本期節(jié)目?jī)?nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介
首先讓我來(lái)回答你的問(wèn)題。No,你不可以用 'gone',你不可以說(shuō) I haven't gone to the movies for ages。如果你的意思是“我很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間都沒(méi)有去電影院看電影了”,那么正確的表達(dá)就是,No, I haven't been to the movies for ages。
句子里的 'the movies' 是美式英語(yǔ),表示電影院;在英式英語(yǔ)里用 the cinema。
《你問(wèn)我答》將根據(jù) Michael 的提問(wèn)重點(diǎn)探討兩個(gè)語(yǔ)言點(diǎn):第一, for ages 的用法;第二,have been to 和 have gone to 的區(qū)別。

大家好!歡迎收聽(tīng) BBC 英語(yǔ)教學(xué)節(jié)目《你問(wèn)我答》,我是楊莉。這是一檔為大家解答英語(yǔ)疑問(wèn)的節(jié)目。今天的問(wèn)題來(lái)自臺(tái)北的 Michael,是個(gè)語(yǔ)法問(wèn)題,我們一起看看他的問(wèn)題。

謝謝 Michael。首先讓我來(lái)回答你的問(wèn)題。No,你不可以用 'gone',你不可以說(shuō) I haven't gone to the movies for ages。如果你的意思是“我很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間都沒(méi)有去電影院看電影了”,那么正確的表達(dá)就是,No, I haven't been to the movies for ages。首先我要提示大家的是 'the movies' 是美式英語(yǔ),表示電影院;在英式英語(yǔ)里用 cinema。那么今天我們就來(lái)重點(diǎn)探討一下,第一, for ages 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的用法;第二,have been to 和 have gone to 的區(qū)別。
Yang Li
For ages 意思是“很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間以來(lái)”。類似短語(yǔ)還有 for months , for years, for a long time. 這些短語(yǔ)都要求句子使用完成時(shí)態(tài)。請(qǐng)大家聽(tīng)?zhēng)讉€(gè)句子,兩句是正確的;兩句是錯(cuò)誤的。
Examples
I've been to the movies for months.
這句話是錯(cuò)誤的。
I haven't been to the movies for months.
這句話語(yǔ)法正確,意思是我已經(jīng)有好幾個(gè)月沒(méi)去看電影了。
He's been to Shanghai for years.
這句話是錯(cuò)誤的。
He hasn't been to Shanghai for years.
這句話語(yǔ)法正確,意思是他已經(jīng)好多年沒(méi)去上海了。
Yang Li
接下來(lái)我們看看 been to 和 gone to 的區(qū)別。
To have been to a place 意思是曾經(jīng)去過(guò)某地,但現(xiàn)在人已經(jīng)回來(lái)了。因?yàn)楸硎镜氖沁^(guò)去的經(jīng)歷,所以不受人稱的限制。第一,第二和第三人稱都可以使用。請(qǐng)看例句:
Example
He's been to the movies a lot recently。You've been a couple of times too, but I haven't been for ages.
他最近總?cè)ル娪霸?。你也去過(guò)兩次,不過(guò)我很久都沒(méi)去了。
Yang Li
相比之下,to have gone to a place 意思是某人已經(jīng)離開(kāi)這里去別處了。所以,請(qǐng)大家記住 to have gone to a place 永遠(yuǎn)不能與第一人稱連用,不能說(shuō)我或者我們,因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)人不可能同時(shí)身處兩地?;氐?Michael 的問(wèn)題。I haven’t gone to the movies for ages。這句話就是錯(cuò)誤的了,就在于gone 這個(gè)詞使用的不當(dāng),應(yīng)該改為 have been to 就對(duì)啦。請(qǐng)聽(tīng)例句,注意 been to 和 gone to 的區(qū)別。
Examples
(friends)
a.How is your brother doing?
b.He's very well. He's gone to China to study Chinese.
a.Good for him. Have you been to China?
b.Yes, but it was a long time ago. I'd like to go there again.
(husband and wife)
a.Where are the kids? I can't see them.
b.They've all gone swimming.
a.Oh, I haven't been to the sports centre for months!
b.Why don't you come home early tomorrow so we can go together?
a.Good idea.

好了,通過(guò)以上的例句我們比較了 to have been to 和 to have gone to 的區(qū)別。再次感謝 Michael。也希望更多朋友提問(wèn)、分享、互動(dòng)。我們的郵箱是questions.chinaelt@bbc.co.uk 謝謝收聽(tīng)。我是楊莉,下次的《你問(wèn)我答》節(jié)目再會(huì)!
