Each boy said what he thought had happened.
This sentence is taken from Collins Cobuild Usage, without context. The Chinese version of the dictionary translates the sentence like this:
Each boy said that the thing that he had thought of had happened.
But I would think this sentence means:
Each boy described what had happened the way he thought it happened.
Could you please explain what exactly this sentence means?
