5四种完成进行时态、时态复习与被动语态

LESSON FIVE

四种完成进行时态与时态复习与被动语态

导言

在学习了进行时态和完成时态之后，我们就很容易理解

完成进行时态。它既有完成时的态─过去发生的动作一直持

续到说话时的含义，又有进行态─--给人以生动的画面感，

使语气更强的意义。也就是说它们是完成与进行两种“态”

的结合。

▲ 完成进行时态的构成

现在完成进行时

态

过去完成进行时

态

将来完成进行时

态

过去将来完成进行时

态

have (has) been doing

had been doing

will have been doing

would have been doing

在学习完成时态时，我们已经了解完成时态有两种用法。

1、 过去的动作对说话时产生的影响。

2、 过去发生的动作一直持续到说话时。

完成进行时态只具备完成时态的第2种用法，即过去发生的动

作一直持续到说话时，并加入进行时给人的画面感，使语气更强。

下面通过完成进行时态与完成时态的比较加以说明。

▲ 现在完成进行时态

● My teacher has been working on that subject the last two

years.

● My teacher has worked on that subject the last two years.

这两年我的老师一直在研究那个课题。

第一句与第二句除了在持续性上相同外，还多了一种画面感，

好像能够看到那位老师埋头工作的情景，所以语气更强。但用汉语

很难译出两个句子的区别。

● I have been waiting for you.

● I have waited for you.

第一句给人的感觉比第二句更亲切，好像能够看到说话人等待

的样子。

▲ 过去完成进行时态

● He was tired. He had been working all day.

● He was tired. He had worked all day.

他累了。他一整天。

第一句由于有进行时态的画面感，给人的感觉要比第二句给人

的感觉更“辛苦”些。

▲ 将来完成进行时态

● Mr. Smith will have been living in China for exactly twenty

years in another month’s time.

● Mr. Smith will have lived in China for twenty years in another

month’s time.

再过一个月，史密斯先生在中国就整整住了二十年了。

第一句语气要比第二句强，更能给人一种史密斯在中国住了很

长时间的感觉。

46

▲ 过去将来完成进行时态

● He said that by the end of this year he would have been

studying English for three years.

● He said that by the end of this year he had studied English for

three years.

注：第一句想要给对方一种他学了很长时间英语的感觉。第二

句则比较平淡。

被动语态

被动语态是动词的一种形式，只有主谓宾句型才有被动语态，

它所强调的，不是动作的发出者，而是动作的接受者，在掌握了时

态以后，学习被动语态并不难，重要的是牢记被动语态的动词形式，

我们在后面为大家列的表格，请大家熟记。

● The policeman arrested the thief.

The thief was arrested (by the policeman).

注：如果没有必要强调动作的发出者，我们可以把by the

policeman省略。

● The teacher can translate this ntence in different ways.

This ntence can be translated in different ways.

重要提示

时态是英语中非常复杂的概念，必须通过长期的阅读和在实际

会话中细心体会。我们通过下面的表，试图让同学们抓住时态中最

主要的用法和规律。英语时态是“时”与“态”的结合，即四

种时间概念+四种不同的情态（实际上只有两种情态，进行态和完成

态，一般时不含情态，完成进行态是完成态与进行态的结合。）如

果从这样一个角度去理解，把下表竖列的时间+横行的情态，就能够

比较容易掌握16种时态。希望在练习时，细心体会，多问为什么。

（附时态表两张，以帮助同学们复习。请见本书后的附录1.附录2.）

Four Words

Heather and Marcy met for lunch. After a while, they started talking

about their love lives. Marcy said that there wasn’t anyone special in her life.

Heather, on the other hand, was smiling happily about the new man in hers.

“He’s perfect（好极了）,” she said. “Last night, just as we were about to

leave the restaurant, he said the four little words I’ve been waiting to hear a

man say.”

“Let me guess（猜）,” said Marcy. “He said, ‘Will you marry me?’”

“No,” replied Heather. “He said, ’Put your money away.”（把你的钱收起

来）

A New Employee（雇员）

Several（几个） weeks after a young man had been hired（雇佣）, he was

called into the personnel director’s（人事主任） office.

“What is the meaning of this?” the director asked. “When you applied for

（申请） the job, you told us you had five years’ experience（经验）. Now we

discover this is the first job you ever help.

“Well,” the young man said, “in your advertiment you said you wanted

somebody with imagination.”（想象力）

Jack club

Oh Dear!（昂贵的，亲爱的）

In a gift shop one day I was attracted to two identical（完全相同的）

wooden deer. I picked up one to check the price. It was $34.90. Out of

curiosity（好奇）, I looked at the price on the other. It was $54.90. I

couldn’t resist a saving of $20, so I bought the $34.90 deer. Feeling

plead with mylf, but somewhat guilty as I left the shop, I heard one

salesgirl say to the other, “It never fails.”

