初识语法——在美文运用中体悟
The Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival was created in 2018.It is the first time that a national festival has been set up specially for farmers.① The festival is being celebrated annually to show the whole society's attention to Chinese farmers, who work hard to strengthen the country's development.② The festival also shows respect for traditional 24 solar terms which have been followed by Chinese people since about 2,200 years ago.③ The festival is very important to China and more attention has been paid to agriculture and farmers throughout history.④
句①:句型“It is the first time that ...”中谓语动词应用现在完成时,又因主语festival与谓语set up之间为被动关系,故使用现在完成时的被动语态。
句②:根据时间状语“annually”可知,应使用现在进行时的被动语态,既强调动作在现阶段正在发生,又表示被动关系。
句③:根据时间状语“since about 2,200 years ago”可知,应使用现在完成时的被动语态,既表示被动关系,又表示动作从过去一直持续到现在。
句④:根据时间状语“throughout history”可知,应使用现在完成时的被动语态,既表示被动关系,又表示时间上的延续性。
