(3) what 引导的从句也可以放在句首,其句式是:
What C is to D, that A is to B.(= A is to B what C is to D.)
在这一结构中,喻体在前,主体在后,相当于“just as...,so...”结构,意思也是“A对B而言正如C对D一样”例如:
What blood vessel is to a man's body, that railway is to transportation.(=
Just as blood vessel is to a man's body,
so Railway is to transportation.)铁路对于运输,好比血管对于人体一样。

刚看了一下小胖子语法心得,叙述内容如下:
what = just as,意为“恰像,犹如,好比”用作连词,引导比较状语从句
(1) 惯用句式是:A is to B what C is to D. 意为“A对B而言正如C对D一样”例如:
Air is to us What water is to fish. 空气对于我们犹如水对于鱼。(介词to表示两者的关系)
(2) 也有“A is for B what C is for D.”句式。例如:
Poultry is for the cook what canvas is for the paint. 厨师离不了家禽正如画家离不开画布一样。(介词for表示“供…使用”)
(3) what 引导的从句也可以放在句首,其句式是: What C is to D, that A is to B.(= A is to B what C is to D.)
在这一结构中,喻体在前,主体在后,相当于“just as...,so...”结构,意思也是“A对B而言正如C对D一样”例如:
What blood vessel is to a man's body, that railway is to transportation.(=Just as blood vessel is to a man's body, so Railway is to transportation.)铁路对于运输,好比血管对于人体一样。
(4) 需要注意的是what不可以直接被just as替换,just as需要有遵循属于自己的平行比较格式。
不知道是否对LZ有帮助
