五、现在完成时和现在完成进行时

1.现在完成时的基本用法

(1)现在完成时是一个把过去和现在联系起来的时态。谈的都是已经发生的事,但和现在都有某种关系,就是指从过去某时到现时,某事已完成或已经发生:

I' ve lost my passport.

We' ve bought a new house.

这个时态常和 just、already、yet 这类词连用,表示刚发生的事:

I've just had my lunch.

She hasn't received your letter yet .

(2)有时表示从过去到现在这一段时间内发生的事:

I' ve been there twice this year.

That's the most interesting book I' ve ever read .

(3)有时还表示持续到现在的状态:

The storm has lasted for three hours.

She' s always felt that films should be educational.

2.和现在完成时连用的时间状语

(1)在日常口语中,使用现在完成时常不需要时间状语:

George has won !

Have you heard from her?

(2)但在不少情况下也可使用状语。最常见的有下面几类:

① 表示时间程度的状语:

I've often heard her sing this song.

I've always wondered why they were so cruel to animals.

② 表示由过去到现在这段时间的状语:

In the past two years I've seen him little.

For some time past I've suffered from high blood pressure.

③ just、already、yet 这类状语:

I've just sent a fax to them.

Have you passed the driving test yet ?

④ 由 for、since引起的状语:

They have been married for ten years.

Tom hasn't been home since he was a boy.

3.现在完成时和一般过去时的比较

(1)这两个时态虽然都表示过去发生的事,但说话的目的不一样:

用现在完成时往往是为说明现在情况,过去与现在的关系,表示从过去开始,至今已完成,而用过去时只是单纯谈论过去的动作或状况本身。

I' ve chosen some CDs for the party.

I chose some novels and bought them.

I' ve got no news from him.

I got the news from Jim.

(2)yesterday、last year、at that time、in 1989、when等表示较确切的某点时间一概不能用现在完成时。反之,有表示前一段时间的则可用现在完成时:

Tom has been busy recently.

Tom was busy last week.

I' ve just been here for ten minutes.

I was there a minute ago.

(3)有时并没有时间状语,但具体情况也会影响时态的使用:

Somebody has spilt coffee on the carpet.

Well, it wasn't me.I didn't do it

Your hair looks nice. Have you had a haircut?

Who cut it? Did you go to the hairdresser?

No, a friend of mine did it for me.

(4)有时一句话表明了总的情况,其后面句子的时态都受它制约:

I' ve had a bad day.So far, I' ve brought several customers the wrong food.I' ve broken a lot of dishes, and no one has left me tips! 我今天很不顺利,到现在为止,我已给几位顾客上错了菜,我打破了好些盘子,没人给过我小费!

(5)有时同样一句话随着说话的意图不同,可以用不同时态:

I' ve lost my key.(I'm still looking for it.)

I lost my key.(Later I found it.)

(6)有关现在完成时的几个问题:

① have gone (to) 与 have been (to) 的差别:

have gone (to) 表示“到某地去了”,因此人还在那里:

He has gone abroad to continue his studies.

而 have been (to) 表示“到过某处”,人并不在那里:

She has been to Europe twice.

② 在 since 引起的从句中的时态:

a.在 since 引起的从句中通常用一般过去时,而主句中的动词一般都用现在完成时:

We have lived in England since I was a child.

I have had a baby since I saw you last.

b.当主句表示“有多少时间”时,动词可用一般现在时:

It's just a week since we arrived here.

c.在从句中有时可用现在完成时,特别是当动词为 be 时:

It's some time since I have spoken to you about this matter.

③ 在时间或条件从句中可用现在完成时代替将来完成时:

I'll write him when I have finished the book.

After we have finished tea, we will sit on the grass.

④ 在使用 this morning、this afternoon、this season (summer)这类状语时的情况:

在使用上述时间状语时要注意,如果说话时间仍在这个范围,则可用现在完成时,否则要用一般过去时:

We have visited a lot of places this summer.

We visited a lot of places this summer.

⑤ 和 time 连用的情况:在表示“第……次做某事”时常使用现在完成时:

It's the first time she has driven a car.

It's the second time this has happened .

⑥ have got 的特殊用法:

a.have got 在形式上是现在完成时,有时却和 have 意思相同,表示“有”:

How many brothers have you got ?

I haven't got a thermometer.

have got to 表示“不得不”,意思和 have to 相同:

I' ve got to be off now.

The child has got to have an operation.

b.在口语中 have 有时省略:

We got to make ends meet.

4.现在完成进行时的用法

(1)现在完成进行时表示一个由过去某时起一直持续的动作,这动作可能刚刚停止,也可能还在进行:

The ground is wet.It has been raining .

You're out of breath. Have you been running ?

(2)用这个时态时常常有一个表示现在之前这一段时间的状语:

She' s been playing tennis since she was eight.

He' s been smoking too much recently.

(3)这个时态常和 how long 或 long、all 一起用:

How long has it been raining?

All night long this has been going on.

(4)有时表示在持续的一段时间中动作的多次重复(而动作不一定在持续):

We' ve all along been making mistakes like this.

They have been meeting together weekly now for two years.

在不少情况下这动作和现在的状况有联系:

The room stinks.Someone' s been smoking in here.

She's very tired.She' s been typing letters all day.

5.现在完成时和现在完成进行时的比较

(1)这两个时态总的说来是不同的。现在完成时常常表示动作业已完成,而现在完成进行时却并不如此:

I' ve read a book. (动作已完成。)

I' ve been reading a book. (书不一定看完。)

She has painted her room. (已漆完。)

She has been painting her room. (可能还没漆完。)

(2)另外,有些静态动词只能用于现在完成时,一般不能用于完成进行时,例如下面句子就不宜改用进行时:

I' ve known him for many years.

The war has lasted for a long time.

(3)在强调动作持续时间的长度时,特别是有long、how long这类状语时,常用完成进行时:

We've long been making preparations for it.

All these years we've been trying to get in touch with you. 3PslPwGEwfC6laBhP3g7E7/0pp0EOaQ7D5aSGf0VexmNuSZx4S6hNLUtG5LBw67J
