Trees grow more quickly in summer than in winter. Liz plays the violin brilliantly. 2. 现在进行时用来描述已经开始，但在说话时尚未结束的特定行为或事件： The car isn’t starting again. ‘who are you phoning?’ ‘I’m trying to get through to joan.’ The shop is so inefficient that many customers are taking their business elsewhere. At the moment, at present, currently, just 和 still 等表示时间的单词和短语常被用来强调某个行为或事件正在进 行： ‘Have you done the shopping?’ ‘I’m just going.’ 注意，这个行为或事件可能并不是在说话的时候正在进行： The police are talking to a number of people about the robbery. 3. 一般现在时用来描述人们的习惯或经常发生的事情： I leave worl at 5:30 most days. Each july we go to turkey for a holiday. 但是，描述说话时正在进行的重复性的动作或者重复性发生的事情时用现在进行时： We usually watch the news on TV at 9:00.（我们在 9点开始看电视新闻）和 We’re usually watching the news on TV at 9:00.（9 点时我们已经在看电视新闻） 4. 现在进行时用来暗示某种情况是、或者可能是暂时性的。试比较： Banks lend money to make a profit.（经常发生的事）和 Banks are lending more money(these days)to encourage businesses to expand.（暗示这是一种暂时性的安排） She teaches maths in a school in bonn.（长久的安排）和 She’s teaching maths in a school in bonn.（暗示这不是或可能不是长久性的安排） 5. 一般现在是用于施为动词（当说话人使用它们时，这些动词明确说明说话人的行为）： I admit I can’t see as well as I used to.（承认） I refuse to believe that he didn’t know the car was stolen.（拒绝） 类似的动词还包括：accept, acknowledge, advise, apologise, assume, dent, guarantee, hope, inform, predict, promise, recommend, suggest, suppose, warn. 情态动词和施为动词连用可以使语言表达得更加委婉和礼貌： I would advise you to arrive two hours before the flight leaves. I’m afraid I have to inform you that your application for funding has been turned down. 文章来源：http://www.swten.com/more.php?u=news&i=148
