Question

英语语法和翻译

"What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing,"said business consultant Maisly Jones. 谁能帮我解释下这句话 还有最后那个said不应该放在句末吗？

Answer 1

1、not a single没有一个，that might have indicated that the pebbles came from the nearby continent是修饰pebble的定语从句~~
2、可以借用not...until句型来翻译。Many scholars didn't believe that...until the late 1970s.中didn't believe 中的否定其实来自于that宾语从句。通常我们翻译“他认为她是不对的。”时译为“He dosen't think she is right.”而不译为“He thinks she isn't right.”所以不写成not until，因为not来自于后面的宾语从句。
是否可以解决您的问题？
