题目

before she had anchored ,the men from the boats had climbed on board and the
before she* had* anchored ,the men from the boats* had* climbed on board and the decks were soon covered with colorful rugs.第二句用had我知道是过去的过去,第一句为什么也用had?

答案

Before she* had* anchored ,the men from the boats* had* climbed on board and the decks were soon covered with colorful rugs . 意思是：在她抛锚停船这个动作完成之前,那在小船上的男人早已爬上大船,不久,甲板上都铺满彩色地毯了.climb的动作在anchor前发生,用过去完成时 had climbed .
用before she* had* anchored 和 before she anchored, 意思有区别.before she* had* anchored 指抛锚停船这个动作完成之前,强调动抛锚停船这个动作的结果影响,即船稳稳当当的,不漂了,也意味着抛锚时间会长一点,所以人家早上船了.如仅用before she anchored时,只是说明动作的那一刻.
