Ask & Learn闻问切英语口语:have been living

I have been living in Hong Kong for ten years和I have lived in Hong Kong for ten years有什么分别?

英文里有一些动词,习惯不用现在分词,例如:like、care、love等,live也属此例。

譬如:

I like basketball.

I love you.

采用-ing,主要是加强语气。说I am liking basketball,就是意味以前不喜欢。说I am loving you,恐怕是对方说你一点都不关心他,所以才要强调现在都是爱的表现。

所以,I have been living in Hong Kong for ten years和I have lived in Hong Kong for ten years可以说是完全没有分别。若真要分辨,前者可能是要强调过去十年分毫不动住在香港。

现时某餐厅的广告口号是 "I am loving it",说实在,听来有点怪怪的。
