问题描述
When I was a lad his age I would laugh at the strangest things.
我是他那样的小毛孩时，莫明其妙地就会发笑。
请教这句话中的【his age】是作为什么成分呢？
老师答疑
曾老师：
his age是名词短语作后置定语。其实，a lad his age是a lad of his age的省略形式，of sb's age“像某人那么大；与某人同龄”是介词短语，且of常可省略，省略后应将其看作是名词短语，常用作表语或定语。如：
She is (of) my age.她与我同龄。《简明英汉词典》（表语）
They are (of) the same age.他们两人同年。《现代英语惯用法词典》（表语）
a boy (of) your age 像你那么大的男孩《现代英语惯用法词典》（定语）
We have a son your age.我们有个儿子和你同岁。《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》（定语）

请教这句话中的【his age】是作为什么成分呢？
回答如下：
有以下2种理解
（1）名词短语作状语
（2）名词短语作后置定语
备注：还可以在前面加介词at/of构成介词短语at his age/ of his age
(sb would do sth 表示主语过去经常习惯上的动作，不说明现在是否还这样做，但是sb used to do sth 表示某人过去常常做某事，现在不再做了。因此要注意他们去区别）
