句子可能出现在一篇回忆录或科幻文章中。
句中有两个并列谓语,即:
(I) had a "time lag" flashback 我眼前重现了“滞后的时间”
And (I) saw the area again as it had been in the year AD2008 随着时间定格在公元2008年,我再次看到了那个地区。
难点如下:
time lag:指“时滞、延缓、落后”
flashback:指“(事件)重现”或“(时光)倒流”
as it had been in the year AD2008:连词as引导状语从句,修饰第二个谓语动词,说明saw的时间;由于进入AD2008早于saw the area,因此从句用过去完成时had been。
