一句英语翻译

Jane Austen' most famous work,might be updated,200 years on. 200 years on是什么意思什么结构？这句话是不是省略了什么？谢谢！
原句：Let us imagine how Jane Austen’s most famous work might be updated, 200 years on。

Answer 1

Let us imagine how Jane Austen’s most famous work might be updated, 200 years on.
让我们想象一下，简`奥斯汀最出名的作品在200年后可能会被更新成什么样。

200 years on：200年以后。
on 可以做副词表示...以后，相似用法有early on, later on.
例如：
Later on I learned how to read music...
后来我学会了识谱。
The pub where I had arranged to meet Nobby was a good five minutes walk further on.
我约诺比见面的那家酒馆至少得再走5分钟才到。

Answer 2

Jane Austen' most famous work,might be updated,200 years on.
简-奥斯汀最著名的作品（傲慢与偏见）可能是更新后的版本，距今200年了。

请参考以下部分文摘，文中讲到200年前一个叫Thomas Egerton的人从Jane Austen手中买下这剧本，重新编写并命名，意思是我们现在所读的版本是Thomas Egerton改编后的，而非Jane Austen的原版。
January 2013 marked 200 years since Pride and Prejudice was published, but not since it was written; that occurred more than a decade previously, when Austen’s manuscript of First Impressions, as it was then called, was rejected out of hand.
　　The reworked and retitled version was final-ly taken on by Thomas Egerton, a publisher of military and political titles who had little expe-rience of fiction; he paid Austen a flat fee of ￡110, which she accepted, having no idea how well her previous novel, Sense　and Sensi-bility, was doing.

追问

on是怎么回事？

追答

翻译可能错了，正确是下面朋友的，be updated on 200 years,是时间状语从句
