Today, the question Im asked most often by students and interns is how best to achieve their career goals. As simple as it sounds, the short version of my response is that you have to know what it is you ultimately want to accomplish.
请问句中As simple as it sounds作什么成分，是比较状语吗？
As simple as it sounds, the short version of my response is that you have to know what it is you ultimately want to accomplish.
【翻译】尽管听起来非常简单，但我的简要回答是，你须知你最后想要达成什么。
【剖析】从翻译就已经看出来了：As simple as it sounds 是让步状语从句，不是比较状语从句，这是美国英语使用方法。等于：
1. Simple as it sounds, （表语提到句首）
2. Simple though it sounds,（表语提到句首）
3. Though it sounds simple,（正常语序）
