前者將來(lái)時(shí),后者過(guò)去式翻譯成 幾年之后嗎？ after years ago是幾年之前？in a few years在接下來(lái)的幾年after years ago 若干年以后In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory如果換成after years ago 之后 有什么區(qū)別嗎？在此情況下沒有區(qū)別表示將來(lái)時(shí)和過(guò)去時(shí)的時(shí)候才有區(qū)別如果沒有上下文語(yǔ)境，In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory這句話是不準(zhǔn)確的。
