1. 关于加不加in---不加in是时间点,加了in是一个period。把the release of African honeybees outside SPB作为时间点X, 那么less than 35 years after X就是X-35这个时间点。举个例子,如果X是1950那么X-35就是1925; 然而如果加了in就像是在1950到1925这段period中怎样怎样。
2. 主句用了过去完成时是过去的过去 那么句中 less than 35 years这是一个过去的时间点点例如1925 release是一个过去的时间点 然而their descendants had migrated这件事情发生在release之前---即less than 35 years这个点 也就是一个过去的时间点的过去 例如1950再往前推了35 years |
