知識(shí)精講1
1.I'm learning/learn a lot today.
一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)和現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)的用法區(qū)別英語(yǔ)中的一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)和現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)在用法上有著許多相似之處,但又有著本質(zhì)的區(qū)別。傳統(tǒng)的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法書籍從沒有將這兩種時(shí)態(tài)的諸多相似的用法聯(lián)系起來(lái)分析、比較,這極易使英語(yǔ)初學(xué)者在理解和記憶這些用法時(shí)產(chǎn)生混淆。下面我就這兩種時(shí)態(tài)的相似用法作一橫向的比較。
充當(dāng)將來(lái)時(shí)的一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)與現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)在用法上的區(qū)別:
。1)一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表示將來(lái)時(shí)間時(shí),用于時(shí)間表、節(jié)日單或日程表上所安排好的事情:
The conference begins at 8:30 and ends at 10.
We leave tomorrow at 6:30 and arrive at 10
June 8 marks our 10 th wedding anniversary.
在這種用法中,句中動(dòng)詞多為go,come,sail,start,return,open,close,takeoff,land等。
(2)現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)表示將來(lái)時(shí)間時(shí),則強(qiáng)調(diào)個(gè)人在最近要做的事先安排、計(jì)劃好的事情,常跟表示未來(lái)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ):
I am spending next summer in Alaska.
They are having a holiday next Saturday.
He is arriving tomorrow morning on the 6:30 tram.
I'm seeing Linda this evening.
比較:一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)與現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)均可表示最近按計(jì)劃安排要做的事,但前者表示某個(gè)集體或組織的計(jì)劃,而后者表示個(gè)人的計(jì)劃。如:
I leave for Changchun tomorrow.(我和其他成員一起去,且該計(jì)劃也不是我個(gè)人定的)
I am leaving tomorrow.(我個(gè)人的計(jì)劃)
與高頻副詞連用的一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)和現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)在用法上的區(qū)別:
。1)一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)與高頻副詞(always,constantly,forever,perpetually,repeatedly)連用時(shí)表示經(jīng)常性發(fā)生的動(dòng)作,如:
Tom always helps me with my work.
He is nearly always at home in the evening.
。2)現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)與高頻副詞也表示經(jīng)常性發(fā)生的動(dòng)作,但它還同時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)說(shuō)者對(duì)某人所做事情的贊揚(yáng)或批評(píng)(如欣賞、厭倦等),如:
I'm always hearing strange stories about him.
She's always helping people (changing her mind).
Our fire alarm is forever going off for no reason.
She is always coming late for work.
與某些可持續(xù)動(dòng)詞或形容詞連用的一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)和現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)在用法上的區(qū)別:
。1)一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)與某些可持續(xù)動(dòng)詞或形容詞連用時(shí)可表示習(xí)慣性的動(dòng)作或一般存在的狀態(tài),如:
The river flows slowly.
Bill is very clever.
The boy is naughty.
The car works perfectly.
。2)而現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)與某些可持續(xù)動(dòng)詞或形容詞連用則強(qiáng)調(diào)該動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)的暫時(shí)性,表示不能長(zhǎng)期發(fā)生的動(dòng)作或存在的情況:
The river is flowing fast after the heavy rain.
。ㄖ皇窃诒┯曛蠛铀抛兊猛募绷耍
He's being very clever today.

The car is working perfectly.
(這車子平時(shí)總出毛病,這會(huì)兒工作得倒挺不錯(cuò))
一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)和現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)與感覺動(dòng)詞連用時(shí)在用法上的區(qū)別:
(1)感覺動(dòng)詞與一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)連用時(shí),表示無(wú)意的感覺行為(如無(wú)意中聽見或看見),如:
I notice a change in the way he is dressed.
They all smell something burning.
He feels cold.
。2)感覺動(dòng)詞與現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)連用時(shí),表示有意的感覺行為,如:
I am smelling these new perfumes and trying to decide which to buy.
I'm feeling this material to see whether it is pure silk or not.
I am listening to the radio.
一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)和現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)在命令句中的用法區(qū)別:
。1)一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)用來(lái)表示語(yǔ)氣強(qiáng)硬的命令或警告,如:
You finish the assignment before 4 o'clock this afternoon.
你必須在今天下午4點(diǎn)鐘以前完成任務(wù)。
You mind your own business.
你少管我的事(管好你自己吧)。
。2)現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)用來(lái)表示語(yǔ)氣較溫和的命令或要求,如:
You are standing next to Tom,Bill.
Don't just stand by. You are helping me with this.

