在面试中讲述经历
能讲述自己的工作经历,并能在现在完成时和一般过去时之间作出选择。
标注的核心时长。核心模块中有两项未标注时长,因此实际课时比总和更长。
语法
5 分钟两种时态都说过去的事,但回答的是不同的问题。
| Present Perfect(现在完成时) | Past Simple(一般过去时) |
|---|---|
| 一生中有没有过 | 在某个时候发生过什么 |
| I have worked in a hotel. | I worked in a hotel in 2019. |
| She has lived in three countries. | She lived in Italy for two years, then came back. |
| 经历、结果、和现在有联系 | 过去一段已经结束的事 |
一条马上就能用的规则:句子里一旦说出了事情发生的时间,就不能用现在完成时。
| 说出了时间 → 一般过去时 | 没说时间 → 现在完成时 |
|---|---|
| yesterday, in 2019, last week, two years ago, when I was a student | ever, never, before, already, in my life, so far |
for + 一段时间不是说出时间点,两种时态都能用:事情已经结束——I worked there for two years;一直持续到现在——I've worked here for two years(第5课)。
典型的谈话顺序:先用现在完成时,再用一般过去时讲细节:
Have you ever worked with children?
Yes, I have. I worked in a school for two years — from 2018 to 2020. I taught English and I liked it very much.
第一个问题问的是有没有这种经历;后面的话都和具体时间联系在一起,所以用一般过去时。
中文母语者的常见错误
已针对你的语言编写说出了时间还用完成时。
✗ I have worked there in 2019
✓ I worked there in 2019
。汉语的“过”可以和时间连用:“我2019年在那儿工作过”,于是就说成 have worked。这是本课最主要的错误。
有了时间词,动词却不变。
✗ I work in a hotel in 2019
✓ I worked in a hotel in 2019
。汉语靠“2019年”“去年”表示过去,动词本身不变;英语的时间词代替不了过去式。
问经历用 Did you ever…?。
✗ Did you ever work with children?——意思能懂(美国人这么说),但在英国英语里问经历用现在完成时 → ✓ Have you ever worked with children?
说已去世的人用完成时。
✗ My grandfather has worked as a doctor
✓ worked
。 “我爷爷当过医生”里的“过”会把人引向完成时;可他的一生已经结束,和现在没有联系。
发音
3 分钟区别全在助动词上,而助动词不重读——所以听起来很不明显:
| I've worked there. | /aɪv ˈwɜːkt/ |
| I worked there. | /aɪ ˈwɜːkt/ |
唯一的依据是一个短短的 /v/。普通话的音节不以 /v/ 结尾,这个音自己说的时候也容易丢掉。所以听母语者说话,区别往往要靠意思来判断:句子里有没有说出时间。
课文
3 分钟Have you ever worked in a hotel?
Yes, I have. I worked in a small hotel in Italy for two years.
When was that?
From 2018 to 2020. I left when the company closed.
Have you ever managed a team?
No, I haven't. But I have worked with a lot of different people.

小结
本课已学:初步区分现在完成时和一般过去时,“说出时间就用一般过去时”这条规则,谈论经历时的说话顺序。下一课——第21课:谈学习。

写作
写五句话,讲讲你的工作经历:一般有过什么经历,具体什么时候做过什么。
范例: I have worked for three companies. I worked in a hotel in Italy for two years, from 2018 to 2020. I have never managed a team, but I have worked with a lot of different people. In 2021 I worked in a shop for six months. I have always liked working with people.
检查清单:说出了时间的地方,用的是一般过去时吗?没说时间的经历,用的是现在完成时吗?
