进行时态主要只用于表示有意识的动作。因此某些动词通常不用进行时态而只有一种现在时态,即一般现在时。这些动词可以分类如下:
A 表示感觉(不由自主的动作)的动词如feel,hear,see,smell;也包括notice和observe(=notic)以及当连词用的feel,
look,taste等。
表示有意识地使用感官的动词如gaze,listen,look(at),ob- serve(=watch),stare和watch可用于各种进行时态:
Watch!
I am watching but I dont see anything unusual.
看!
我是在看,可我看不出有什么不寻常的事。
He is listening to a tape,but hes wearing earphones so nobody else hears it.
他在听磁带,可他是戴着耳机听的,所以别人谁也听不见。
B 表示感情和情绪的动词如admire(=respect),adore,appreci- ate(=value),care for(=like),desire,detest,dislike,fear, hate,like,loathe,love,mind(=care),respect,value,want,wish等。
但是,在admire意为以敬佩、赞美或羡慕的眼光看着,ap- preciate意为增值,care for意为照顾,long for意为渴望得到, mind意为照顾/使自己关顾到,value意为估计事
物值多少钱,enjoy和like/love意为享用和hate表示很讨厌地干和用着时,它们都表示了主动的动作,可以有进行时态。但like,love与hate还是用一般时态更为保险:
Hes enjoying his holiday in the Arctic.He hates touristy places and he doesnt mind the cold.
他正在北极地区享受假日。他不喜欢旅游味道浓的地方,他也不怕冷。
Im minding my own business.
我在管我自己的事。
How are you liking/Do you like your new job?
Im hating it./I hate it.I just dont like work,you see.
你喜欢你的新工作吗?
我恨透了它/我讨厌它。你知道,我就是不愿意干活。
C 表示精神活动的动词如agree,appreciate(=understand),as- sume,believe,expect(=think),feel(=think),feel sure/cer- tain,forget,know,mean,perceive,realize,recall,recongnize,recollect,remember,see(=understand),see through someone
(=penetrate his attempt to deceive),suppose,think(=have an opinion),trust(=believe/have confidence in),understand。
D 表示拥有的动词如belong,owe,own,possess:
How much do I owe you?
我欠你多少钱?(我该给你多少钱?)
E助动词,但be和have的某些用法除外。
F appear(=seem),concern,consist,contain,hold(=contain),keep(=continue),matter,seem,signify,sound(=seem/ap- pear):
It concerns us all.
它和我们大家都有关系。
This box contains explosives.
这个匣子里面是炸药。
但appear意为公开露面或出现时则可用进行时。
