As science and technology progressed, and divided into more sub-disciplines, the centre was simultaneously looking to a time when leading researchers could also be artists, writers and poets, and vice versa.
随着科学技术的进步,并细分为更多的子学科,该中心同时展望一个时代,那时顶尖研究人员也可以是艺术家、作家和诗人,反之亦然。
"when" 引导的分句修饰先行词 "a time",说明“一个怎样的时代”:在那个时代,顶尖研究者也可以是艺术家、作家和诗人。"when" 在从句中作时间状语,相当于 "in which",从句前无逗号隔开,属于限制性定语从句。
