这就是谈论千禧桥的关键点。在泰晤士河的北边我们有圣保罗座堂，

Paul's Cathedral, built in the 1600s. A long time in the past, right? So St Paul's Cathedral

泰特现代艺术馆是一所现代艺术品展览馆，开放于2000年。因此对我来说它代表着

that tip from a very wise teacher who I used to work with called Jo Greenyer. Genius stuff.

这个小技巧是我从一位非常聪明的老师那里学来的，他也曾是我的工作伙伴，叫做Jo Greenyer。真是位天才

Now let's put the present perfect into some example sentences to show you that balance

现在让我们把现在完成时放入到例句中来向你们展示

between the past and the present and how it links he two together. So how do we form the

这种过去与现在的平衡，并且它是如何连接2者。那么我们如何构建

present perfect? Let's have a look. The structure of the present perfect is have or has plus

现在完成时态？让我们来看看。 现在完成时结构就是HAVE或者HAS加上

the past participle. That's the third verb. So for example eat, ate, eaten, eaten is the

过去分词，也就是动词的第三种形式。举例来说，EAT, ATE, EATEN,

one we want. Or sing , sang, sung, sung is the verb that we want so it's the past participle.

EATEN就是我们要的动词形式。或者SING, SANG, SUNG,SUNG就是我们需要的过去分词。

In the negative we use have or has and then not and then the past participle. Often we

在否定式中我们用HAVE或者HAS之后加上NOT再加上过去分词。通常我们

contract the negative so it's haven't or hasn't. You can also use never so 'I have never been

使用否定式的缩写形式HAVEN'T或者'HASN'T。你们也可以使用NEVER，如'I have never been

to Italy, Or 'She has never gone to Sweden' for example. So the negative can be formed

to Italy, 或者'She has never gone to Sweden'. 因此否定形式

in two different ways. Question forms we put the auxiliary at the beginning so it's have

有2种不同结构。问句形式中我们把助动词放在开头，那么就是HAVE

then the subject and then the past participle. So 'Have you ever been to China?' That's how

之后加上主语再加上过去分词。例如'Have you ever been to China?' 这就是

we form the question. The answer to the question would be yes, I have or No, I haven't. One

现在完成时的疑问结构。对于它的回答可以是yes, I have 或者No, I haven't.

of the most common uses of the present perfect is to talk about our life experiences and

现在完成时最常用的情况是在谈论我们的人生经历以及

to link the past with the present . So for example 'I've lived in Spain, Argentina and

对我们现在造成的影响。举例来说，' I've lived in Spain, Argentina and

Hong Kong.' I'm using the present perfect there I have lived, ok? I have lived and those

Hong Kong.' 这里我用现在完成时' I have lived'。'I have lived'表示

situations all happened in the past, they are part of my life experience and possibly

这些情境都发生在过去，他们都是我人生经历，而且可能

I might go on to live in other countries. So they are past experiences that are still

我也会去其他国家生活。那么这些情境都是过去的经历，现在也仍然是

true now, it's still true now that I have had these experiences. The time period we

真实的，我拥有这些经历（在多个地方生活）到现在仍然是真的。

are looking at here, my whole life. My entire life. One thing that's important to know about

在此我们关注的时间段是我的整个人生。我的全部人生时间。一个值得我们了解的

the present perfect is we usually don't say the time. We don't mention when something

关于现在完成时的重点是我们通常不明指时间。我们不说出事情在过去什么时间

happened. The experience could have happened at any time. So in that sentence 'I've lived

发生。这些经历可能发生在过去的任何时间。如在这句' I've lived

in Spain, Argentina and Hong Kong.' I don't tell you when. The idea that it's in my life

in Spain, Argentina and Hong Kong.'我并没有告诉你们是什么时候。只表明它存在我人生中

at some point but that's important to know. Now I'm going to do another lesson on this

某些时间点，但是知道它却很重要。现在我准备做另一期关于现在完成时的课程
