THERE was a time, not that long ago, when China’s big internet companies were dismissed by investors in Silicon Valley as marginal firms with a tendency to copy Western products.
1 请问这里的not that long ago是作同位语还是定语?
2 那个that作什么成分?
1. not that long ago 是非限制性定语,修饰 a time(曾经一次;曾几何时)。这跟英语时间、地点的“从小到大排列” 类似,如:at ten yesterday。先说at ten,再说yesterday。
2. that 是程度副词,意为“那么”,等于so 之意。not that long ago = not so long ago。又如:Your son is that naughty. (=so naughty)
