中學(xué)英語書面表達(dá)系列講座與訓(xùn)練(18)-3(共4部分) ★Since 和 for 用于現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài)有講究! 請看句子并幫助修改那些用錯(cuò)的句子: Group 1.他病了兩天了。 A) He has been ill since two days. B) He has been ill for two days. 此組句子中, A)句是不對(duì)的 。因?yàn)閟ince后不能接 “一段時(shí)間”的時(shí)間狀語。但可接“點(diǎn)時(shí)間”如:she has worked here since 1999.此句除了可改為for two days外,還可改為in the past two days.意思不變。Since 用于簡單句時(shí),句子謂語動(dòng)詞用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),since用于復(fù)合句時(shí),主句謂語動(dòng)詞用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),since引導(dǎo)的從句謂語動(dòng)詞用一般過去時(shí)。如:My aunt has worked in a hospital of traditional Chinese medicine since 2000. 自2000以來,我嬸嬸一直在一家中醫(yī)院工作。 He has written to me frequently since I was ill.自從我生病以來,他時(shí)常給我寫信。Since后除了接“點(diǎn)”時(shí)間外,還可接~ago和從句。如:Maria has been in China since two years ago.兩年來,瑪麗一直在北京。 We haven't met her since she left. 自打她走后,我們就再也沒見過她了。It is two years since I saw him last. 自從上次見到他以來,已經(jīng)有兩年之久了。由此可見since是使用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài)的典型信號(hào)詞之一。 Group2.他已經(jīng)去世三年了。 A) He has died for three years. B) He died three years ago. C) He has been dead for three years. D) It is three years since he died. 此組句子中,A)句是不對(duì)的。原因是die 所表示的動(dòng)作不可延續(xù),die等動(dòng)詞的這種不可延續(xù)性,語法學(xué)家們賦予了它一個(gè)稱謂:非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞(結(jié)束性、終止性)動(dòng)詞。【相對(duì)應(yīng)的是“延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞”】,非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞(結(jié)束性、終止性)動(dòng)詞的肯定形式不能與表示一段時(shí)間的for短語連用。又如:He has left here for a few months(×).應(yīng)改為:He has been away from here for a few months. (他離開這兒已有幾個(gè)月了。) 但可與非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞(結(jié)束性、終止性)動(dòng)詞的否定形式連用,因?yàn)榉茄永m(xù)性動(dòng)詞(結(jié)束性、終止性)動(dòng)詞的否定形式表示的是個(gè)可延續(xù)的狀態(tài)。如:I haven't seen you for a long time. (我好久沒見到你了。沒見到的狀態(tài)可延續(xù)), for也是常與現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)連用的信號(hào)詞之一。 ★★注意:For… 根據(jù)語境的不同,可以與不同的時(shí)態(tài)連用: 如:Tom lived in Chicago for ten years.湯姆在芝加哥住了十年。(十年的起止時(shí)間都在過去);Tom will live in Chicago for another five years. 湯姆將再在芝加哥住五年。 (未完待續(xù)) |
