She had had many proposals but preferred to remain single

这句话的意思是 曾经有许多人向她求婚，但都被她拒绝了，她想独身生活

LZ指的语病 是否是 had had 这里。。

这里是过去完成时 had+动词的过去分词

表示过去的过去已完成的动作 （真是LUCKLY 老师昨天刚讲的）

第一个had 为助动词 而第二个had是实意动词

这类用法的还有 When I got home，my mom had had super
（当我回到家的时候，妈妈已经吃完晚饭了）。

[C] suggestion or request, esp from a man to a woman, that the two should marry 求婚（尤指男向女）: She had had many proposals (of marriage) but preferred to remain single. 许多人向她求过婚, 但她愿过独身生活.

觉得应该把had had改成has had。不改的话就是她过去追求者颇多，而那时宁过单身，但现在无人问津了。改了的话，现在也还是有人在追求，但保持单身主义。
