同问！！！
刚才开有人的帖子说
2 As much as, experiences are 对人类有帮助的 and 有好处的，the loss of experience 对人类怎么样（具体记不得了，记得反正是不好的意思）————最后跟了一个破折号解释。
              选项有：   *As such,(照这么来说)
                               *Inasmuch as,（因为）
                               *On the whole,（基本上）
                               *As a whole,（整体看，一般）
到底应该选什么呢

那是选inasmuch as吗，我觉得as such貌似对呀，可以翻译成 experience本身就好，求解答，谢谢~

觉得是 as much as,
因为as much as 放句首 用来发布坏的消息
参考http://www.italki.com/question/135612

"As much as" at the beginning of a sentence is usually a way to soften some bad news: As much as I respect you, I do not want to date you. As much as I want to help you, I have no money. As much as he trusts you, he is unable to make the deal. Yes, it is almost the same as using "though", but "as much as" gives a softer and gentler introduction to negative information or bad news.
