英语基础时态 :现在进行时的理解与用法
湖南 陈淑华
一、如何理解
顾名思义,现在进行时就是指说话时正在进行的动作或发生的情况。如汉语说的
“我在看书”“他在吃饭”“火车在行驶”“秘书在打字”等,在英语中都要用现在进行进来表
达,因为它们所涉及的动作在说话的时刻都正在进行
二、构成与用法
现在进行时由“am / is / are + 现在分词”构成。如:
She is still sleeping. 她还在睡觉
We are waiting for the rain to stop. 我们在等雨停
They are playing quietly now. 他们在安静地玩着
三、用法补充
1. 表示临时性 :现在进行时除表示说话时正在进行的动作之外,还可表示在短期
内临时进行的动作或存在的情况,这种情况通常不会长期如此,并且在说话时刻也不
一定正在进行。如:
Don’t take that ladder away. Your father’s using it. 别把梯子拿起,你父亲在用
哩
The professor is typing his own letters while his secretary is ill. 秘书生病时,教
授自己打他的信
2. 表示 划 :即表示按 划或安排要发生的将来动作,这类用法在没有明确上下
文的情况下,通常会连用一个表示将来时间的状语。如:
Are you working next week? 你下星期工作吗?
We’re spending next winter in Australia. 我们将要在澳大利亚度过明年冬天
用arrive, come, go, leave, take off 等动词的现在进行时描写行程安排,也通常有
含有将来意义。如:
He is arriving tomorrow morning on the 16:40 train. 他乘下午4:40 的火车明天上
午到
3. 表示重复 :现在进行时有时可以与always, constantly, continually, forever 等
表示动作屡次发生的副词连用,强调动作的不断重复的。如:
He is always losing his keys. 他老是丢钥匙
He is always thinking of his work .他老是想到他的工作
She’s constantly changing her mind. 她老是改变主意
Some students in my class are forever talking. 我班上有些学生老是在说话
这类用法通常带有一定的感情色彩,如表示满意、赞扬、责备、不满、厌烦、不
以为然等
