1、延续性动词与非延续性动词用法攻略 万小泉(安徽巢湖)一、延续性动词和非延续性动词的概念英语中,动词按其动作发生的方式、动作发生过程的长短,可分为延续性动词和非延续性动词。 延续性动词表示能够延续的动作,这种动作可以延续下去或产生持久影响。此类动词常见的如:learn, work, stand, lie, know, walk, keep, have, wait, watch, sing, read, sleep, live, stay 等。 非延续性动词也称终止性动词、瞬间动词或短暂性动词,表示不能延续的动作,这种动作发生后立即结束。此类动词常见的如 open, close, finish,
2、begin, come, go, arrive, reach, get to, leave, move, borrow, buy 等。二、延续性动词的用法特征1. 延续性动词可以用于现在完成时,其完成时态可与表示“段时间”的状语连用。表示“段时间”的短语有:for two years, during the past three years, since 接时间点或从句, how long 等。如:He has lived here for 6 years.他在这儿已住了六年了。I have learned English since I came here.自从我来到这儿就学英语了。2. 延
3、续性动词不能与“点时间”状语连用。试比较:误:It rained at eight yesterday morning.正:It began to rain at eight yesterday morning.析:rain 为延续性动词,而 at eight 表示“点时间” ,前后显然矛盾。如果用延续性动词表示一瞬间的动作,可以借助 come, begin, get 等非延续性动词来表示。又如: -When did you get to know Jack?你什么时候认识杰克的? -Two years ago.两年前。-Then youve known each other for more
4、 than two years.那么你们相识已有两年了。-Thats right.是这样的。三、非延续性动词的用法特征1. 非延续性动词可用来表示某一动作完成,因此可用于现在完成时。如:The train has arrived.火车到了。Have you joined the computer group?你加入电脑小组了吗?2. 非延续性动词表示的动作极其短暂,不能持续。因此,不可与表示一段时间的状语连用(只限肯定式) 。试比较: 他死了三年了。 误:He has died for three years.正:He has been dead for three years.正:He di
5、ed three years ago.正:It is three years since he died.正:Three years has passed since he died. 史密斯先生来这儿五天了。 误:Mr. Smith has come here for five days.正:Mr. Smith has been here for five days.正:Mr. Smith came here five days ago.正:It is five days since Mr. Smith came here.正:Five days has passed since Mr. S
6、mith came here.析:、句中的 die、come 为非延续性动词,不能与表示“段时间”的状语连用。那么,应如何正确表达呢?可以采用以下四种方法: 将句中非延续性动词转换为相应的延续性动词,如上面两例中的第一种正确表达方式。现表解常见转换类型: 将句中表示“段时间”的状语改为“. ago”时间短语,如上面两例中的第二种正确表达方式。 用句型“It is+段时间+since.”改写,如上面两例中的第三种正确表达方式。 用句型“时间+has passed +since.”改写,如上面两例中的第四种正确表达方式。3. 非延续性动词可用于现在完成时否定式中,成为可以延续的状态,因而可与表示“
7、段时间”的状语连用。如:He hasnt left here since 1986. 自 1986 年以来,他就未离开此地。I havent heard from my father for two weeks.我没有收到父亲来信已有两周时间了。4. 非延续性动词的否定式与 until/till 连用,构成“not+ 非延续性动词+until/till .”的句型,意为“直到才” 。如:You cant leave here until I arrive.直到我到了,你才能离开这里。I will not go to bed until I finish drawing the picture
8、tonight.今天晚上直到我画完画,我才上床睡觉。5. 非延续性动词可以用于 when 引导的时间状语从句中,但不可以用于 while 引导的时间状语从句中。when 表示的时间是“点时间”(从句谓语动词用非延续性动词 ),也可以是“段时间”(从句谓语动词用延续性动词 )。而 while 表示的是一个较长的时间或过程,从句谓语动词用延续性动词。如:When we reached London, it was twelve oclock. (reach 为非延续性动词)Please look after my daughter while/when we are away. (be away
9、为延续性动词短语)6. 非延续性动词一般不可与 how long 连用,表示“多久” 。试比较:误:How long have you come here?正:How long have you been here?正:When did you come here?7. 非延续性动词不能用于进行时态,若是进行时态形式则表示将来时态的含义。如:Im leaving for Lanzhou.我要出发去兰州。I. 单项选择。1.
