Alarming as it may seem

Hey there, sorry to point out that the other post is wrong. 'Alarming as it may seem' actually has a different meaning!!!

{Adjective + as + Noun +Verb} is actually an INVERSION sentence pattern. People generally use the word 'though' to replace 'as' too.

So, 'alarming as it may seem' = 'alarming THOUGH it may seem' = 'THOUGH it may seem alarming'

E.g.
Original sentence:
Though he looks attractive, he is gay.
You may also say:
1. Attractive though he looks, he is gay.
2. Attractive as he looks, he is gay.

ALL 3 SENTENCES CARRY THE SAME MEANING. In grammatical sense this is inversion.

Alarming as it may seem = 看起來令人擔憂

Alarming as it may seem 等於 It may seem alarming

Example:

Alarming as it may seem, the world's oil supplies are dwindling rapidly.
