下班的英語(三)
主要是leave這個動詞是一個「動作」而不是「狀況」,一旦離開就離開了,不是幾個月間一直重覆離開這個動作。
類似的例句如下:
★ 我買這輛車三年了。
(錯)I have bought the car for three years.
(對)I bought the car three years ago.
★ 我去倫敦時遇到一位老朋友。
(錯)I met an old friend when I went to London.
(對)I met an old friend when I was in London.
★ 我已經加入公司五年了。
(錯)I have joined the company for five years.
(對)I joined the company five years ago.
(對)I have been with the company for five years.
