Question

they realized the clock had stopped ------.A,before midnight B,after midnight 新概念2册第九课练习
我选的是A,我认为是：他们意识到钟在午夜前就停止了.
但答案是B,翻译为：在午夜之后他们意识到钟已经停了.
这个位置的时间状语到底是修饰宾语从句还是主句?
尽量给些例子...3Q

Answer 1

亲,课内容是“ 'It's two minutes past twelve!The clock has stopped!' 所以忠实于原文的理解是要选B的.
They realized (that) the clock had stopped after midnight.时间状语是修饰主句”午夜之后他们意识到钟已经停了”
