关于whether it may be 转换为 be it 的用法

本帖最后由 弹钢琴 于 2022-6-4 11:38 编辑

如 All substances, be they gaseous, liquid or solid, are made up of atoms.
句子可改写为 All substances, whether they may be gaseous, liquid or solid, are made up of atoms.

但我的书中还有一个例句
As we grow up, we form our own identities because we are individuals, so it feels unfair to have our identities compared with others', be it our peers, siblings or parents.
被改写为 ... whether it may be our peers, siblings or parents

这其中的 it 怎么会不是 they 呢?
