She watched TV until her mother came back.这句话为什么前面不用过去进行时?
She watched TV until her mother came back.这句话为什么前面不用过去进行时?
用 until 连接的从句表示前面的动作到了这个时间点随即结束.如果前面是瞬间动词表示的没有执行的动作,到了until 这个特定时间就变成执行状态;如果前面是延续性动词表示的执行着的动作,到了until 这个特定时间就变成不再执行状态.如要说“一直到她母亲回来她才不再看电视”,就可以用瞬间动词和延续性动词两种手段表示:
She (didn’t stop) watching TV until her mother came back.(stop 是瞬间动词,意思是她没有执行stop watching TV的瞬间行为,这种情况一直发展到母亲回来才告结束)
She (watched) TV until her mother came back.(watch 是延续性动词,意思是都在执行着watchedTV行为,这种延续情况一直发展到母亲回来才告结束).
until 标示的是一个时间点,在短暂的时间点上不可能存在进行状态的动作,因此 until 引导的时间状语只能与一般过去时和过去完成时(包括完成进行时)或者一般将来时和将来完成时连用.如:
She (had watched) the TV program until her mother came back.(在她母亲回来以前,她曾看过这个电视节目)
She (had been watching) TV until her mother came back.(直到她母亲回来,她都在看电视来着)
She (will watch) TV until her mother comes back.(一直到她母亲回来,她才不再看电视)
She (willhave watched) the TV program until her mother comes back.(在她母亲回来以前,她将看完这个电视节目)
如果要表示“她正看着电视,这时候母亲突然回来了”,应该说 She (was watching) TV (when) her mother came back.
如果用过去进行时,将和这个句子表达的意思不同,同时也不能用until,应该是:She was watching TVwhen her mother came back.
如果前面用的是进行时那句子应该变成She was watching TV when her mother came back.
