第十四章 总复习的例子
在这一章,我们将给很多简短的文章,每一段文章的后面,我们都会有详细的解释,相信这些解释将有助于读者对于文法的了解。

Dear Mother:
I arrived at th Taipei Train Station around one o'clock in the afternoon yesterday。 My friend; Mr。 Chen; greeted me in the station。 We took a taxi to go directly to the university and checked into the dormitory。 The dormitory is a very old one。 I will live with three other boys and I met two of them already。 Both of them are from Taichung and they are both quite friendly。
We went to the dormitory cafeteria for dinner。 The food is not that good。 Dear Mother; I miss you and especially the food you cooked for me。
Your son
这封信很简单,所叙述的事情不是用简单的现在式,就是简单的过去式,当然也有一次用了未来式。
绝大多数的句子都用了简单的过去式,因为这些句子都是叙述过去所发生的事,用现在式的有以下几句:
The dormitory is a very old one。
Both of them are from Taichung。
The food is not that good。
I miss you and the food you cooked for me。
为什么这几句话要用现在式呢?道理很简单,这几句话描写的是一些状态,而并非过去发生的事。
〝The dormitory is a very old one。〞
〝Both of them are from Taichung。〞
〝The food is not that good。〞
〝I miss you and the food you cooked for me。〞
等四个句子都是目前存在的事实,所以要用现在式。
现在我们不妨看一下冠词的情形,我们可以看到很多地方都用了the,如:
the Taipei Train Station
the afternoon
the station
the university
the dormitory cafetervia
the dormitory
the food
the food you cooked for me
各位读者一定可以注意到在the后面的名词都有所指,举例来说,the university指那所作者要去念的大学,他的妈妈知道他所说的是那一所大学。The dormitory指那间他已搬进去住的宿舍。凡是有所指的名词前面,原则上都应该加the。
哪里用了〝a〞呢?注意,我们用了两次
a taxi
a very old one
读者应该不难看出为什么这里我们不能用the,而一定要用a。

Mary: 〃Hello; this is Mary。 Who is calling?〃
John: 〃Hi; this is John。 How are you?〃
Mary: 〃I am doing fine。 In fact; I am studying for the final examination now。〃
John: 〃Oh; I am sorry。 When will the exam be over?〃
Mary: 〃This Friday。〃
John: 〃Then; can we have dinner Friday evening?〃
Mary: 〃OK; where are we going to eat?〃
John: 〃How about the Chinese restaurant called Four Seasons?〃
Mary: 〃That is all right with me。 When do we meet?〃
John: 〃How about six o'clock?〃
Mary: 〃That's it。 See you Friday evening at 6 o'clock at the Four Seasons。〃
这一篇短文主要的目的在于介绍所谓现在进行式。
Who is calling。
I am doing fine。
I am studying for the final examination now。
都是标准的现在进行式,事实上,也必须用现在进行式。

I have been interested in music ever since I was a small child。 When I was seven years old; my mother gave me a violin as a birthday present。 I have been taking violin lessons ever since。
I am so much interested in music that I finally decided to go to music school。 This was a hard decision for me。 I consulted with my parents。 Both of them encouraged me to go ahead。
Yesterday; I was accepted by one of the best music schools in Taiwan。 I am really happy about this。
这一段话中,我们开始用现在完成式,比方说第一句话就是
I have been interested in music ever since I was a small child。
为什么要用现在完成式呢?道理很简单,这句话里面有有〝ever since〞这个词,凡是有了这个词句,我们就一定要用现在完成式了。
另外一句用了现在完成进行式的句子是:
I have been taking violin lessons ever since。
读者不妨去看看第四章,就知道为什么这里要用现在完成进行式了。凡是〝自从〞某某日开始,而就一直在做的事情,就应该用现在完成式,或者现在完成进行式。
这一段文章里面,我们还用了被动语气。
I was accepted by one of the best music schools in Taiwan。
各位读者不妨注意,这被动语气的用法是很正当而且适宜的,如用主动这句话变成了
One of the best music schools accepted me。
这样反而并不太能表达原意。

Before I got into college; I had been to the United States and lived there for one year。 This is why I could speak English better than average students。
As I studied as a college student; Hitler was secretly preparing for the Second World War。 The war erupted finally when I was a senior。 I was forced to quit school and was drafted into the army。 I luckily survived the war and came back to resume my studying after the war was over。 Since I had gone to the war; I was more mature than most of the other students。 Even now; I can still remember my days as a college student as well as a soldier。
这篇文章介绍了如何使用过去完成式,第一句话就用了过去完成式,因为有两件事,一件是〝进大学〞,另一件是〝去过美国〞,由于在进大学以前去美国,所以〝去美国〞就用了过去完成式。
请注意第二段的第一句:
As I studied as a college student; Hitler was secretly preparing for the Second World War。
这一次,我们用了过去进行式,因为有两件事,〝在学校念书〞是一件事,〝希特勒在准备发动第二次世界大战〞是另一件事,其中有一件可以用过去完成式。
同理,在第二段话的最后一句话中,〝曾经去打过仗〞用了过去完成式。
这段文章中,有一句话用了被动语气,读者不妨看这句话〝I was forced to quit school。〞,其实我们在这种情形之下,我们必须用被动语气,当然也可以用主动语气,不过那并不太自然。
也请读者注意这段文章的最后一句话仍一定要用现在式。

I have been interested in reading novels for a long time。 Among all of the novels that I have read; I like detective novels the most。 Among all detective novels; I especially like those written by Agatha Christe。
Last year; I started reading another kind of novels; namely science fictions。 I found out that some science fiction writers are quite philosophical。 Unfortunately; there are not too many of them。
I always have a dream that one day I will be good in writing novels。 Do you think that my dreams may e true?
这段文章中,我们介绍了动名词的用法,第一句话的reading就是动名词,除此以外,我们还有两处用了动名词:started reading和good in writing。
读者也应该了解为什么第一句话要用现在完成进行式,在第二句话里面,当我们形容novels,我们也用了现在完成式。
请读者注意第一段的最后一句话,those written by Agatha
