句子成分分析

John's skeleton had been unearthed in the backyard of his home not far from where his mother had been sitting.

此歧义句，先不考虑not far from...作后置定语的情形。关于此句，在修饰谓语动词时，该如何正确理解这个句子的两个地点状语之间的关系？

【1】John's skeleton had been unearthed in the backyard of his home not far from where his mother had been sitting.

参考译文：约翰的尸骨是从他家后院被挖掘出来的，其位置离他妈妈过去常坐的地方不远。(妈妈坐在院子里面)

备注：以上“from where his mother had been sitting”是按照状语从句理解”修饰谓语动词“had been unearthed”表示“挖掘的地点位置”

【2】John's skeleton had been unearthed in the backyard of his home not far from where his mother had been sitting.

参考译文：约翰的尸骨是在他家的后院被挖掘出来，该后院离他妈妈过去常坐的地方不远。(妈妈坐在院子外面)

备注：以上“from where his mother had been sitting”按照“定语从句理解”修饰前面名词“the backyard”。
