He waited until the volcano became quiet and he was able to return two days later.
问题描述：
He waited until the volcano became quiet and he was able to return two days later.
新概念第二册67课,这句如果把and拆开,请问如何拆,其实我是没有搞明白until和and的关系,
拆法一:
He waited until the volcano became quiet.
He waited until he was able to return two days later.
拆法二:
He waited until the volcano became quiet.
He was able to return two days later.//如果这么拆,这句怎么翻译呢?
请问哪种拆法是对的,或都不对,最好简单说下理由
答
从句意上来理解的话拆法二比较合适,译为：他等着直到火山平息,两天后他就可以回去了结合原课文上下文，他是回到火山口，不是回到安全的地方那这样来看的话就应该是拆法一了，因为他等待的原因一是躲避岩浆，一是再返回观测我想搞清楚and的用法，这里用and竟然省略了一个until,这样理解对吗可以的 英语中当两简单句用连词连接，如果两句主语、谓语相同，即可省略后一句的主语谓语（不过不省略也可）
