Who are we instead of “as”?
I am plagued by a sentence from Nature. (No real rhyme). I will not be able to answer unless I read it myself. Though understanding the meaning it conveyed, clearly I cannot write in that way. Here is the sentence.
Focusing evaluation on such inflexible terms leads us ( a ), as scientists at the beginning of our careers ( b ), to adopt utilitarian rather than academic motives.
I view b as an infinite attribute to modify us in a, and I would replace as in b with who are. How do I explain the organization of a sentence?
I suppose you are talking about this post.
This is “being currently” and uses “as” which begins a nominal clause, separated from the main clause by commas.
You can move the different clauses of the sentences to understand better :
Focusing evaluation on such inflexible terms leads us to adopt utilitarian rather than academic motives, as scientists at the beginning of our careers.
Or
As professionals at the beginning of our careers, focusing evaluation on such inflexible terms leads us to adopt utilitarian rather than academic motives.
to the fact of
being current, focusing evaluation on such inflexible terms leads us to adopt utilitarian rather than academic motives.
Can someone tell me something about this song?
