Finally, with both of us combining our linguistic and imaginative resources, finally, after what seems another hour, we decode it.

請教老師：

1) with both of us combining our linguistic and imaginative resources 可否用完成時，即

with both of us HAVINg combined our linguistic and imaginative resources ? 為何？

2) after what seems another hour - 這句中，不懂seem到底是什么使用方法和含義，what在這里是主語嗎？seems系動詞謂語？ 那 another hour就是表語？

問題是：what到底代表了什么，的意思是呢？怎么樣正確理解并翻譯 what seems another hour ？？？

謝謝老師！

1) with both of us HAVINg combined our linguistic and imaginative resources

讀起來給人一種前面做過的A事件對文中B事件的影響，顯然與原文不合。

2) after what seems another hour，what名詞從句，結構非常簡單，類似what is another hour，用seem語氣會緩和，what seems是一個容易見到的用法搭配
