通过查阅资料和看网上各位nn的讨论,明白了c选项为什么用现在完成时,是为了表示在将来一个动作在将来另一个动作发生之前已经完成,即在将来游客参观公园这个动作之前trim这个动作已经完成,但是关于a选项一般现在时仍有一点不太明白,一般现在时可以表达经常性发生的事情,百度关于一般现在时的介绍 “经常发生的动作”,比如每天起床、吃饭、上学,一个星期去几次超市或新华书店等。这些事件中,有的是有规律的,有的是偶尔做几次。这些都算经常发生的事件。我们要告诉人们的,是这个动作经常发生,是一般的情况而不是具体的某一次。”
这里是manhattangmat一个instructor对为什么用现在完成时而不用一般现在时的说明 I think the use of "have been trimmed" rather than simple past tense "were trimmed" is to indicate that not only were the horns trimmed in the past but the animal tenders will also continue to trim the horns in the present to keep the horns short. Otherwise, after one trimming the horns could grow back to their previous size, and this growth would cause the animals to look the same as they did in the past. Thus, there would not need to be a concern about the impact of short horns on park attendance. This sentence appears to be describing a plan to trim the horns regularly to keep them short; thus, the trimming is ongoing.
看过这个说明之后更困惑了,既然trim是一个经常性发生的动作,那为什么不能用一般现在时呢??请nn指点
