英语的时态
定义 动词以一定的词形变化形式来表达事物之动作或状态的时间性者称为时态(Tense)。
词形变化的形式共有如下四种: 1.一般式(Simple Form) 2.进行式(Progressive Form) 3.完成式(Perfect Form)
4.完成进行式(Perfect Progressive Form) 动作或状态的时间性则可分为如下三个时段: 1.现在(Present) 2.过去(Past) 3.将来(Future)
这四种词形形式和三个时段可以配合成如下的十二种动词的时态。
4 / 8
这十二种时态可以列表如下:
现以“I”为主语,“do”为动词,把这十二种时态以实例表达如下:(例序即为时态的次序)
1.I do it every day. (我每天做这样的事。) 2.I did it yesterday. (昨天我做了这件事。) 3.I shall/will do it tomorrow. (明天我要做这件事。) 4.I am doing it now. (现在我正在做这件事。) 5.I was doing it at that time. (当时我正在做这件事。)
6.I shall/will be doing it at 9:00 tomorrow morning. (明天早晨九时我会正在做这件事。) 7.I have done it already. (我已把这件事做好了。)
8.I have done it before I went home yesterday. (昨天我在回家之前就把那件工作做完了。) (明天在我回来之前我会把这件工作做好。) 0.I have been doing it for two days.
5 / 8
(这件工作我已做了两天了。──说话时工作尚未做完,所以还得继续做。)
1.I had been doing the work for two hours when the teacher came. (老师来时那件工作我已做了两小时了。──当时工作尚未完成,所以老师来了我还继续在做。)
(明天早上九时你来看我时,我会在做那件工作做了一小时。──当然尚未能做完,还得继续做下去。)
英语中的边缘介词
边缘介词(Marginal Prepositions)指的是那些在语法功能上与介词相似的词。本文所要介绍的是那些貌似动词却非动词的边缘介词。与一般介词不同的是,这类介词的词形较特别:除少数词以动词原形出现以外,大多数词为分词形式。由于其独特的词形,加上一般语法书上又没有给出详尽的用法说明及例句,人们往往很难将这些词同介词联系在一起。事实上,作为一种较为特殊的介词,它们同样具有一般介词所具有的某些语法功能,在现代英语中的运用也并不少见。例如《大学英语》第一册中有这样的一个句子“...with more dignity than I would have thought possible considering his appearance.” 句中的
“considering”就是一个十分常见的边缘介词。对于每个英语学习者来说,了解并掌握一些类似的边缘介词是很有必要的。这里,我向读者介绍一些常见的类似动词的边缘介词。
一、 形似现在分词的边缘介词
英语中,绝大多数类似动词的边缘介词都为现在分词形式,其中最为常见的有以下一些:
1.barring(不包括,如果没有):
Barring special circumstances, the plane will arrive on schedule. 如无特殊情况,飞机将准时到达。 2.concerning(关于,就……来说):
6 / 8
We had several discussions concerning the matter. 关于这事,我们已讨论好几次了。 3.considering(鉴于,就……而论): Considering his age, he writes quite well. 以他的年龄来看,他写得相当不错。
4.excepting(除……之外),该词用于句首或not,without,always之后。 Everyone helped, not excepting John. 每个人都帮了一把,连约翰也不例外。 5.failing(如果在……中失败,如果没有):
Failing specific instructions, use your own judgment. 如无具体指示,请自行酌办。 6.pending(直到),此词为正式用语。 This matter must wait pending his return from . 这件事要等到他从欧洲回来后再说。
7.regarding(关于),此词为正式用语,常用于商业信函中。
Yesterday, we had a spirited discussion regarding the future of the reform. 昨天,我们就改革的前途进行了一番热烈的讨论。 8.respecting(关于,至于):
I'm at a loss respecting his whereabouts. 关于他的下落,我一无所知。
9.touching(关于,提到),该词用于正式语体或书面语。
7 / 8
Touching the case, I suggest that we should go to ask the litigant. 关于这个案子,我建议我们去问问当事人。 10.wanting(没有):
Wanting courage, victory is impossible. 没有勇气,就不可能取得胜利。
二、形似过去分词及形同动词原形的边缘介词 这类介词为数不多,最常用的有以下几个: 1.given(考虑到):
Given the present conditions, I think she's done rather well. 考虑到目前的条件,我认为她做得相当不错了。 2.granted (that)(假定,即使):
即使她应该来帮你一把,也并不意味着她会这样做。 3.bar(除……之外):
除非路上堵车,我们将准时到达。 4.save(除……之外),此词为正式用语。 The screen was all dark save for one bright spot. 除了一个光点之外,屏幕上一片黑暗。
从以上所给例句中,我们不难看出,这类介词同样具有一般介词的语法功能,它们在句中主要用作状语或在名词短语之后作后置修饰语。有一点需要说明的是,有些以分词形式出现的词,除了有边缘介词的功能以外,还有其他一些功能,如连接词的功能,这就非本文所讨论的范围了。
