英语翻译
整句是：this requirement is not met if you have been absent from the PRC for more than two years immediately preceding your application不是太明白.
什么是immediately preceding your application呀,是说在国外呆超过两年就不能申请,还是说只是不能立即申请?

Answer 1

就是“在国外呆超过两年,不能马上申请”的意思（得在中国在待一阵子才行）.
.if you have been absent from the PRC for more than two years immediately preceding your application 意思是说“如果你在国外呆超过两年,紧接着提出申请”,相当于 if you have been absent from the PRC for more than two years immediately followed by filing your application.
precede 的意思是“在.之前提出”.如 Students' salutions to the teacher precede class presentation.（学生向老师致敬是在正式讲课之前.）
