had had是「過去完成式」,用在過去發生的兩動作中先發生的那一件,後發生的那一件用「簡單過去式」。
但本句並無兩件過去的事。而ever(曾經)的時間點是截至目前為止,所以用「現在完成式」動詞have ever had。
It was ....用「簡單式過去式」,因為所述是「過去」為真的事實。
如果寫作it is....,be動詞用「簡單現在式」則表示「永遠」為真。不符邏輯,因為以後我無法確知以後不會有更棒的旅行。
It was the most exciting trip ---S+V
(A) correct;that I have ever had----------that as noun clause as complement
Experience:-eg:-I went to a trip
and
have had=have ever had
=have ever had an exciting trip
=have ever had the most exciting trip.
=(with feeling and thought.)
(B) Incorrect:-had had----the past perfect tense=the pluperfect=(grammar) the form of a verb expresses an action completed before a particular point in the past(=had+past participle-----past tense?!)
=eg:-It was the most exciting trip that I had ever had before I died------No past perfect tense mentioned.
eg:-I had had the exciting trip last week before I died today suddenly-------No past perfect tense mentioned also.
這個問題牽涉到發生時間奌且句中用了二個時式:過去式及現在完成式,本句顯然是指過去並持續進行至現在,所以首段是將過去時間指出用was,而持續至現在用have had。
至於為何不能用过去完成式,因為用此時式必須發生事件比过去事件之前,例如I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to this place. 在我未到此處之前,從未看到如此美的海灘,所以用法有所區別
本句若改疹It had been the most exciting trip before I had. (Ok)