My Wife Had A Baby

At the entrance（入口）to a big office in London there was a book

which all employees（雇员）had to sign when they arrived each morning.

At nine o’clock, the manager’s cretary, who lived in a small flat above

the office, had to draw a red line under the last name in the book, and

anyone who came after that had to explain why he was late.

Whenever there was a thick fog in the city, the first person to arrive

late usually wrote ‘Delayed by fog’ under the red line in the book, and

then everybody el who came after that just put ‘ditto’（同上）

underneath（在下面）.

But one foggy morning, the first man to arrive late wrote ‘My wife

had a baby early this morning’ instead of ‘Delayed by fog’ under the red

line in the book. Twenty or thirty people who came after him put ‘ditto’

underneath this as usual.

九、 用动词的适当时态填空

Caught Between Two Cultures

I was born and 1 ( rai ) in Hong Kong. For the past six years I 2

(live) in the United States. I 3 (work) as a salesgirl in a large

61

department store. Right now I 4 (go) through a difficult period of my

life which 5 (be) hard for me to talk about.

A few months ago I 6 (go) to Hong Kong for a visit. It 7 (be)

the first time I’d gone back there since coming to the United States. I 8

(be) eager to e my parents, my brothers and sisters, and my friends.

I really 9 (get) a shock when I 10 (arrive). Hong Kong

11 (be) not the same city I 12 (leave) six years ago. Things 13

(change) so much that I 14 (not recognize) parts of it. My elementary

school 15 (be)gone. The hou on the street where I 16

(u) to live 17 (tear down) and replaced by office buildings.

The shock from the physical changes in the city, however, 18 (be)

nothing compared to the confusion and hurt I soon 19 (begin) to feel

in my parents’ home. My family 20 (greet) me warmly when I

21 (arrive). While my mother 22 (prepare) a special dinner in my

honor, the rest of the family eagerly 23 (ask) me questions about my

life in the United States. I 24 (feel) happy that day and for a couple

of days after, but then I 25 (begin) to feel that something 26 (be)

wrong. I 27 (notice) that my family, especially my mother,

sometimes 28 (glance) at me in a strange way when I 29 (speak).

They gradually 30 (become) less warm and friendly toward me, and

I 31 (become) uncomfortable and 32 (confu) as to why they

33 (behave) that way.

I 34 (decide) to talk to my mother. She 35 (ask) me, “ 36 you

37 (forget) your Chine way?” I 38 (ask) her what she 39

(mean). She 40 (say), “You 41 (forget) the place of a woman in a

Chine home. You 42 (talk) when you 43 (remain) silent. You

44 (speak) on matters that 45 (be) concerned only to the men. You

46 (speak) openly of your inner feelings and desires. That 47 (be)

not the way of a Chine woman. We 48 (keep) our thoughts and

feelings to ourlves.”

As my mother spoke, I 49 (realize) what 50 (happen) to me.

Americans, including American women, 51 (be) much freer in

expressing their thoughts and feelings. Also American women 52

(feel) as free as the men to speak or give an opinion about any subject.

They 53 (not take) a silent back at during a discussion. I 54

62

(guess) that through my association with Americans during the past six

years, I 55 (gradually adopt) some of their ways.

During the next few days I 56 (try) to be a Chine woman. But it

57 (not work). My family 58 (remain) distant from me. They 59

(can no longer accept) me fully as one of them. I 60 (become) more

uncomfortable and hurt as things were said and done that 61 (make)

me feel that I 62 (be) an outsider, a stranger in my own country.

I 63 (cut) my visit short by three weeks and 64 (come) back to

the United States. But coming back here 65 (not lesn) the

confusion and pain. In fact, I 66 (feel) more confud than before. I

now 67 (feel) homeless. I 68 (not feel) like an American.

Americans 69 (not accept) me. The women I 70 (work) with at

the store are polite enough, but they 71 (not try) to get clo to me or

let me get clo to them. During the morning coffee break they 72

(make) plans to have lunch together and go shopping. On Fridays they

73 (talk) about the disco place they 74 (go) to that night. They

never 75 (include) me in their plans. My appearance, my name, and

my oriental features 76 (mark) me as a foreigner. I 77 (feel) for a

long time that I 78 (not accept) by Americans, but I 79 (feel) that

I 80 (be) Chine and that my home 81 (be) Hong Kong. Now I

no longer 82 (consider) Hong Kong as my home. And so I 83

(feel) homeless. I 84 (catch) between the old world where I no longer

85 (belong) and the new world which 86 (not yet accept) me.
