But the Taliban can be both fanatical and pragmatic, it turns out. Their leaders hope to rule Afghanistan soon, a quarter of a century after they first subjected the country to a reign of pious terror. 状语、同位语?
谢谢各位老师!
Their leaders hope to rule Afghanistan soon, (a quarter of a century) after they first subjected the country to a reign of pious terror.
我把a quarter of a century 加上括号就明确了。原来这个名词词组放在 after 时间状语从句之前,修饰这个从句的,具体说是名词词组,副词用法。说明第一次将阿富汗置于虔诚的恐怖统治的四分之一个世纪之后,加了这个时间意味着延长到这段时间之后。
我举一个类似的例句:
He arrived three days after you left. 意思是:你离开三天之后他才来。
