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

xibao

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

如果这么看呢？

Project SETI pledged a 100 million dollars investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World.

after这里是连词，可以接分句。“five countries after Europeans arrived in the New World” 修饰“Initiated on Columbus Day 1992”

谢谢ls，能不能详解一下。这个，做整句话的什么成分？


同位语吗？？

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...
