关于进行时 breaking the
window的说法, 很多网友认为是错的, 因为瞬间动词break的缘故,我认为英语思维不是这样。
我在外网找了几个典型例句,以及在一家美国答疑网站碰巧找到一个中国学生问的关于break the window 的问题,如下:
美国英语答疑网站:https://hinative.com/en-US/questions/14228195
外国老师的回答:Okay, so if you said, "Look! Somebody had broken that window," that means someone already broken the window. If you say, "Look! Somebody has been breaking that window," that implies the whole window isn't totally broken yet and someone is breaking it over time.
外媒例句:
1. Are vandals breaking windows in your Sydney home or business premises?
2.CNN: Rioters are breaking windows at the US Capitol.
3. Grahame March has released CCTV footage of the man breaking the window on Saturday.
4. A video posted online appears to show several officers breaking windows during the weekend protests.
5. Man seen breaking window amid Capitol riots has been arrested (文章题目)
我不知大家怎么来理解这些句子?我认为都是正确的,希望对大家有所帮助。
