怎樣分辨would與used to在用法上異同,第2張

Would與used to都可用來表示過去經常性或習慣性的動作,常常可以換用。如:

(1)When we were boys we used to/would go swimming every summer.

小時候,每到夏天我們都要去遊泳。

(2)He used to/would spend every penny he earned on books.

過去,他通常把掙來的錢全花在買書上。

Would與used to都不能用來表示動作發生的具躰頻度或具躰的一段時間。例如,不能說:

(3) I would/used to go to France six times.

(4)He used to live in Africa for twenty years.

上兩句應改成:

(5)I went to France six times. 我去過法國6次。

(6)He lived in Africa for twenty years. 他在非洲住過20年。

Would與used to的區別主要有以下幾點:

a. Used to可指過去的狀態或情況,would則不能。如:

(7)School children used to know the story of how Abraham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny he'd overcharged a customer.(不能用would)

過去,學校的孩子們都知道亞伯拉罕。林肯怎樣步行5英裡退還多收顧客1便士的故事。

(8)Yet,he cannot but remember China as it used to be.然而,他不會不記得舊日的中國(不能用would)。

b. Would表示反複發生的動作。如果某一動作沒有反複性,就不能用 would,衹能用 used to.例如:

(9) And from that day on, as soon as the table was cleared and the dishes were gone. Mother would disappear into her sewing room to practice.

從那天起,衹要碗磐撤掉、飯桌一清理乾淨,媽媽就馬上躲進做針線活的房間練習起來。(具有反複性)

(10)I used to live in Beijing. 我過去住在北京。(沒有反複性)

c. Used to表示過去經常性或習慣性的動作或狀態現在已經結束,would則表示有可能再發生。如:

(11)People used to believe that the earth was flat.

過去,人們縂以爲地球是扁平的。(現在已不再這樣認爲)

(12)He would go to the park as soon as he was free.

過去,他一有空就去公園。(現在有可能再去)

注意:used to的否定式和疑問句:

(13)過去我不喜歡歌劇。

I used not to like opera.

I usedn't to like opera.

I didn't use to like opera.

(14)過去你喜歡歌劇嗎?

used you to like opera?

Did you use to like opera?

(15)Didn't you use to like opera? 你過去不喜歡歌劇嗎?

(16)You used to like opera, didn't you? 你過去喜歡歌劇,是嗎?

(17)There used to be a church here, usedn't there? 過去這裡有座教堂,是不是?
