中級美國英語現(xiàn)在完成進行時態(tài)
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里,我們學(xué)習(xí)現(xiàn)在完成進行時態(tài), 比方 "一直在玩" have been playing."一直在學(xué)習(xí)" have been studying 等等.現(xiàn)在我們先來聽今天這一課的對話,內(nèi)容是說彼得和瑪麗談起電腦的事情. 請你注意聽兩位英文老師的發(fā)音和語調(diào).
F: Peter, where have you been?
M: I've been playing Pac Man at the Arcade in the student union.
F: Have you been wasting your time on those computer games again?
M: Not really, Mary. I've been studying a lot this week and I need a break.
F: Why don't you buy a computer and some of those games? Then you can play at home.
M: I have been looking at home computers.There are a lot of different kinds on market now.
F: I know, and they have been getting cheaper.
M: How do you know that?
F: I've been thinking of buying a home computer too.
現(xiàn)在英文老師再把對話用慢速度念一遍, 請你注意聽.
F: Peter, where have you been?
M: I've been playing Pac Man at the Arcade in the student union.
F: Have you been wasting your time on those computer games again?
M: Not really, Mary. I've been studying a lot this week and I need a break.
F: Why don't you buy a computer and some of those games? Then you can play at home.
M: I have been looking at home computers.There are a lot of different kinds on market now.
F: I know, and they have been getting cheaper.
M: How do you know that?
F: I've been thinking of buying a home computer too.
下面我請英文老師把對話里的現(xiàn)在完成進行時態(tài)句子再念一遍.
M: I've been playing Pac Man at the Arcade in the student union.
F: Have you been wasting your time on those computer games again?
M: I've been studying a lot this week.
M: I have been looking at home computers.
F: They have been getting cheaper.
F: I've been thinking of buying a home computer too.
二.現(xiàn)在完成進行式
聽了上面的句子, 我想你或許已經(jīng)注意到現(xiàn)在完成進行時態(tài)是用 has been 或是 have been 和加了 i-n-g 的動詞構(gòu)成的. 這種時態(tài)是用來表示一個動作從過去一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在.現(xiàn)在我請英文老師念一些跟剛才那段對話有關(guān)系的現(xiàn)在完成進行時態(tài)句子,每個句子各念兩遍, 請你聽一遍, 跟著老師重復(fù)一遍.
M: Peter has been taking computer courses this semester.
F: Peter has been taking computer courses this semester.
M: Peter has been playing computer games this afternoon.
F: Peter has been playing computer games this afternoon.
M: Mary has been thinking of buying a home computer recently.
F: Mary has been thinking of buying a home computer recently.
M: Mary has been looking at home computers lately.
F: Mary has been looking at home computers lately.
下面一組練習(xí)是由老師把剛才那些句子改成問句, 比方老師說: "彼得一直在學(xué)什么?" What has Peter been studying? 接著老師說 "電腦程式" computer programming,學(xué)生就回答說: Peter has been studying computer programming. 現(xiàn)在我們開始作練習(xí), 學(xué)生回答問題的時候請你也一起回答.
M: What has Peter been taking?
M: computer courses
F: Peter has been taking computer courses.
M: What has Peter been studying?
M: computer programming
F: Peter has been studying computer programming.
M: What has Peter been playing?

M: What has Mary been thinking of?
M: buying a home computer
F: Mary has been thinking of buying a home computer.
M: What has Mary been looking at?
M: home computers
F: Mary has been looking at home computers.
下面一組練習(xí)的內(nèi)容是說現(xiàn)代電腦進步的情況, 比方:現(xiàn)在電腦比以前便宜,比以前有效率, 也比以前受歡迎等等. 練習(xí)的作法是由男老師用have become 加上形容詞比較級作句子, 比方: "電腦比以前實用了." Computers have become more practical, 請你用 have been getting 加上形容詞比較級把句子改成 "電腦越來越實用." Computers have been getting more practical. 現(xiàn)在我們開始作練習(xí), 請你每作完一句就聽老師念正確答案.
M: Computers have become smaller.
F: Computers have been getting smaller.
M: Computers have become better.
F: Computers have been getting better.
M: Computers have become easier to use.
F: Computers have been getting easier to use.

M: Computers have become more efficient.
F: Computers have been getting more efficient.
M: Computers have become more convenient.
F: Computers have been getting more convenient.
M: Computers have become more popular.
F: Computers have been getting more popular.
剛才那組練習(xí)里有些形容詞你可能不太熟, 比方 "經(jīng)濟實惠" economical, "有效率" efficient 等等. 現(xiàn)在我們作一組代換練習(xí), 一方面復(fù)習(xí)現(xiàn)在完成進行時態(tài),一方面復(fù)習(xí)這些形容詞. 請你在學(xué)生作代換練習(xí)的時候也一起作.
M: Computers have been getting smaller.
M: better
F: Computers have been getting better.
M: more useful
F: Computers have been getting more useful.

M: more popular
F: Computers have been getting more popular.
下面一組練習(xí)的內(nèi)容是說電腦的發(fā)展情況. 練習(xí)的作法是老師念一個被動語態(tài)的現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)句子,比方 "更好的電腦已經(jīng)設(shè)計出來了." Better computers have been designed. 接著老師念出名詞, 也就是動作執(zhí)行者, 比方 "技師" technicians, 請你用老師給你的名詞把原來的句子改為現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)的主動語態(tài)句子, 所以剛才那例子的答案就是: "技師一直在設(shè)計更好的電腦. "Technicians have been designing better computers. 這組練習(xí)比較難, 所以你要特別注意. 每作完一句老師會念出正確答案,讓你作個比較, 看你作對了沒有.

M: a lot of people
F: A lot of people have been buying home computers.
M: computers have been used at home.
M: a lot of people
F: A lot of people have been using computers at home.
下面一組練習(xí)的作法是老師念一個現(xiàn)在完成進行時態(tài)句子, 比方: "人們一直用電腦來計算復(fù)雜的問題. " People have been using computers to compute complex problems.接著老師念出一個詞組, 比方: "存放資料" store information,請你把老師提出的詞組代換到原來的句子里,所以答案就是 People have been using computers to store information. 在這一組練習(xí)里你可以學(xué)到電腦的許多用途, 比方: "記錄生意狀況" record business, "與別人溝通" communicate with others, "寄帳單給客戶" send bills to customers, "記下存貨數(shù)量" keep records of inventories, "記錄開支數(shù)目" keep track of expenses, "開關(guān)電動器具" turn appliances on and off 等等. 這些詞匯你可能不太熟, 請你作練習(xí)的時候特別注意聽, 每作完一句就聽老師再把正確答案念一遍.

The home computers industry has been growing rapidly in the United States for the last ten years. Computers used to be large, expensive machines that were very difficult to use. But scientists and technicians have been making them smaller and cheaper while at the same time they have been made easier to use. As a result, their popularity has been increasing as more people have been buying computers for their homes and businesses. Computers have been designed to store information and compute complex problems. Some have voices that speak with the operators. Stores use computers to keep records of their inventories and to send bills to their customers. Offices use computers to type letters, record business and communicate with other offices. People have been using computers in their homes to keep track of expenses and turn appliances on and off. One important new use for computers is for entertainment. Many new games have been designed to be played on the computers. People of all ages have been playing these games. They have been going to Arcades where the computer games can be played for a small cost. People also have been buying home computers to play computer games at home. They have become very popular indeed.
