I'm Alice Bryant.

我是愛麗絲-布萊恩特

Do you ever get annoyed about something a person does or says often?

你有沒有為一個人經常做的事或說的話而煩惱？

Well, we are all human, so more than likely, the answer is yes.

嗯，我們都是人，所以更有可能，答案是肯定的。

Sometimes English speakers use a continuous verb form to express annoyance about a repeated action or have it continuous.

有時英語使用者會用連續動詞形式來表達對重複動作的惱怒，或者讓它連續。

Verbs are formed with the verb B plus a verb that ends in I N.

動詞是用動詞B加動詞I N結尾構成的。

G.

G.

Like this, he is looking at his phone.

像這樣，他在看手機。

You are asking for money in these examples.

在這些例子中，你是要錢的。

The continuous verb form does not suggest anything unpleasant.

連續的動詞形式並沒有暗示什麼不愉快的事情。

It simply states fax.

它只是簡單地說明了傳真。

But when used with an adverb such as always or constantly, it shows that something happens all the time and that thing is annoying.

但如果和副詞如always或constanting一起使用，則表明有事情一直在發生，而且那件事很煩人。

Here's what I mean.

這就是我的意思。

He is always looking at his phone.

他總是在看手機。

I never see him reading books.

我從來沒有看到他看書。

You are constantly asking for money.

你一直在向我要錢

Sorry, I can't help this time.

對不起，這次我幫不上忙。

Notice that in both examples, the speakers put the adverb between the B verb and the I N G verb.

注意，在這兩個例子中，說話人都把副詞放在B動詞和I N G動詞之間。

We can also use the past continuous to express annoyance about past behavior like this.

我們也可以用過去的連詞來表達對過去行為的惱怒，比如這樣。
