问题:为何用进行时表达一般情况?
VOA新闻节选:
前面讲到:目前因为新冠状病毒的蔓延,世界上一半以上的学生失学,
接着看下面:
While more than half of the students around the world are out of school, some can attend remotely where
they have adequate technology.
Our teachers are coming to the school on a daily basis.
大家的老师天天都来学校。
They come in one after one or two together and theyre prodviding their lessons to the students.
他们一个接一个地,或者两个人聚在一块,给学生们上课。
困惑:
表达一般的状况为何用了进行时?(指Our teachers are coming to the school on a daily basis.)如何理解这里的进行时呢?
另外,为何下面又用了一般目前时(指They come in one after one or two together)和进行时(指and theyre prodviding their lessons to the students.)
麻烦老师讲解一下,谢谢!
“目前进行时”,其中一个使用方法是:表示现阶段内正在进行的动作。这种使用方法表示现在一段时间内在做某一件事,但说话时未必正在做。比如:
Milla is working on a new book about stories in schools.
米拉在写一本书,是关于校园故事的。
I am helping my dad on the farm this summer vacation.
这个暑假我在农场帮我父亲。
Sorry,you cant take the portable computer away.Im using it.
对不起,你不可以把笔记本电脑拿去,我在用。
