谈英语的体

研究英语的体应从研究动词情景入手。动词情景的分类应以三对内在体性为依据 ,按一定步骤进行。动词情景的内部时间构成成分与它们的内在体性有着密切关系。体就是看动词情景的内部时间构成成分的不同方式。体可分为三对体义。在英语中 ,体除了借助进行体和完成体表现外 ,更多的可借助时态或词化形式来表现

On English Aspects

The study of English aspects should start with the study of situations and the grouping of situations should be based on the three oppositions of inherent aspectual characters and carried out in a proper order. The internal constituency of a situation has much to do with its inherent aspectual characters. Aspects are the different ways of viewing the internal temporal constituency of a situation and can be classified into three oppositions. In the English language, aspects are expressed in terms of progressive and perfective aspects and more often than not in terms of tenses or lixicalization.
