如何快速开通steam市场:为什么填as if 而不是although，顺便翻译此句。

因为us和children在这里是同位语us就是children。
妈妈总把我们当成大人似的和我们这些孩子讲话。
as if 是虚拟语气所以后面的BE动词用的也是WERE而不是are.

AS IF

conj.

1. In the same way that it would be if: looked as if she were made of ice.
2. That: It seemed as if the meeting would never end.

AS IF

Also, as though. As it would be, as in He decided to accept, as if it really mattered, or John scowled as though he were really angry. The first idiom dates from the late 1500s, the variant from the late 1700s. Also see make as if.

Mother always spoke to us children AS IF we were adults.

Mother always spoke to us children LIKE we were adults.

Mother always spoke to us children AS THOUGH we were adults.

~

The meaning is that Mother spoke to us not like she was speaking to children, but she spoke to us in the same was as an adult.

You cannot use "although" here, it is completely the wrong meaning.

To use although you would have to use it like this, to have the same meaning:

Although we were children Mother always spoke to us like adults.

ALTHOUGH
conj.

Regardless of the fact that; even though.

Usage Note: As conjunctions, although and though are generally interchangeable: Although (or though) she smiled, she was angry. Although is usually placed at the beginning of its clause (as in the preceding example), whereas though may occur elsewhere and is the more common term when used to link words or phrases, as in wiser though poorer. In certain constructions, only though is acceptable: Fond though (not although) I am of sports, I'd rather not sit through another basketball game.
