Question

一小段英语短文的翻译，急急急

（1）Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told usthat our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend C arla and I both love. Carla has a good imagination, and I know a lot of history, so we thought we’d be good choice for the team.
（2）A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the show. He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup（替补）. Unluckily four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a competition and the top eight scorers would become the team and the back up. Everybody agreed that this was a fair way to decide.
（3）Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to decide the starting line-up（阵容）. Mr. Gaudi acted as the host. After a couple of hours, all the places on the team were set except one. Carla and I tied for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition between the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup.
（4）Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead. Then I saw the look on Carla’s face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted it even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla win, just by a little bit. Her expression as she realized she would be on the show made up for my not being on the team. And since I will go as backup, I’ll still have the fun of seeing the show up close.
（5）Was I cheating by not trying as hard as I could? I don’t think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didn’t plan it. It won't hurt the team because Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.

只要翻译第（4）、（5）两两段，请标准翻译，不要机器翻译的，谢谢

Answer 1

（4）在我们两人的比赛中途，刚开始我领先。之后我看到Carla的表情，我停了一下然后知道我该怎么做了。尽管我很想参加Smart Alerk，但Carla更想。所以，从我的下一个问题开始，我忍住并让Carla赢了一点。她意识到自己将会去参加比赛的表情弥补了我不能代表团队出席的遗憾。尽管我只能作为替补前去，我还是很高兴看到比赛近在眼前。

（5）我没有尽我所能算是中欺骗吗？我不这么认为。没有人注意到，而且Carla和我事先没有计划。这不会影响到团队，因为在真实的比赛中Carla是个很棒的竞赛选手。我觉得让我最好的朋友开心是正确的做法。

追问

As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted it even more.
详细说一下这个句子，as much as 是连词吗？怎么放在句首了。如果是什么意思，如果不是，请详解

追答

A as much as B 表示一种程度，基本理解是A投入的时间/精力/金钱/热情...跟B一样多”，最常用的就是as much as possible "跟可能的一样多（尽可能）"。这里as much as放在句首是用来强调，也是用来丰富句子结构，提高文章可读性。

下面这句估计你比较理解：
Carla wanted to be on Smart Aleck as much as I did. Carla跟我一样想参加Smart Aleck。
转换：As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted it as well. 翻译同上。
再转换：As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted it even more. Carla比我还想参加。

至于是不是连词，我说不准了，语法那些术语都忘差不多了。中文的“我是学生” 到底是主谓宾还是主系表我都搞不清楚。

Hope it helpful.
