最难的一个英语时态,你掌握了吗?


Hello, and welcome to today's Grammar Gameshow! I'm your host, Will.

大家好,欢迎来到今天的语法脱口秀!我是主持人 Will。

- But I'm no auxiliary! And, of course, let's not forget Leslie, our all-knowing voice in the sky.

- 但我不是助动词哦!当然,别忘了我们的 Leslie,无所不在的空中声音。

Hello, everyone! Tonight, we're going to ask three questions about. . .

大家好!今晚我们将问三个问题,关于……

The present perfect simple and continuous tenses. Yes, those "past to present" tenses using have plus a past participle!

现在完成时和现在完成进行时。是的,这些表示从过去到现在的时态的使用就是用 “have” 加一个过去分词!

OK! Now, let's meet our contestants! Hi everyone. I'm Mya!

好了,现在有请我们的参赛选手!大家好,我是 Mya!

And contestant number two? Hi, Will. My name's Mike!

二号选手呢?你好,Will,我叫 Mike!

Welcome back Mike. OK! Let's get going.

欢迎回来,Mike。好了,我们开始吧。

And don't forget you can play along at home too. Question one: True or false?

别忘了你们在家也可以一起玩哦。第一题:是非题?

The present perfect continuous has a use that is the same as the present perfect simple. True!

现在完成进行时有个用法,这个用法和现在完成时是一样的。正确!

Leslie? It is true.

Leslie?正确!

Both can be used for an activity which started in the past and continues into the present. Well done. You score two points.

二者都可以用于表示一个活动,始于过去,并且持续到现在。很好,你得两分。

And for a bonus 19 points, can you give us an example? I've been working as an accountant for eight years?

19 分附加题,你能举个例子吗?我已经做会计 8 年了(用现在完成进行时)。

And? I've worked as an accountant for eight years?

然后呢?就是我已经做会计 8 年了(用现在完成时)。

Leslie? Yep. Both correct and with the same meaning.

Leslie?对的,这两个句子都是正确的,而且意思一样。

Well done, Mya. You score six points.

很棒哦,Mya。你得 6 分。

But you said. . . Question Two:

但是你刚刚说……第二题:

As we have just said, the present perfect simple and continuous can have the same use. However, sometimes the present perfect continuous cannot be used but the present perfect simple can.

正如我们刚刚说的,现在完成时和现在完成进行时可以有相同用法。但是,有时现在完成进行时不可以使用,但现在完成时可以。

Why? Trick question! They can always be used the same!

为什么?陷阱题吧!他们通常都是一样的用法!

Leslie? Nope! Sorry!

Leslie?抱歉,错了!

Because of its continuous form, the present perfect continuous cannot usually be used with state verbs. This means you must use the simple form even if you mean continuous.

因为带有进行时的形式,所以现在完成进行时通常不能和表示状态的动词连用。这意味着你必须用现在完成时,即使你所表达的是持续的状态。

Mike, if you can give us an example of some state verbs, you can still score. "Know", "need", "want". . .

Mike,如果你能举个关于一些状态动词的例子,你还是可以得分。“Know”,“need”,“want”……

That'll do nicely! One point for you.

非常好!给你一分。

OK, time for our final question. This one is a picture question.

好了,最后一题。这题是看图题。

Have a look at this picture, and make two sentences with it. One in the present perfect simple, and one in the continuous.

看这幅图,然后用它造两个句子。一个用现在完成时,一个用现在完成进行时。

He's been writing letters for an hour. He's written a number of letters.

他已经写信写了一个小时了(现在完成进行时)。他已经写好多信了(现在完成时)。

Leslie? Absolutely right again.

Leslie?再次完全正确!

The present perfect simple looks at completed actions, and often counts how many or how much, whereas, the present perfect continuous tends to see one action in duration, and cares about how long. Good job. 33 points to you.

现在完成时所描述的是已经完成的动作,并且经常强调多少,然而,现在完成进行时趋向于描述一个持续的动作,通常会强调时间长短。非常棒,给你 33 分。

Well, that brings us to the end of today's Grammar Gameshow. Let's count out the points.

好了,今天的语法脱口秀就要结束了。我们算下分数吧。

And the winner is. . . Mya with 37 and a half. Well done! Here's what you've won.

获胜者是……Mya,获得 37.5 分。很棒!看看你赢得的奖品吧。

It's a toothbrush! That should help you "brush up" on your English.

是一支牙刷!这应该会帮你把英语 “刷上去” 的。

We'll see you again next week, where you can play for an even bigger prize. And Mike?

我们下周见,到时候可以赢取更大的奖品哦。那 Mike 呢?

You got totally destroyed, didn't you? I just wanted to say. . .

你完全崩溃了,是吗?我只想说……

Bring out the venomous snakes. It looks like we'll need another contestant.

放出那条毒蛇。看来我们需要再来一位选手了。
