这句话改成现在分词做状语怎么改,高手进,答对再追加分
He was Domingo Cordova. He had been a great matador in his youth. He had failed in the ring. He had taken to drinking.(…a man who…but having…)
我看答案是He was Domingo Cordova,a man who had been a great matador in his youth, but having failed in the ring, He had taken to drinking.
但是我觉得过去完成时可以直接改吗,觉得很别扭啊,这里过去完成时不是表示
过去某一时间发生的事情吗,He had failed in the ring怎么翻译,是不是过去完成时
如果改成状语从句,时态不就没了吗,不用在乎时态吗?

Answer 1

时态还是有的.因为还是have +failed表示的事完成时,变成现在分词表示的是主语a man发出的动作,前面已经提到了过去完成时,所以用现在分词表示的完成时也就顺理成章的表示的是过去完成时.He had failed in the ring这句话应该是他曾经在圆形斗兽场的比赛中失败过.因为前面说他年轻时当过角斗士.
