过去完成时表示“过去的过去”,即在过去某一时间或某一动作之前已经发生的动作或状态,或者表示由过去某一时间开始,延续到过去另一时间为止的动作或状态。简言之,过去完成时,主要用来比较:两个过去的动作发生时间先后的,在先的那个用过去完成时,在后的那个用一般过去时。所以,本句不适合使用过去完成时,主、从句之间...

He told me that his wife had been off on her travels.【翻译】他告诉我他妻子已经出去旅游了。【分析】宾语从句可以分成两个部分理解:(1)be off:离开;出发;外出;出去。这是“系表结构”。(2)on one’s travels:固定习语。意为“在旅游;在旅游中;在旅游时”。这两个意思,我在翻译中已体现出来了:(不在家)外出...
