The Lion King (013)
上期我们留了个问题，为什么"He had had enough" 有两个had?
一周过去了，不知道你有没有弄清楚呢？
其实这是语法，had done 是过去完成时，指的是过去之前就已经完成的状态（不包含过去）。第一个had是助动词，配合后面的动词（以过去分词的模样出现）构成过去完成时。需要说明的是，第一个had没有实际含义；第二个had则有实际含义，表示拥有。
过去完成时
He had had enough意思是在过去之前，他就已经受够了。比如说你昨天说喜欢我，但是在你昨天说这话之前，你心里就已经喜欢我了。所以应该怎么说来着？
You had liked me.
简单吧！语法是为表达服务，而非相反。语法有它的内在道理，它一定不是清规戒律，也一定不会难，否则怎么使用这门语言呢？还是通用语!
对语法的恐惧，其实是被教出来的。你可以考虑借助一个唾手可得的工具线条来帮助理解，你会有意想不到的收获。
本文正式开始。
Mufasa's hackles rose and a growl began at the back of his throat. But before he could snap, Zazu flew in between them. “A wise decision! ” he said to Scar. “You are no match for His Royalness! ”
木法沙鬃毛倒竖并发出咆哮。然而在他牙齿咔哒闭合之前，沙祖飞到他们之间。“聪明的选择！” 沙祖冲刀疤说道。“你不是陛下的对手！”
Scar shrugged. “Well, as far as brains go, I've got the lion's share. But when it comes to brute strength, I'm afraid my big brother will always rule.”
刀疤耸了耸肩。“是啊！对于大脑，我继承了狮子的传承。若是要论蛮力的话，恐怕我的兄长将一直统治这个王国。”
“Not always, ” Mufasa said, correcting him. “One day it will be my son who rules. Simba will be your king.”
不会永远！木法沙纠正道。“终会有一天，我儿子会掌管这个国家，辛巴将会成为你的国王。”
“Then long live the king, ” Scar said. Turning back toward his den, he slunk away, disappearing into the darkness.
“那时国王就万岁了，” 刀疤说道。他转过身就溜走了，消失在黑暗之中。
Watching him go, Mufasa let out a sigh. That was not how he had wanted things to go. True, he had been angry that Scar had skipped the ceremony, but a piece of him—however small—had hoped that maybe there had been a good reason. That perhaps with a new generation born, they could put aside their past. But clearly that was not going to happen.
看着他离开，木法沙叹了口气，那并不是他想要的。确实，木法沙对于刀疤跳过盛大典礼感到生气。也许随着新一代的出生，他们可以放下他们的过去。但显然这并不会发生。
