要联系上下文,光秃秃的一句没法解释的.
Ellen:[She puts Max's teddy bear in his playpen.]There's your teddy bear,Max.He just loves that teddy bear that Grandpa Philip bought for him.
Marilyn:I took him to Philip's office yesterday for a checkup.You should have seen the look on his face when Molly gave him the injection.
Ellen:Oh,did he cry?
Marilyn:No.My dear little boy just looked up at me as if to say,“Mama,what are they doing to me?Help!”
Ellen:How did you feel?Tell the truth.Didn't you feel terrible?
Marilyn:I sure did.I held him closely.I kissed the top of his dear little head.He looked up at me.He tried to smile.【Being with him helped.】
Ellen:Helped him?Or helped you?
Marilyn:Being a mother is not easy,if that's what you mean.
看【】中的部分,时态的变化需要根据事件发生的时间,Marilyn说的事情是过去发生的,所以全部用了过去式.
