VOA 《Let's hop on our bikes: US kids get active during times of covid》
"We were all pretty much bored with covid, because we couldn't do many things.
We would just come outside and play and bike around and then eventually more and more kids some joined us from up the
street."
以上是一个美国孩子面对记者采访时说的。
请教老师:We would just come outside...中would是表示过去的习惯吗?(有点像used to)
就是说,在过去某一阶段,常常做某事 ?
另外,顺便请教老师from up the street 中为何from up 可以2个介词连用呢?
1 关于would, 是的,这个would表示过去的习惯动作。
2 from这个介词有的特殊,它不但可将来接名词作宾语,还可将来接地址副词作宾语,比如from here,from there,from where, from above, from underneath等。介词短语具备副词性和形容词性,所以其副词性可以让表示地址的介词短语作from的宾语,比如from behind the door, from under the bed等。刘老师的讲解是这里省略了somewhere, 即from somewhere behind the door. 无论如何讲解,总之你要了解from可将来接副词和介词短语。我相信这绝不是你首次见到from后接介词短语,为何要大惊小怪呢?
