When a passing tanker rescued them five days later,both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave.
1.请问,为什么这个句子直接用both men 而不是both of the men ,两者有区别吗?
2. 描述5天后被救,为什么用表示“当时”的when从句呢?
both men = both of the men (the men 一共是两个人),前者简练。
five days later 指when 从句中 rescued 发生的时间;而 when 从句指 were sorry 的时间。两个时间修饰的谓语动词不同。