現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)和一般過去時(shí)的用法區(qū)別
現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)和一般過去時(shí)都表示過去的動(dòng)作,區(qū)別在于該動(dòng)作是否與現(xiàn)在發(fā)生聯(lián)系:過去時(shí)的動(dòng)作與現(xiàn)在無(wú)大聯(lián)系;而現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的動(dòng)作結(jié)果一直影響到現(xiàn)在,也許還在持續(xù)。

。ㄗ蛱焓欠癯栽顼埡同F(xiàn)在沒什么關(guān)系)

現(xiàn)在分詞與過去分詞作定語(yǔ)比較
由于現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞具有形容詞或副詞的特點(diǎn),在句中可作表語(yǔ)、狀語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)和定語(yǔ)。作定語(yǔ)時(shí),既可作前置定語(yǔ),又可作后置定語(yǔ)。現(xiàn)將其用法歸納如下,供大家參考。
前置定語(yǔ):?jiǎn)为?dú)一個(gè)分詞作定語(yǔ)時(shí),一般情況下被放在被修飾的名詞前面,例如:
。1)現(xiàn)在分詞:幾乎所有的現(xiàn)在分詞都可以作前置定語(yǔ),現(xiàn)在分詞表示它所修飾名詞的動(dòng)作,二者有邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系,并且表示所修飾詞的特點(diǎn)、性質(zhì)等。(可以轉(zhuǎn)換成定語(yǔ)從句)如:
Barking dogs seldom bite.=Dogs which barks seldom bite.
愛叫的狗很少咬人。
。2)過去分詞:所有的及物動(dòng)詞的過去分詞都可以作前置定語(yǔ),不及物動(dòng)詞過去分詞作前置定語(yǔ)時(shí),一般過去分詞前有副詞修飾,但也有少數(shù)幾個(gè)可以單獨(dú)作前置定語(yǔ)。過去分詞與已經(jīng)完全變成了形容詞的過去分詞作前置定語(yǔ)的區(qū)別是:前者表示中心詞承受動(dòng)作的結(jié)果或狀態(tài);而后者表示中心詞的特點(diǎn)。如:
a newly arrived student新到的學(xué)生(arrived是不及物動(dòng)詞,但前有newly修飾)
an escaped convict逃犯(escaped是不及物動(dòng)詞)
a retired worker退休工人(retired是不及物動(dòng)詞)
a locked door上鎖的門(locked表示中心詞door鎖后的狀態(tài))
an experienced doctor有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的醫(yī)生(experienced表示中心詞doctor的特點(diǎn))
后置定語(yǔ):
。1)當(dāng)被修飾的詞是由some/any/no+thing/body/one所構(gòu)成的不定代詞或指示代詞those等時(shí),雖然是一個(gè)單一的分詞作形容詞用,但也要放在其后。(可變?yōu)槎ㄕZ(yǔ)從句)如:
There has been nothing changed since I left Harbin two years ago.
自從兩年前離開,哈爾濱一直沒有什么變化。
(2)當(dāng)分詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ)時(shí),一定要放其之后。如:
The bottle containing (=which contained ) the poison was sent to the laboratory.
盛毒品的瓶子被送到實(shí)驗(yàn)室。
They have Intimate knowledge of the subject being investigated (=which is being investigated ).
他們對(duì)所研究的題目非常熟悉。
注意:現(xiàn)在分詞的完成式不能作后置定語(yǔ)。但是,如果中心詞是泛指的,偶爾可用現(xiàn)在分詞的完成式作后置定語(yǔ)。如:不能說(shuō):
The man having written that book is our teacher.
應(yīng)該說(shuō):
The man who has written that book is our teacher,
寫那本書的人是我們的老師。

