Ask & Learn聞問(wèn)切英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ):to kill me / to have me killed
讀者 Dean 問(wèn):Tom 向 Peter 開(kāi)了一槍,但沒(méi)有打中,Peter 報(bào)案,對(duì)警員說(shuō):
1. "He tried to have me killed," says Peter.
2. "He had tried to kill me," says Peter.
3. "He had tried to have me killed," says Peter.
以上三句哪句正確?
第一句He tried to have me killed 里的 have me killed,是指一個(gè)結(jié)果, 就是要把 Peter 殺死。Tom 大可聘請(qǐng)殺手, 不一定要親自開(kāi)槍。
第二句He had tried to kill me 的意思很明確,這表示開(kāi)槍的人一定是 Tom。
不過(guò),第二句和第三句的問(wèn)題在于 had tried 的時(shí)態(tài)。 敘述過(guò)去的事,采用 simple past 就可以,不應(yīng)該用 past perfect tense。
