浅谈延续性动词和非延续性动词浅谈延续性动词和终止性动词一、延续性动词和终止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 和终止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牛持久影响如: learn, work, stand, lie, know, walk, keep, have, wait, watch, sing, read, sleep, live, stay 等终止性动词也称非延续性动词、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如 open, close, finish, 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〃的短语冇:for two years, during the past three years, sincelast year, how long 等女口: I have learned English since I came here. 口从 我来到这儿就学英语了。
2. 延续性动词不能与表示短暂时间的〃点时间〃状语连用如:It raind at eight yesterday morning.(误)rain为延续性动词,而at eight表示〃点时间〃,前后显 然孑盾假如用延续性动词表示一瞬间的动作,可以借助come, begin, get等终止 性动词来表示上句可改为:It began to rain at eight yesterday morning.(正) 又如:-When did you get to know Jack?-Two years ago.-Then you"ve known each other for more than two years.-That,s right.三、终止性动词的用法特征1•终止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•火车至打Have you joined the computer group?你加入电脑小组了吗?2.终止性动词表示的动作极其短暂,不能持续因此,不可与表示一段吋间的 状语连用(只限肯定式)如:(1) 他死了三年了误:He has died for three years.IE: He has been dead for three years.正:He died three years ago.正:Tt is three years since he died.IE: Three years has passed since he died.(2) 他来这儿五天了。
误:He has come here for five days.正:He has been here for five days.lE: He Crime here five days ago.IE: It is five days since he came here.正:Five days has passed since he came here.(1) > (2)句中的die、come为终止性动词,不能与表示〃段时间〃的状语连用 那么,应如何正确表达呢?可以采用下面的四种方法:(1) 将句中终止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 表达方式卜面列举几例:lcavc-^bc away, borrow-^kccp, buy-^havc, begin/start-^ be on, die—be dead, move to—live in, finish—be over, join—be in/be a member of, open sth. —keep sth. open, fall ill-^be ill, get up—be up, catch a cold—have a cold。
2) 将句中表示〃段时间〃的状语改为表示过去确定时间的状语,如下面两例中 的第二种止确表达方式3)用句世It is段时间since...表达原忌,如上而两例中的第三种正确表 达方式4)用句型〃时间has passed since...,z表达原意,如上面两例中的第四种正确 表达方式3•终止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 示一段时间的状语连用如:He hasn,t left here since 1986・I haven,t heard from my father for two weeks.4. 终止性动词的否定式与until/till连用,构成〃not终止性动词unt订/t订1・・・〃的句型,意为〃直到……才……\如:You can,t leave here until I arrive.直到我到了,你才能离开这里1 will not go to bed until 1 finish drawing the picture tonight.今天 晚上直到我画完画,我才上床睡觉5. 终止性动词可以用于when引导的吋间状语从句中,但不可以用于wh订e引导 的时间 状语从句中。
when表示的时间是〃点时间〃(从句谓语动词用终止性动词), 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i\\:When we reached London, it was twelve oclock, (reach 为终止性动词)Please look after my daughter while/when we are away, (be away 为延续性动 词短语)6. 终止性动词完成时不可与how long连用(只限于肯定式)如:误:How long have you come here?正:How long have you been here?正:When did you come here?专项练习1.
