II. 意义和用法
◇现在完成进行时表示从过去开始一直延续到现在的动作,该动作在说话时仍在继续进行,而且可能还要继续下去。
◇现在完成进行时还可以表示从过去到现在的一段时间被反复进行的动作或存在的状态。
◇现在完成进行时常与表示一段时间的状语连用,例如:all the time, this week, all night, these few days, for..., since...等。例如:A private detective has been tailing him for several weeks.
表示持续的状态。
强调反复进行的动作。
Present perfect continuous

1. 在不用时间状语的情况下,现在完成进行时的动作不一定已经完成,很可能持续下去,而现在完成时一般表示动作已经完成。即现在完成进行时强调动作的延续性,而现在完成时强调动作的结果。例如:
① I’ve been designing solar racing cars. 我一直在设计太阳能赛车。
② I’ve designed five or six different cars. 我已经设计五六辆不同的小汽车了。
2. 现在完成进行时往往表示动作在重复,而现在完成时一般不表示动作的重复。例如:
① I’ve been taking part in races for four years. 我这四年一直在参加比赛。
② How many races have you taken part in? 你参加多少场比赛了?
3. 现在完成进行时与所有进行时态一样带有感情色彩,可使表达显得生动,而现在完成时往往只表明一个事实、一种影响或结果,不带感情色彩。例如:
What have you been doing? You look fed up. 你一直在干什么呀?你看上去很不高兴。
III. 现在完成进行时与现在完成时的区别