Your house is three times larger than mine.
比較結(jié)構(gòu)的用法:
1)比較級(jí)+than
You are taller than I.
注意:
要避免重復(fù)使用比較級(jí)。
。ㄥe(cuò))He is more cleverer than his brother.
。▽(duì))He is more clever than his brother.
(對(duì))He is cleverer than his brother.
要避免將主語(yǔ)含在比較對(duì)象中。
(錯(cuò))China is larger than any country in Asia.
。▽(duì))China is larger than any other country in Asia.
要注意對(duì)應(yīng)句型,遵循前后一致的原則。
The population of Shanghai is larger than that of Beijing.
It is easier to make a plan than to carry it out.
要注意冠詞的使用,后有名詞的時(shí)候,前面才有可能有名詞。
比較:Which is larger,Canada or Australia?
Which is the larger country,Canada or Australia?
she is taller than her two sisters.
She is the taller of the two sisters.
2)as+形容詞或副詞原級(jí)+as在否定句中可用so…as。
He cannot run so/as fast as you.
當(dāng)as…as中間有名詞時(shí)采用以下格式。
as+形容詞+a+單數(shù)名詞
as+many/much+名詞
This is as good an example as the other is.
I can carry as much paper as you can.
用表示倍數(shù)的詞或其他程度副詞作修飾語(yǔ)時(shí),放在as的前面。
This room is twice 9s big as that one.
Your room is the same size as mine.
倍數(shù)+as+adj.+as=倍數(shù)+the名詞+of
This bridge is three times as long as that one.
This bridge is three times the length of that one.
Your room is twice as large as mine.
Your room is twice the size of mine.

prefer用法種種
prefer意為“寧可、寧愿、更喜歡”,其后可以接名詞、代詞、動(dòng)詞不定式、動(dòng)名詞或從句,還可以構(gòu)成固定句型。由于該詞后可接的成分多,用法靈活,許多同學(xué)對(duì)這個(gè)詞的諸多用法常常容易弄混淆。為了便于同學(xué)們掌握和用好它,筆者對(duì)prefer的八種常見搭配作出以下歸納。
。1)prerfer+n. (pron.) 寧愿,更喜歡

I'd rather go to the cinema than stay at home and watch TV.
would rather用法淺析
“would rather+動(dòng)詞原形”是英語(yǔ)中常見的一個(gè)慣用句式(美國(guó)英語(yǔ)中多用had rather)。'd rather為would(或had)rather的縮寫形式。Would (had ) 在此決無(wú)“過去”之意,且無(wú)詞性、時(shí)態(tài)變化,它是一個(gè)情態(tài)助動(dòng)詞。該句式常用來(lái)表示選擇的意愿,意為“寧可……”“寧愿……”“最好……”。如:
He'd rather work in the countryside.
他寧可到農(nóng)村去工作。
If you'd rather be alone,we'll all leave here.
如果你寧愿獨(dú)自呆著,那我們都離開這兒。
You would rather stay at home and do some reading this evening.
今晚你最好呆在家中讀點(diǎn)書。
would rather與than連用.可構(gòu)成另一個(gè)慣用句式,即“would rather…than…”,意為“寧可(愿)……(而)不要(愿)……”“與其……不如……”。用以表達(dá)主語(yǔ)的意愿。強(qiáng)調(diào)經(jīng)過選擇后做其中一件事,而不愿做另一件事。如:
I would rather watch TV at home than walk outside.
我寧可在家看電視而不愿到外邊散步。
在使用“would rather…than…”句型時(shí)。應(yīng)注意以下幾點(diǎn):
(1)如該句型前后連接的兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞相同,則than之后的那個(gè)動(dòng)詞可省去。如:
I'd rather you know that now than afterwards.
我于可你現(xiàn)在就知道這件事.而不是以后。
。2)would rather…than…也可改寫成“would…rather than…”,其用法及含義仍不變。如:
Facing the enemies,our soldiers would die rather than surrender.
面對(duì)敵人,我們的戰(zhàn)士寧死不屈。
。3)有時(shí),為表示語(yǔ)氣上的強(qiáng)調(diào),可將rather than置于句首。如:
Rather than refuse to help you,I would borrow money from my friends.
我寧可向朋友借錢,也不愿拒絕幫助你。
。4)would rather后也可跟從句,表示主語(yǔ)寧愿讓某人干某事。這時(shí),從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣,即用一般過去時(shí)表示現(xiàn)在或?qū)?lái)要做的事;用過去完成時(shí)表示過去要做的事。如:
I'd rather she set out to do the work now.
我寧愿她現(xiàn)在就著手做這項(xiàng)工作。
(5)would rather后還可接動(dòng)詞的完成時(shí),表示主語(yǔ)要做某事,而結(jié)果事與愿違的意思。如:
I'd rather have left a note on her desk.
我本想留張字條在她書桌上的。(事實(shí)上沒有留)
