新概念英语第20课语法提问
In1908LordNorthcliffeofferedaprizeof$1,000tothefirstmanwhowouldflyacrosstheEnglishChannel.OnJuly19th,1909,intheearlymorning,HubertLathamtookofffromtheFrenchcoast.'HehadtravelledonlysevenmilesacrosstheChannelwhenhisenginefailedandhewasforcedtolandonsea.
最后一句为什么是hadtravelled?和前后有什么逻辑关系么?
江军回答:
.HehadtravelledonlysevenmilesacrosstheChannelwhenhisenginefailed此句可理解为:他发动机失灵的时候,仅仅跨海峡飞行了几英里.之所以用hadtravelled,是为了和从句的failed体现动作的先后顺序,即先飞行了几英里后,发动机才失灵,符合过去完成时的用法:过去(failed)的过去(hadtravelled),故用hadtravelled.
