第十一单元 第三课
▶ 过去完成时的构成
过去完成时(the Past Perfect Tense)由“had+过去分词”构成，had用于任何人
称。
▶ 过去完成时的用法
▪ 表示过去某一时间或动作之前已经发生或完成的动作或存在的状态。句
中常用by, before, when, until等词引导的时间状语。它是以过去某一时间
为起点,所以过去完成时是一个相对的时态,表示的是过去的过去。只有
和过去某时间或某动作相比较时才能用到它。例如:
• Most of the guests had left when he arrived at the party.
当他到达晚会时，大多数客人已经离开了。
• When I was a child, I couldn’t watch TV until I had finished my
homework.
我小时候，要写完作业才可以看电视。
▪ 过去完成时还可表示过去某一时刻之前发生的动作或状态持续到过去某
个时间或持续下去，常与for, since等词连用。例如:
• When Jack arrived, he learned that Mary had been away for almost an
hour.
杰克到时得知玛丽已经离开快一个小时了。
▪ 用于并列句:一个并列句用的是过去式，如果另一个并列句表示的动作
早于过去式这一动作，这时需用过去完成时。例如:
• Jim flew home, but his father had already died.
吉姆乘飞机回家，但他父亲已经去世了。
▪ 在 before, after, as soon as等引导的从句中,由于这些连词本身已经表示出
时间先后，所以可以用过去时来代替过去完成时。例如:
• The thief legged as soon as he saw the police.
那小偷看见了警察后拔腿就跑。
• I found your coat after you left the house.
你离开房子之后，我发现了你的外衣。
▶ 过去完成时的特殊用法
▪ hope, expect, think, intend, mean(=intend), suppose, want等的过去完成时+
动词不定式，表示未曾实现的希望、打算或意图。例如:
• I had intended to come over to see you last night, but someone called me
and I couldn’t get away.
昨晚我本打算过来看望你，但有人打电话找我，我无法抽身。
• She had hoped to catch the last bus but found it was gone.
她原希望乘上最后一班公共汽车，却发现它开走了。
• They had wanted to help but couldn’t get there in time.
他们本想帮忙，但不能及时赶到那里。
• They had hoped to be able to arrive before eleven.
他们本来打算能在十一点之前到达。
注：也可以用was/were+不定式完成时表示过去安排的计划或意愿未能实现。例
如:
• They were to have got married in January, but had to postpone the
wedding until October.
他们原来打算一月结婚,但不得不把婚礼推迟到十月举行。
比较: She was to leave the next day.她打算第二天离开。
She was to have left the next day.她本来打算第二天离开(但没有离开)。
▪ 过去完成时还常用于 “no sooner...than…”“hardly/scarcely/barely...when...”
这类句型中。为了强调，常将 no sooner, hardly, scarcely, barely置于句首
而采用倒装句式。例如:
• No sooner had I got back home than it began to rain.
我刚到家天就开始下雨了。
• Hardly had I left home when the telephone rang.
我刚离开家电话铃声就响了。
