”The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to American“ 中的the following year的作用
new concept English中第二冊第93課中有一句話：“The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to American”,中的The following year在句中的成份有點看不懂.因為我認為此句不可能是雙主語,本句中的主語"it"指的是“statue”,the following year在此只能起修飾作用,應該是時間短語,但不明白為什么不是以帶介詞形式的介詞短語方式出現(xiàn)呢?例如"In the following year,it was taken to pieces and sent to American."如果加個In 我沒有疑惑了.
