有一读者问如何做这道选择题:
(1)She's waiting for her mother at the bus stop_________6 o'clock.
A. at B. since C. for D. as
这道选择题可有两个答案。一是A ,全句意谓“她6点钟在公共汽车站等她的母亲”(这可能是命题人所要求的答案);一是B,全句意谓“她从6点钟起就在公共汽车站等她的母亲”。请注意,现在进行时(或过去进行时)与 since (自从)连用时,强调其动作仍在进行。再如:
(2)There he is working as a doctor since the 1970s.
(3)Now, since when are you giving me orders?
顺便提一下,现在完成进行时也常与 since 连用,但其动作不一定正在进行,而且强调 since ,如:
(4)He's been shaving since last year.
他是从去年起开始刮脸的。
