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生持久影响。
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"的短语有:for two years, during the past three years, since last year, how long等。
如:I have learned English since I came here.自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 rained at eight yesterday morning.(误) 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.火车到了。
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,不可与表示一段时间的状语连用(只限肯定式)。
如:
(1)他死了三年了。
误:He has died for three years.(×)
正:
正:He died three years ago.
正:It is three years since he died.
正:
(2)他来这儿五天了。
误:He has come here for five days.(×)
正:He has been here for five days.
正:He came here five days ago.
正: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:
如上面两例中的第一种正确表达方式。
下面列举几例:
leave→be away, borrow→keep, buy→have, begin/start→be on, die→be dead, m ove 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。
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+until/till ..."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。
I will not go to bed until I 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。
如:
When we reached London, it was twelve o'clock. (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?
