sat 语法new zealand had fostered a thriving local music scene
4个回答

以下两个句子发生的时间不同:

第一分句 New Zealand had fostered a thriving local music scene for decades,指的是新西兰在“过去再往前数的更早的数十年中”就 fostered a thriving local music scene.

第二分句 but it was not until the late 1980s that New Zealand musicians began to reach international audiences.指的是一直到“现在以前的二十世纪八十年代” New Zealand musicians began to reach international audiences.

也就是说,had fostered a thriving local music scene 发生的时间要早于八十年代的 musicians began to reach international audiences.要把这两种不同过去时空区别开来,前者只能用过去完成时去再往前追溯比后者更早的时间.

注:原句有错,第二分句的 it was not until the late 1980s when 应该改为强调句式 it was not until the late 1980s that.
