謝

Answer 1

例句:

儘管他是小孩,他卻很有企圖心

Though he is a child,he's ambitious.

=Child as he is,he's ambitious.

=Despite being a child,he's ambitious.

她是省略though或although的文法

所以原句是

Although our country is rich, the qualities of our living are by no mea
ns satisfactory.

如果用再作文裡

是很漂亮的句子

有問題可以問

謝謝

Answer 2

rich as our country is是一個倒裝語序的讓步副詞子句，不需要使用連接詞，其意義等於 Although our country is rich...　雖然我們國家很富有...
參見趙振才著［英語常見問題大詞典］第91頁倒裝語序的as子句

還有另一種方式：Fool that he was, he managed to evade his pursuers.
Poor that they were, they gave money to charity.
和as的用法類似。見同本書第941頁that引導讓步副詞子句
