虚拟语气 would have done 有几个含义呢？

If I had realised that she would repeat the story that I had told her confidentially, I should have changed the names of the people who

were involved so that even though the facts become public no one would have known.

章振邦高级英语语法482页。

如果当时我料到她会把我私下告诉她的事情和盘托出，我当时就会把有关人等的名字改掉，即使后来事情曝光，也不会有人知道他们的真实身份。

我的困惑：even though the facts become public no one would have known. -

是否应该改成even though the facts become public no one would know. ? - 这是对将来的虚拟吧！

为什么原文使用了no one would have known. 呢？这是对过去的虚拟吗？还是这里的would have known也可以其实是will have done 将来完成时的虚拟呢？

我很困惑，麻烦老师详解这里的would have known...谢谢！

我批评过你多次了，读英文不注意句子表达的逻辑，不注意全句，只看局部。

这个句子的开头就用虚拟if从句告诉你一个与过去事实相反的假设: 要是当时我意识到她会把事情和盘托出...，这清楚告诉你实际我没有意识到这一点，实际上她已经把事情和盘托出了，有关人员的姓名也被人知道了。如果你读这句话理解不到这一点，你就应该好好反省自己的阅读能力了。正因为现在大家知道了有关人的真实姓名，我才懊悔当初没有把人名改一下。所以，最后的no one would have known 没人会知道人名是与过去事实相反的，而不是与将来事实相反。

事情曝光已成为过去的事实，所以我觉的这句话应该是：even though the facts had became public no one would have known.即“主从句都虚拟”。

但是根据句意，从句也可以不虚拟而只有主句虚拟，所以从句用了become，而主句用了would have done，表达的意思是“即便现在事情曝光，过去也不会有人知道”。

个人看法，仅供参考，如果有错误，还希望能批评指正。
