You can even make a tricky sentence in which the first clause expresses an early action in Simple Past. Then, a second clause expresses a later action in Past Perfect to indicate continued effect (by a still later past time).

Right: The band U2 WAS just one of many new groups on the rock music scene in the early 1980's, but less than ten years later, U2 HAD fully ECLIPSED its early rivals in the pantheon of popular music.


我们都知道过去完成时是“过去的过去”,manhattan上也说了必须要有一个later event 存在, earlier event才用过去完成时。
可是大家看上面那个句子,很显然后面的动作发生在前面的动作之后,但是它仍然用了过去完成时,请牛牛们解答一下这到底是为什么呀。。。

后面的动作eclipse多了一个时间参照:less than ten years later,也就是1990年之前,所以用过去完成时

再补充点Ron解释:
you can even make a tricky sentence in which the first clasuse expresses an early action in simple past. Then, a second clause expresses a later action in past perfect to indicate continued effect (by a still later past time).

the "later event" here is the TIME MARKER "less than ten years later".
the clause before "but" is completely independent - i.e., that event has nothing to do with the past-perfect construction.
