unopened 是形容词，不能用作动词。表示“没有打开某物”时，需要用助动词 did 加 not 加动词原形 open，即 didn't open；若想保留 unopened，应使用 keep/leave it unopened 的结构。
The letter was unsealed, so I knew it had never been read.The letter was unopened, so I knew it had never been read.
unsealed 表示“未密封的”或“封口被启封的”，并不等于“未曾被打开的”；unopened 才表示“未被打开、未启封的”。这里要表达信没有被打开过，应该用 unopened。
