以下是引用蓝飞在2009/4/27 9:52:00的发言：
我觉得同位语不一定就放在后面,作为主语的同位语,一般是放在前面的....我也不明白如果作为同位语可不可以...

作为同位语的话一般会这么表达吧：The chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years and a board member for 28 years, Joan Philkill, attended more than 400 meetings and reviewed more than 700 rezoning application.  好像有点改变句子重心了，主语不是JP，变成了the chair

或者是：Joan Philkill, the chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years and a board member for 28 years, attended more than 400 meetings and reviewed more than 700 rezoning application.
我觉得主语的同位语好像一般都放在主语后面起补充说明作用捏，拿掉也不会影响句子结构……麻烦哪位好心的童鞋贴一下同位语在主语前的例子好哇？谢谢谢谢~

同位语放在主语前或后都不会怎么的影响，除非出现歧义。

我认为，这里就算把句子改成上面的黄体，这个也是错的。本题中的as 是必须的，其最根本的原因是后面有时间状语 for 18 consecutive years和for 28 consecutive years，只能用as the chair for 18 consecutive years，而不能说 the chair for 18 consecutive years，这样很awkward，不能做逻辑意思。而ls mm 举的例子可以不加as，而可以直接作同位语 的原因是后面没有时间状语限制或其他的限制。

prep1-160中也出现 as an educator，a builder...，这个as 在这题中也是必须的吗？原因是因为后面的介词短语in the Black church and secular feminist movements 吗？ 这个我不清楚，请NNs站出来吼一声。还是说这里的as并不是必须的，可以去掉。

这个问题的答案其实就在OG12 page652中

quote
As 作为介词使用时，它的意思是“in the capacity of"
例句：I work as a librarian.

所以本题中无论怎么摆the chair and a board member，as均不能省略。

楼上几位的想法带来很大启发。

我的看法是，去掉AS，做同位语，从语法上没有什么问题，但是和有as相比意思不同。


我觉得AS引导的成分修饰主句的动作。翻译过来会好理解一些，作为XX，他做了什么什么事，强调是以什么什么身份做了这些事，或者说他做这些事的时候是什么身份。而去掉AS变成同位语，则可以分成两部分。  he is the chair for……  and he attended……。我们不知道AND前后的两部分具体有什么关系，无法表达出有AS时表达出的意思。
