请问下面两句都可以表示“三年之后……”的意思吗?两个是否都能做时间状语呢?
3 years passed, I meet her again.
3 years later, I meet her again.
付老师:
▲我觉得第一句至少应改为:
3 years passed, and I meet her again.
这个句子是个并列句,其中,3 years passed(三年过去了)是个简单句,并非时间状语。
▲第二句中的 3 yearslater(三年后) 是时间状语。
这两个句子当中的meet似乎也应改为 met。
▲pass 与 later 的用法:
1. pass [I] (of time) go by; be spent (指时间)消逝, 过去
A few years passed and he wanted to work.
Three years passed, and I had not lost my ambition to become the headmaster of a grammar school.
2. later adv. 以后, 稍后, 随后
I met her again three years later.
