Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace.
【翻译】石头是不腐败的，因此远古年代的工具至今尚存，即使制造这些工具的人的骨头已经毫无痕迹地消失了。
【分析】总体看，long ago 是个副词短语，它与three years ago 相同，都是由“名词+ago”组成。这类副词短语，一般在句中单独使用作时间状语。偶尔也用作名词，放在of后作定语修饰前面的名词。本句即是此用法，of long ago 修饰the tools。又如：
Painters of our own times have become less concerned with painting real things than were artists of long ago. 我们时代的画家变得不像很早以前的画家热衷于描绘真实的景物。
There are three fundamental differences between the financial crisis of three years ago and today's events. 三年前的金融危机与这次有三个根本不同点。
