关于这篇文章

背景

英文有两种常用的动词时态：现在简单式描述习惯或规律，例如「我每天七点起床」；现在进行式描述现在正在发生的事，例如「我现在正在走路」。两者的差别在于一个说「平时怎么做」，另一个说「现在在做什么」。本篇以 Kevin 的上学早晨为情境，让你通过故事自然感受这两种时态的使用时机。

• Kevin 每天和好友 Mia 一起走路上学
• 今天 Mia 生病，Kevin 独自一人走去学校
• 妈妈正在帮他准备特别的午餐
• 今天虽然奇怪，Kevin 仍然微笑着向前走

English

Kevin always walks to school with his best friend, Mia. Every morning, he gets up at seven o'clock, eats breakfast with his family, and listens to music on the way. He usually arrives at school before eight and talks with his classmates before class.

But today is different. Mia is sick and stays at home. Kevin is walking to school alone now, and he feels a little lonely without her. His mom is also making him a special lunch right now because Kevin has a big English test this afternoon.

Kevin knows today is not the same as usual. It feels a little strange, but he smiles and walks faster. He thinks, "Mia will be back tomorrow, and everything will be normal again."

中文翻译

Kevin 每天都和他最好的朋友 Mia 一起走路上学。每天早上，他七点起床，和家人一起吃早餐，然后一路听着音乐。他通常在八点前到达学校，并在上课前和同学聊天。

但今天不一样。Mia 生病，待在家里。Kevin 现在正在独自走路上学，没有她在旁边，他觉得有点寂寞。他的妈妈也正在帮他准备一份特别的午餐，因为 Kevin 今天下午有一场重要的英文考试。

Kevin 知道今天和平时不一样。这感觉有点奇怪，但他微笑着，走得更快了。他心想：「Mia 明天就会回来，一切都会恢复正常的。」

always / usually + 動詞原形 S + always/usually/every day + 動詞原形（第三人稱單數加 -s） 现在简单式用来描述「习惯性或规律发生的动作」，常搭配 always（总是）、usually（通常）、every morning（每天早上）等频率副词。主词为第三人称单数（he／she／it）时，动词后缀需加 -s 或 -es。

S + be + V-ing S + am/is/are + 動詞-ing 现在进行式用来描述「现在正在进行的动作」，常搭配 now（现在）、right now（就在此刻）等时间副词。be 动词依主词变化：I → am、he/she/it → is、you/we/they → are，动词后缀加 -ing。

But today is different. But today + be + 形容詞 「但今天不一样」是常用的转折句，用来对比「平常的习惯（现在简单式）」和「今天的特殊状况（现在进行式）」。But 放句首表示转折，today 点明是今天，different 说明有所不同；后面接着说明今天哪里不一样。
