事实上, 这就是语法练习,我们美国人不那么说。一般人会说“we are both什么什 么什么”, 在这句话 "I" 是主语但是有的人错误地认为离动词最近的名词是主语。 (我的中文是正确地使用的吗?)

"as well as you" are intervening words and so if you get rid of those words, you still come up with the original sentence " I am a lawyer."

The words inside the two commas are just giving extra information; you can just delete them and obtain a right complete sentence anyway: "I (as well as you) am a lawyer" the main sentence is "I am a lawyer" (and not "I is a lawyer") Francesco :)
