See & Hear: How to use verbs of perception
看与听:感知动词的用法
Hi! Saskia for BBC Learning English here, and today I'm going to tell you about how we use verbs of perception in English.
大家好!这里是萨斯基亚的BBCw88中文学习频道,今天我要告诉大家的是,我们如何在w88中文中使用感知动词。
There are a number of these verbs but I'm just going to look at two with you now: see and hear.
有许多这样的动词,但我现在要和你们一起看两个:看和听。
When we use these verbs, this is the form:
当我们使用这些动词时,它的形式是:
First, the verb of perception.
首先,感知动词。
Then, the object of the sentence.
然后是句子的宾语。
Then we have either the infinitive without to or the -ing form.
然后我们有不带to的不定式和-ing形式。
Here's an example: I heard him go down the stairs.
举个例子:我听见他下楼了。
Or: I heard him going down the stairs.
或者我听见他在下楼。
There's a slight difference between these two forms:
这两种形式略有不同:
When we use the infinitive, it suggests that we hear or see the whole action or event.
当我们使用不定式时,它表示我们听到或看到整个动作或事件。
Using the -ing form suggests that we hear or see something in progress.
使用-ing形式表示我们听到或看到某事正在进行。
'I saw her cross the street' means I saw her cross from one side to the other.
“我看见她在对面马路”的意思是我看到她从一边过到另一边。
'I saw her crossing the street' means I saw her in the middle - on the way across.
“我看见她正在过马路”意思是我看到她在马路中间——在过马路的路上。
