Ask & Learn聞問切英語口語:to kill me / to have me killed

讀者 Dean 問：Tom 向 Peter 開了一槍，但沒有打中，Peter 報案，對警員說：

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，是指一個結果， 就是要把 Peter 殺死。Tom 大可聘請殺手， 不一定要親自開槍。

第二句He had tried to kill me 的意思很明確，這表示開槍的人一定是 Tom。

不過，第二句和第三句的問題在于 had tried 的時態(tài)。 敘述過去的事，采用 simple past 就可以，不應該用 past perfect tense。
