如何理解before that she could remember?

有一读者问: 有这样一句话:

(1)She had never read that passage before that she could remember.

如何理解before that she could remember? 介词before可后接一宾语从句吗?

before在此不是介词,而是副词,意为“在以前”。that在此意为as far as, that she could remember意为“就她记忆所及”。that=as far as的情况还有如我们常见到的:

(2)Not that I know of. (=就我所知,不是这样)
