Over a year passed before the first attempt was made
问题描述：
Over a year passed before the first attempt was made
我什么要这样说呢?强调么?这样很不习惯.干脆说 In a year the first attempt was made .不就行了么?意思一样么?
答
Over a year passed before the first attempt was made
这样说 强调 一年已经过去了,可以这样说：After a year was the first attempt made可你的句子为何用部分倒装了又？Why ?因为通常时间放在句子末，现在提前了，通常倒装可以改成：the first attempt was made after a year
