Question

aristocrat who had been imprisoned in the Bastille for twenty years.这里为什么不用现在完成时
A famous actor in a highly successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat who had been imprisoned in the Bastille for twenty years.这是全句.

Answer 1

这个著名演员诠释的这个角色,入狱二十年.the Bastille是过去的事情了,这是历史,是过去发生的,现在一定是过去式.而 时间状语for twenty years决定了还得用完成时.二者结合起来就是过去完成时.
