问题描述：
she was a famous actress when i was still at school.
新概念课文的一段话,为什么不是“she had been a famous actress when i was still at school.”
不是过去完成式吗?
答
she was a famous actress when i was still at school.她在我念书的时候是个有名的女演员。（现在不是了）
“she had been a famous actress when i was still at school。她从我还在念书的时候就是一个有名的女演员了（现在还有名）
答
一般过去时的那句,翻译成“在我还在学校时,她曾是一名著名演员”,而后者过去完成时翻译成“在我还在学校时,她一直是一名著名演员”.
它们表示的意思不一样,在不同场合不同意思用不用的句子.
（如果有疑问,请追问进行讨论）
