3 句子成分分析
Since her birthday is in late summer, eight months behind mine, I basically became her driver when I turned 16 in December.
请问老师：
1 eight months behind mine是名词短语作定语修饰late summer吗？behind mine是介词短语作定语修饰eight months吗？
2 behind mine中behind是表示“落后于”的意思吗？
3 Since her birthday is in late summer和when I turned 16 in December这两个从句对应同一个主句I basically became her driver吗？

这里的介词behind，The Free Dictionary将其解释为later than，这个意思可能是空间意义上的“在…后面”的引申，即时间意义上的“在…后面”，晚于…。
倾向于把介词短语eight months behind mine解释为in late summer的同位语，语意上，对“在晚夏”的进一步说明，所以，原因状语从句似乎也可以这样: Since her birthday is eight months behind mine。
而eight months behind mine中的eight months可以解释为介词behind的程度状语，表示“behind晚于…”的时间跨度为8个月，而mine解释为my birthday，即“晚于我的生日8个月”。
如果解释为两个从句对应一个主句，因为从句是可以置于主句之前的，整体语意不变，不妨转换一下位置，即: Since her birthday is in late summer, eight months behind mine, when l turned 16 in December, l basically became her driver.如果这样，和原句相比，出现了结构混乱，而且语意被割裂不清。所以，倾向于把when从句解释为谓语动词及其宾语—basically became her driver的时间状语，而since从句解释为basically became her driver when l turned 16 in December的原因状语。或者, 可能的解释是:when从句是谓体basically became her driver的时间状语，而主从复合句前的原因状语从句是其句子状语，因为从语意上解释，since从句的语意内容是因，而其后主从复合句的语意内容为果。
