In previous times, people didn’t have a solid idea of childhood as being separate from adulthood.
请问该句中的"as being separate from adulthood"是做什么成分呢,是后置定语吗?如果是的话,这里的as是什么用法呢?我知道像"consider...as..."中的"as..."是作宾语补足语,as可以省略,同时如同as后跟的是名词或形容词,则可加上being(也可省略),例如这句话:Software and hardware are often regarded as being very separate concepts. 这句话中的"as being..."是作主语补足语,而being是强调,其实being是可以省略的吧。如果是这样的话,那我原句问题中的"as being..."是否也是这个用法,只不过在句中所作成分不同而已,一个是作后置定语,一个是补语。最后,能否参照原句问题的样式,再举出几个例子让我学习下呢?万分感谢!
