问题描述:

most recently eight years ago
The two countries have tried and failed before to reach agreement most recently eight years ago.

两国在8年里经常去努力达成共识,却都失败了。

在最近八年前,两个国家尝试达成共识但最后失败
most recently 最近
eight years ago 八年前

因此在最近这8年前两个国家已经达成共识他们之前仍在不断努力和经受失败。

八年前,两国试图达成协议,但失败了。

读的时候在most recently后面停顿一下,就好理解了!读英文长句的时候一定要找准停顿.
意思是:这两个国家都在尝试过且失败过,直到最近(的八年前)达成了协议.(这是八年前的事)时间可以翻译在前,也可以放在中间,也可以放在最后!

几乎在整整八年以前

估计是最近八年以来的意思吧
