For forty
years Jane Goodall has been helping the rest of the world understand and
respect the life of these animals.40年来,简.古多尔帮助世人了解并开始尊重这些动物的生活。
has been
doing 是现在完成进行时。现在完成进行时与现在完成时是有区别的,前者说明动作从过去某段时间到现在一直进行着,而且有可能继续下去;后者强调的是一个完成的动作,用于说明动作的结果,而不是动作本身。如:
Ann
has been painting the ceiling.安一直在粉刷天花板。
Ann
has painted the ceiling.安把天花板粉刷完了。
She
has been smoking too much recently.她近来吸烟很厉害。
Someone
has smoked all my cigarettes.有人把我的香烟都抽光了。
the
rest of的后面可接可数名词复数,也可接不可数名词,但要注意其含义,以便决定后面动词的单复数形式。如:
The
rest of the money was given to his son.剩下的钱都给了他的儿子。
The
rest of the sailors were missing.其余的水手都失踪了。
The
rest of the apple was thrown away.那个苹果余下的部分被扔掉了。
The
rest of the apples were sent to the nursing home.剩下的那些苹果被送到养老院去了。
