7.33 过去进行时的基本用法

过去进行时表示过去某一时间正在进行的动作。过去进行时过去一般时一样,也常和表过去的时间状语连用。如:

(1)I was practising the violin at eight o'clock yesterday evening. 昨晚八点钟我在练小提琴来着。

(2)When I called him, he was having dinner. 我给他打电话的时候,他正在吃晚饭。

如果时间状语是一时段,过去进行时所表的动作则须贯穿整段或大部分时间。如:

(3)They were expecting you yesterday. 他们昨天一直在等你。

(4)While we were having breakfast, John was talking on the phone. 我们在吃早饭的时候,约翰在打电话。

过去进行时可用来打开话头,这种过去进行时也多与时间状语连用。如:

(5)We were talking about you this morning. Your book is terrible. 我们今天早上谈论你来着。你写的书糟透了。

(6)Miss Smith was praising you today, John. 今天史密斯小姐夸你来着,约翰。

过去进行时表过去时还有以下一些情况。

1)时间状语的省略。当上下文清楚时,可省去时间状语。如:

(7)Oh, I was talking to myself. 噢,我是在自言自语。(指刚才)

(8)We reached the lake just as the sun was rising above it. 我们抵达湖边时,太阳刚刚升起。(时间由上下文决定)

这种过去进行时所表的动作发生的时间有时不很确定,但一般不会离现在很远。如:

(9)I was talking with Tom and he said he was all for it. 我和汤姆谈来着,他说他完全赞成。

(10)-Did you hear the news? 你听到那个消息了吗?

-Yes, I was reading about it in the newspaper. 是的,我是从报纸上看到的。

这种时间不确定的过去进行时用于某些心理活动的动词时可表委婉客气。如:

(11)I was wondering if I must ask you one more question. 我不知道我是不是还须要再向你提一个问题。

(12)I was thinking it might be a good idea to keep the window open. 我看还是把窗户开着的好。

2)与时间状语连用。过去进行时可与soon,the next moment,in minutes,minutes later等时间状语连用,表示一个新的动作刚刚开始,颇有点像转换镜头似的。如:

(13)Soon the whole town was talking about it. 不久镇上的人就都谈论起这件事了。

(14)Ten minutes later he was standing at the window, smoking. 十分钟后,他已站在窗前,抽着烟。

有时亦可不用时间状语。如:

(15)The man sat down, and the judge was calling another name and another man was rising to his feet. 那个人坐下来,法官接着叫下一个名字,于是另一个人站了起来。

3)表原因。过去进行时可用来申述原因或用作借口,这种用法常用在口语中。如:

(16)She went to her doctor yesterday. She was having a lot of trouble with her skin. 她昨天去看病了。她患了很麻烦的皮肤病。

(17)-Have you finished your homework, Mary? 你的作业做完了吗,玛丽?

-No, I was helping my mother in the kitchen all day yesterday. 没有,我昨天一整天都帮妈妈干厨房活来着。

4)表背景。过去进行时可用来为一个或一系列动作的发生提供背景。如:

(18)It was snowing as the medical team made its way to the front. 医疗队奔赴前线时,天正下着雪。

(19)The procession was going. He was standing amidst the crowd looking on. Suddenly a thundering explosion was heard. A turmoil followed. 队伍在前进。他站在人群中观看。突然间爆发出一声巨响。街上乱成一片。

下面例句中的过去进行时亦表背景,但这种过去进行时常用在主句中,后接的when从句中的谓语动词常用过去一般时,表意外之事。如:

(20)I was leaving the office when the telephone rang. 我正要离开办公室,电话铃响了。

(21)He was crossing the street when he was hit by a bike. 他横过马路时被自行车撞了。

5)表愿望。过去进行时有时可表过去未实现的愿望或打算,助动词was须重读。如:

(22)I was coming. 我本要来的

(23)I was reading a paper yesterday. 我昨天本要读论文的。(was须重读,否则会误会为真事)

(24)Oh dear! I was writing him a letter this morning and forgot all about it. 哎呀!我本打算今天上午给他写信来着,后来就全给忘了。

7.34 过去进行时表其它时间

过去进行时除表过去时间外,还可表过去的过去、过去的将来和现在的将来。如:

将来进行时的基本用法是表示在将来某一时间正在进行的动作。这个时态一般不表意愿,常表已安排好之事,给人一种期待之感。它一般只表离现在较近的将来,与表将来时间状语连用。如:

(7)I'll be seeing Mr. Smith tomorrow. 我明天将见到史密斯先生。

(8)-Would it be any trouble for you to post this letter? 给我邮寄一下这封信对你方便吗?

