輕松分辨現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)和一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)
英語中會(huì)使用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)來描述現(xiàn)在正在發(fā)生的事,常用的提示詞有right now,now,today,以及at the moment,讓我們看看下面的例句,來跟這些提示詞混個(gè)眼熟吧。
What are you doing right now?
你現(xiàn)在在做什么?
She's reading in the garden at the moment.
她正在花園里看書。
They're not standing in the rain right now.
他們現(xiàn)在沒淋著雨。
My friends and I are watching a film at the moment.
我正在和朋友看電影。
對(duì)于英語初學(xué)者而言,有個(gè)很容易混淆的概念是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)與現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)的區(qū)別。
一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)用來表述每日發(fā)生的事情,而不是此時(shí)此刻正在發(fā)生的事。通常,一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的句子中會(huì)出現(xiàn)usually,sometimes,often這一類的程度副詞。(關(guān)于程度副詞的知識(shí)可以戳這里了解哦~)
讓我們?cè)僖黄鹂磶讉€(gè)句子,感受一下一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。
I usually drive to work.
我通常開車去上班。
Alice doesn't have to get up early on Saturdays.
周六愛麗絲不用早起。
The boys play soccer on Friday evenings.
每周五晚上,男孩們都會(huì)踢足球。
The teacher often shows us a video in class.
老師經(jīng)常在課上放電影給我們看。
而現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)則表述的是此時(shí)此刻正在發(fā)生的事,同樣的,讓我們看一些例句加深印象。
She's studying hard for her final exam.
她正埋頭復(fù)習(xí)期末考。
What are you cooking for dinner? It smells good!
你在煮什么當(dāng)晚餐?味道聞起來好極了!
They're aren't working right now. They're watching TV.
他們現(xiàn)在沒有在工作,他們?cè)诳措娨暋?/p>
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)還可以用來描述持續(xù)在做的事情以及未來的一段時(shí)間內(nèi)要發(fā)生的事,比如:
We're having leftovers this evening.
今晚我們要吃剩菜剩飯了。
What are you doing tomorrow afternoon?
明天下午你要做什么?
She isn't coming on Friday.
她周五不會(huì)來了。
She's learning the tennis this month.
她這個(gè)月都在學(xué)網(wǎng)球。
在商務(wù)場(chǎng)合中,用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)表示未來的情況更加常見,如:
We're having a meeting at six tomorrow.
我們明早六點(diǎn)要開會(huì)。
I'm flying to Tokyo next week.
我下周要去東京。
The CEO is giving a presentation next week.
下周總裁要做演講。
有一點(diǎn)值得注意的是,狀態(tài)動(dòng)詞不適用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)。
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)只能用于行為動(dòng)詞上。行為動(dòng)詞是描述我們動(dòng)作的動(dòng)詞,狀態(tài)動(dòng)詞是用于描述情感、信念、狀態(tài)等等的動(dòng)詞,如hope,want,like,believe等等。
I hope to see him today. (正)
I am hoping to seeing him today.(誤)
I want some ice cream right now.(正)
I am wanting some ice-cream right now.(誤)
