求解一道蓝皮og语文分册的题~~ 只需一小翻译一下 浪费各位30秒

Initiated on Columbus Day 1992, five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World, Project SETI pledged a 100 million dollars investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.  

这题原本是全划线，上面这句是正确答案。
请问：这句话中five countries after Europeans arrived in the New World做什么成分啊，应该是作状语啊..那arrived就是过去分词啊，怎么翻译啊？？ arrived不可以理解为谓语动词吗（这样这句话就有两个谓语动词了）。这是一道SC的题


多谢了~~~ 难道是独立主格？？晕菜了

这句话five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World 做Columbus Day 1992的同位语，只作为补充修饰成分，在理解的时候可以去掉不看。做题的时候直接将句子简化为Initiated on..., Project SETI pledged a 100 million dollars investment in...