-No, not at all. I shall be going out presently. 方便,很方便。我反正就要出去。

有时这种时态含有一种附带的意思,语气较为委婉。如:

(9)Will you be seeing Mary this evening? 你今晚会见到玛丽吗?(附带的意思可能是:如果你今晚看到她的话,那就请你捎个信儿给她好吗?)

(10)I'll be finishing it . 我一会儿就完了。(附带的含义可能是:过一会儿你就会拿到它了)

2)表原因、结果和可能。如:

(19)I suppose you will be leaving soon. 我估计你快走了吧。(表可能,用于suppose之后)

3)表委婉。如:

(20)Will you be needing anything else? 你还需要什么吗?

(21)If you will be wanting anything, just let me know. 你如需要什么,尽管告诉我。

4)与将来一般时连用,表稍靠后的安排。如:

(22)My duties will end in July and I will be returning to Arizona in the US. 我的工作七月结束,之后我将回到美国亚利桑那州。

(23)My brother'll have to take care of you. I'll call him today and he'll be expecting you. 我的兄弟一定会关照你的。我今天先给他打个电话,然后他就会等你去。

[注]在下面的句子中,will是情态动词,意谓"大概"或"一定",不表将要而表现在,常与now连用。如:

①They'll be watching television now. 他们现在大概在看电视呢。

②It's six o'clock. He won't be working now. 现在六点。他不会在工作。

7.40 现在完成进行时的基本用法

现在完成进行时表示动作从过去某一时间开始一直延续到现在或离现在不远的时间。其动作是否继续下去,则由上下文而定。这个时态多用于无限动词,如:live,learn,lie,stay,sit,wait,stand,rest,study等,并常和al this time,this week,this month,all night,all the morning,recently等状语以及since(自从)和for(经历)所引导的状语短语或从句连用(since和for连用时,动作常会继续下去)。如:

(4)I've been puzzling ever since I set eyes on you where I saw you before. 自从我以前在那个地方看见你之后,我一直在纳闷儿。(动作可能还在继续)

现在完成进行时和一切进行时态一样,往往含有一种临时性。如:

有时现在完成进行时仅仅比较口语化。如:

(6)My mother has been teaching English for twenty years. 我的母亲教授英语已20年了。

使用现在完成进行时还有以下一些情况。

1)表重复。有时现在完成进行时所表的动作并不是一直在不停地进行,而是在断断续续地重复。这时现在完成进行时即可用于非无限动词。如:

(7)I have been bidding goodbye to some places today. 我今天到几个地方告别了。

(8)He's been scoring plenty of goals this season. 在这个足球季节里,他踢进了许多球。

(12)You've been working too hard. 你的工作太辛苦了。(直接结果可能是:你一定很累了)

(13)Who's been insulting you? 谁欺侮你了?(对方可能在哭)

(14)We have been cleaning the classroom. 我们打扫教室来着。(刚打扫过,直接结果可能是:我们身上有灰。如用现在完成时have cleaned则不一定是刚才打扫的,也可能是昨天打扫的,其结果是:教室很清洁,可以用了)

有时说话人道出了直接结果。如:

(15)My hands are dirty. I've been painting the door. 我的手脏,我在漆门来着。

(16)What have you been eating to get as fat as this. 你吃什么啦,怎么这么胖?

4)在当代英语中,可用否定结构。如:

(17)Since that unfortunate accident last week, I haven't been sleeping at all well. 自从上周发生了那次不幸事故之后,我一直睡得很不好。

(18)He hasn't been working for me and I haven't has that much contact with him. 他并没有给我工作过,我和他没有过那许多接触。
