Manhattan SC 过去完成时特殊用法疑问

CRX1230 · 发表于 2014-9-1 15:25:18

例句：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.

书上说：
Using this construction, 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).

过去完成时是过去的过去，这里有两个时间点，一个是1980，一个是1980之后的10年里，这么看不是应该用在1980嘛？可是原句用了was

另外在过去完成时的句子里，用had+过去分词是不是有强调过去完成时这部分的作用？

这个部分记忆中Manhattan讲的很清楚，好像是说完成时在这强调ECLIPSED这个动作~

过去完成时要强调“过去的过去”对“过去”的影响。比如she had became too ill to work, so she was fired.

个人意见，‘less than ten years later’这个时间状语的位置很重要，不仅仅修饰but之后的谓语，还起到了承前的作用。试比较“The band U2 WAS just one of many new groups on the rock music scene in the early 1980's, but U2 HAD fully ECLIPSED its early rivals in the pantheon of popular music less than ten years later.
