将来进行时
Hi John, what are you thinking about today?
嗨，约翰，你今天在想什么？
Do you remember Ted?
你还记得泰德吗？
Oh yes--that funny student who always slept in class.
哦，记得——那个总是在课堂上睡觉的有趣的学生。
Right! That's the guy. I bet if I call him in 1 minute, he will be sleeping.
没错！就是那个家伙。我敢说，如果我在1分钟内给他打电话，他会在睡觉。
I can surprise him with a grammar question.
我可以用一个语法问题让他大吃一惊。
He will think he's having a nightmare!
他会以为他在做噩梦！
Does this call to Ted have a link with grammar, aside from asking him a question?
除了问他一个问题之外，打给泰德的这通电话与语法有关吗？
It does! We use the term aspect to describe whether a verb's action is completed or not.
有！我们用“体”这个词来描述动词的动作是否完成。
When an action is ongoing, or not completed, we say the verb is continuous or progressive.
当一个动作正在进行（即未完成）时，我们说动词是进行时。
So you will be calling Ted--even though you think he will be sleeping?
所以你会给泰德打电话——即使你认为他会在睡觉？
That's right--and you just used the future continuous--future refers to time and continuous refers to the action continuing.
没错，你刚才用的是将来进行时——将来指的是时间，而进行时指的是动作继续进行。
Well, at least until we interrupt Ted's sleep.
至少在我们打断泰德睡觉之前。
Well, let's give him a call right now.
那我们现在就给他打个电话吧。
I'm afraid I will not be making a new friend, though.
不过，恐怕我不会交到一个新朋友了。
Hello. Ted! Dr. Jill has a question for you.
你好。泰德！吉尔博士有个问题要问你。
Ted, can you give me an example of the future continuous?
泰德，你能给我举个将来进行时的例子吗？
And that's Everyday Grammar.
以上就是今天的《每日语法》。
