为什么填as if 而不是although,顺便翻译此句。

Mother always spoke to us children ________ we were adults.

因为us和children在这里是同位语us就是children。
妈妈总把我们当成大人似的和我们这些孩子讲话。
as if 是虚拟语气所以后面的BE动词用的也是WERE而不是are.

AS IF

conj.

1. In the same way that it would be if: looked as if she were made of ice.
2. That: It seemed as if the meeting would never end.
