下面的句子出自人教版高中英语教材Unit 3:
I went snorkelling on the reef offshore this morning and it was the most fantastic thing I have ever done. 这天上午,我戴着呼吸器在近海的珊瑚礁上潜泳,这是我从来没有过的绝妙经历。
问题一:老师说 go snorkeling 的意思是“戴着呼吸器潜泳”,与 go swimming, go skating 等的用法相同。我的希望是:对于这类用法许多书上都有介绍,但举的例子都很俗套,比如:go swimming, go skating, go climbing, go fishing, go shopping, go skiing 等,但像 go snorkeling 这样新颖的例子却很少,求类似一般书上举例很少的新颖例子。
问题二:在 it was the most fantastic thing I have ever done 中,主句用的是一般过去时,但定语从句为什么用了现在完成时呢?为什么不用过去完成时呢?
谢谢老师!

▲I went snorkelling on the reef offshore this morning and it was the most fantastic thing I have ever done. 本句本来是在谈论过去的情况,应该用过去时态(如句中的 went, was),但为什么定语从句I have ever done 用了现在完成时而没有用过去完成时呢?原因很简单,因为是这“至今为止”我做过的最有意思的事。
