as引导的时间状语问题
I saw your sister ___as___she was getting on the bus yesterday.
请问:as引导的状语从句不应该是持续性动作吗,这里上车应该是瞬时性动作吧,可以用as吗?
感谢老师们帮助!
1. as 用于延续性动词或终止性动词,均可。
2. was getting on:get 是终止性动词,其进行体表示“尚未发生”,理解为“马上上车;就要上车;快要上车”——反正还没上车。
终止性动词的特点是:要么没上车,要么上了车。没有“正在上车” 的定义。不可以机械地用“时间长短” 去衡量一个终止性动词——终止性动词,在语法定义里是没时间长度的。所以,不要理解为“正在上车”。应翻译成“马上上车;就要上车;快要上车”。
I saw your sister as she was getting on the bus yesterday.
【翻译】昨天,你妹妹正要上公交车时,我看到了她。
