和咱们古人说的那样,君从何处来?但就这五个字本身也有歧义呀。用英文译应为WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?和英文中的 WHERE ARE YOU FROM ?或甚至说成 WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?从我个人语感中认为有所不同 WHERE ARE YOU FROM 的意思应该是你是哪里或是哪国人,而WHERE DO YOU COME FROM 更强调地是问你的出生地。因此别人要是问我 WHERE ARE YOU FROM ?我很自然地就回答:I’M FROM SHANGHAI 而问我 WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?我自然会回答:I COME FROM BEIJING,因为I WAS BORN IN BEIJING 如又有人问我,WHERE DID YOU COME FROM 我的回答势必是I CAME FROM MY BEDROOM,那才是我来自我的卧室,因为学过英语都应该知道COME是一个短暂性动词(MOMENTARY VERB)更加强调它的动作之不可延续性,又可以称它为瞬息动词,因此我昨天提过的 I’M FROM CHINA AND I’M CHINESE ,这样颇为滑稽的句子居然出现在初一课本中,这不显得有点荒唐吗?
