【注】有时可用其他时态的情况,但须注意:
① 对于某些表示状态的动词(如 seem 等),或因语义等方面的原因,有时可能用一般现在时比较现在完成时更合适:
It seems like years since we last met. 我们似乎几年未见面了。
Since when does the $42 plus $5 service charge come to $48? 从什么什候开始42元加5元的服务费等于48元了?
② 若不是指从过去持续到现在,而是指从较远的过去持续到在一个较近的过去,则用过去完成时:
Yesterday he told me that he hadn’t eaten anything since Tuesday. 他昨天告诉我自星期二以来他一直未吃任何东西。(指从星期二至昨天未吃东西)
③ 表示时间长度时,通常用一般现在时代替现在完成时:
It’s ten years since he left here. 他离开这儿已10年了。
过去将来时的用法:
过去将来时由“would+动词原形”构成,主要表示从过去某一时间来看将要发生的事情(尤其用于宾语从句中):
He told us he would help us. 他告诉我们他会帮助我们。
I knew you would agree. 我当时就知道你会同意的。
【注】在一定的语境中也可于其他从句或句子中:
It was a problem whether they would support us. 他们是否会支持我们还是一个问题。
It was six o’clock. The sun would soon set. 这时是六点钟。太阳即将落山。
表示将来时间的常见方法:
(1) 用“be about to+动词原形”表示。主要表示即将要发生的事:
He is about to leave. 他即将要离开。
Sit down, everyone. The film is about to start. 大家坐好,电影马上就要开始了。
【注】该结构通常不与具体的时间状语连用:
误:He is about to leave soon [tomorrow].
另外,该结构在美国英语中还可表示“打算”(主要用于否定句):
I’m not about to lend him any more money. 我不打算再借给他任何钱。
(2) 用“be due to+动词原形”表示。主要表示按计划或时间表将要发生某事:
He is due to leave very soon. 他很快就要离开。
His book is due to be published in October. 他的书计划10月份出版。
