In the centre of the hall, there were a number of tall structures which contained coloured lights.
These lights flickered continuously like traffic lights which have gone mad.
这里因为是比喻的缘故,所以跟上下文没有关系吗?
陈老师:
同意曹老师解答观点,灯不停闪烁,是在灯发生故障之间发生,属于过去的过去,应该用过去完成时态。
曹老师:
灯在闪烁,用的是过去时。which had got mad. 之所以用过去完成时,是因为系词get指的是变坏。这个时候是坏的,一闪一闪的,变坏是在这个时候之前发生的,所以要用过去完成时。如果系词不是get,而是be,就用一般过去时了。traffic lights which were mad.
