在使用英語動(dòng)詞時(shí)，要注意區(qū)別延時(shí)性動(dòng)詞和終止性動(dòng)詞以及這兩類動(dòng)詞的不同的習(xí)慣用法阻荒。
中文也有延時(shí)性動(dòng)詞和終止性動(dòng)詞的概念，只是在使用時(shí)众羡，不像英語财松，會(huì)造成理解上的問題。
不注意英語的這個(gè)習(xí)慣用法纱控，就會(huì)在中英對(duì)譯時(shí)出錯(cuò)：
例（1）
——你遲到了辆毡。火車已經(jīng)開走了半個(gè)小時(shí)甜害。
誤譯：You are late. The train has left for half an hour.
正譯：You are late. The train has been away for half an hour.
正譯：You are late. The train left half an hour ago.
例（2）
——He has written two books since he was ill.
誤譯：他自生病以來舶掖，已經(jīng)寫了兩本書了。
正譯：他病好后尔店，已經(jīng)寫了兩本書了眨攘。
1. 延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞要點(diǎn)
（1）延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞表示能夠延續(xù)的動(dòng)詞作
如：learn, work, stand, lie, know, walk, keep, have, wait, watch, sing, read, sleep, live, stay等。
（2）延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞可以與表示時(shí)間段的狀語連用嚣州。
如：for 2 years / since引導(dǎo)的從句 / since last year / since 5 days ago / how long / for a long time等鲫售。
例句:
——He has lived here for 6 years.
——You can keep the book for 5 days.
——I stayed there for 2 weeks last year
——How long did you stay there last year?
2. 非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞要點(diǎn)
（1） 非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞也稱終止性動(dòng)詞、瞬間動(dòng)詞, 表示不能延續(xù)的動(dòng)作, 這種動(dòng)作發(fā)生后立即結(jié)束该肴。如:
open, die, close, begin, finish, come, go, move, borrow, lend, buy, find等情竹。
（2） 非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞在肯定句中與表示具體時(shí)間點(diǎn)的狀語連用，如：two years ago; at 5 o'clock
例:
——He died 5 years ago.
（3） 非延續(xù)動(dòng)詞不能和表示時(shí)間段的狀語連用：
例：He has come here for two hours. (錯(cuò)句)
注意：
終止性動(dòng)詞的否定形式可以與表示時(shí)間段的時(shí)間狀語連用匀哄。例:
——I haven't left here for 3 years.
——I haven't heard from him for 3 weeks.
3. 延時(shí)性動(dòng)詞和終止性動(dòng)詞在until引導(dǎo)的狀語從句中的用法：
(1) 主句謂語動(dòng)詞是瞬時(shí)動(dòng)詞時(shí)秦效，主句用否定句：
例：
——I didn’t realize the importance of English until I worked for a trade company.
(2) 主句謂語動(dòng)詞是延時(shí)動(dòng)詞時(shí)，主句用肯定句：
例：
——I will be free until 4 pm.
4. 延時(shí)性動(dòng)詞和終止性動(dòng)詞在since引導(dǎo)的狀語從句中的用法：
（1）連詞since引導(dǎo)的復(fù)合句,如果從句后的謂語動(dòng)詞為延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞,那么謂語動(dòng)詞表示的時(shí)間從該動(dòng)作完成或結(jié)束算起; 雖然句子形式上是肯定句涎嚼，但翻譯時(shí)阱州，意思否定。
例：
——That was really a splendid evening. It’s years since I enjoyed myself so much. (我已多年沒有玩得如此開心法梯。)
——It has been a long time since I studied English. (我不學(xué)英語已經(jīng)好久了苔货。)
——He has written two books since he was ill. (他不生病后—-即他病好后已經(jīng)寫了兩本書了。)
（2）如果從句后的謂語動(dòng)詞為非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞,那么謂語動(dòng)詞表示的時(shí)間從該動(dòng)作發(fā)生后算起立哑。
例：
——It’s two years since he left his hometown. （他離開家鄉(xiāng)已經(jīng)兩年了夜惭。 ）
——It has been a long time since I saw you last. (上次見你后已經(jīng)過了好久)
