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。

假如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，即便后来事情揭秘，也不会有人了解他们的真实身份。

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

是不是应该改成even though the facts become public no one would know. ? - 这是对以后的虚拟吧！

为何原文用了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 以后完成时的虚拟呢？

我非常困惑，麻烦老师解析这里的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从句对你说一个与过去事实相反的假设: 如果当时我意识到她会把事情和盘托出...，这了解对你说实质我没意识到这一点，事实上她已经把事情和盘托出了，有关职员的名字也让人了解了。假如你读这句话理解不到这一点，你就应该好好检讨我们的阅读能力了。正由于目前大伙了解了有关人的真实名字，我才懊悔当初没把人名改一下。所以，最后的no one would have known 没人会了解人名是与过去事实相反的，而不是与以后事实相反。
