《小王子》第八章一段话中的时态的问题

10 《小王子》第八章一段话中的时态的问题

原文：I soon learned to know this flower better. On the little prince's planet the flowers had always been very simple. They had only one ring of petals; they took up no room at all; they were a trouble to nobody. One morning they would appear in the grass, and by night they would have faded peacefully away. But one day, from a seed blown from no one knew where, a new flower had come up; and the little prince had watched very closely over this small sprout which was not like any other small sprouts on his planet. It might, you see, have been a new kind of baobab.

我的疑问1：我认为这一段：But one day, from a seed blown from no one knew where, a new flower had come up; and the little prince had watched very closely over this small sprout which was not like any other small sprouts on his planet. 这里的过去完成时都可以直接换成过去时就可以了。为什么这里还要过去完成时呢？在这一段话之前又有they took up no room at all; they were a trouble to nobody。这样的过去式。

一会儿一个过去完成时一会儿过去时再过一会儿又是过去完成时，我理解不了。

我的疑问2：from a seed blown from no one knew where=from a seed blown from where no one knew对吗？为什么这里不是过去完成时？

I soon learned to know this flower better. 这句话中的soon表示前面提及的一个过去时间后不久的一个确切过去时间，说话人的思绪（即关注的时间）就是此时，learned表示学会了这个动作发生在这个时间。 On the little prince's planet the flowers had always been very simple. 这个过去完成时表示从更早的过去一直持续到 I learned 的这个过去时间的长期状态。They had only one ring of petals; they took up no room at all; they were a trouble to nobody. 这三个句子表示的是在 I learned的这个过去时间存在着的状态或习惯，所以用一般过去时。One morning they would appear in the grass, and by night they would have faded peacefully away. 这二个句子用情态动词would表示过去习惯，would为推测意义。第二句由于by night这个时间状语表示动作发生在by表示的时间之前，所以would后的不定式用了完成体。But one day, from a seed blown from no one knew where, a new flower had come up; and the little prince had watched very closely over this small sprout which was not like any other small sprouts on his planet.这二个句子叙述 I learned这个过去时间之前的某一天发生的事件，为过去的过去，所以用过去完成时。which定语从句was not like是当时的长期状态，所以用一般过去时。 It might, you see, have been a new kind of baobab. might have been 表示说话人现在对过去的情况的推测。

from a seed blown from no one knew where 不可以像你那样改动。no one knew 和 I learned 是同一个时间，为什么要用过去完成时呢？no one knew where 是口语体，一个省略的原位问句被用作一个名词。意思等于 an un-known place.

这位网友我想说你一句：看了你很多问题，好像你的问题大多比较复杂，你不仅很少有鲜花，好像连举手之劳的点赞都很少有，比如目前这个问题，你既然在上面留言了，说明你读过曹老师的解答了，但到目前为止，问题的点赞数仍然为0，是你对曹老师的解答不满意吗？？？？？？？？？？？？亏得曹老师每次都帮你详详细细地解答！！！！！！！！！
