一般现在时
一般现在时态并非表示“现在”。
确切地说,一般现在时本质的思维特征是:表示从过去到现在 直至将来的一段时间内发生的动作(action)或存在的状态(state)
不受时间限制的科学事实、客观真理、谚语格言,以及用于概括、结论、观点等;
表示人们日常生活习惯及重复活动
因此,一般现在时态通常被描述为有两种基本用法:表示客观真理,以及表示习惯活动。具体来说:
客观真理/事实
经常性的重复活动
图解
表示普遍的事实或真理
1
客观真理/事实
表示不受时间限制的科学事实、客观真理、谚语格言,以及用于概括、结论、观点等。此时,这些动作或状态的发生不限于某个特定的时间,也即它们可发生于任何时间,包括现在、过去和将来。

思考一下?
如果是下面这个故事,你会用什么时态来表达?
农夫和他的毛驴
一天,一个农夫的一头驴掉进了一口深井里。一连几个小时,这头驴在井里哀号
着,而农夫也在盘算着该怎么办。最终,考虑到这头驴已经老了,救它不值得,况且这口 井正好也需要封起来,因此他决定就干脆把驴埋在井里。于是,他请来所有的街坊邻居过 来帮他封井。所有的人都来了,大家手里拿着铁铲,开始把土往井里铲,来填埋这口井。
刚开始,这头驴明白了这个情形后,开始痛哭起来。后来,它就没动静了,这让大家感觉 甚是奇怪。铲了几锹土之后,这个农夫开始往井里看,结果让他大为震惊:这头驴会把落 在它背上的每铲土都抖掉,然后踩在土上向上登一步。就这样,随着大家继续铲土,这头 驴就继续把土抖掉,然后向上登一步。很快,这头老驴越过了井沿,爬了上来,然后快步跑开了!
生活也是如此,它会往你身上撒各种“脏土”。要想从这口井里逃出来,秘诀就是抖
落身上的尘土,向上迈进一步。每一个困难都是我们成长的垫脚石,只要我们从不停息、 永不放弃,我们最终都能走出深井。唯一的办法就是:抖落尘土,向上迈进!
请谨记下面五个快乐法则: 1.心无仇恨。 2.胸无焦虑。 3.生活简单。 4.积极奉献。 5.不要贪求。
The Farmer and the Donkey
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to
getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our
troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by
not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!
Remember the five simple rules to be happy: 1.Free your heart from hatred. 2.Free your mind from worries. 3.Live simply. 4.Give more. 5.Expect less.
