求教刘老师,how far back 如何理解
No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go,but some scholars recorded date from 776B.C.
这句话里面的 how far back
这里的date from 是追溯的意思吗?

Answer 1

我认为你这个句子有错误：
No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go,but some scholars recorded date from 776 B.C.
应改为：No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some scholars think the recorded date was from 776 B.C.
go back：追溯 go how far back： 追溯多远
date from：直译“日期从.开始”,意译“追溯”.
【译文】没有人确切知道,奥运会追溯到多么久远,但有些学者认为,有记载的日期是从公元前776年开始.
