一、 现在完成时分“已完成”和“未完成”两种用法:
1.“已完成”指的是动作发生在过去,强调其对现在产生的影响.如:
John has broken his left leg. 约翰摔断了左腿.(意思说他现在不能走路了,或者……)
I have seen this film. 我看过这部电影.(意思说我已经知道了电影的内容.)
“已完成”这种用法一般不带时间状语,但可以和already, yet, before, ever, just, now等副词连用.如:
Have you ever been to Qinghai ? 你去过青海吗?
He has never said he is rich. 他从来不说他有钱.
2. “未完成”指的是动作从过去开始,且一直继续到现在.因此不能用表示瞬间性的或称短暂性的动词.“未完成”的现在完成时常与since结构或“for+一段时间”的状语连用.如:
I have lived here since I was born. 我一出身就住在这里.
He has been a League member for three years. 他入团已有三年了.
“未完成”这种用法还常与until now, so far, in/during the past/ last...等连用.如:
I’ve been here for three weeks, and so far I’ve enjoyed it. 我已在这儿逗留了三个星期,到现在为止,我过得挺快活.
In the past ten years many new schools have been built up in our city. 过去十年中我市已兴建了许多新学校.
二、现在完成进行时与现在完成时的“未完成”用法类似.它强调动作的延续,常常译做“一直在……”.其基本用法有三个:
1.现在完成进行时表示从过去开始、现在仍在继续的动作.其时间状语除了since结构和for结构外,还有all this time, this week, this month, all night, all the morning, recently等状语. 如:
I’ve been waiting for an hour and he still hasn’t turned up. 我等了一个小时,可他还没来.
He has been watching TV all the morning and has done nothing. 整个上午他一直在看电视,什么事情都不做.
2. 现在完成进行时还用来表示从过去开始、现在刚刚结束的动作.如:
I’m sorry I’m late. Have you been waiting long? 真对不起,我迟到了.你等了很久了吧?
I’ve been writing letters all this evening and I’ve just finished them. 整个晚上我一直在写信,现在刚刚结束.
3. 现在完成进行时还可以用来表示反复的、连续的动作.如:
I’ve been knocked at the door. I don’t think anybody is in. 我一直在敲门.我想屋里没有人.
She has been telephoned her husband, but there is no answer. 她一直在给她丈夫打电话,但没有人接.
