現在進行式

In today's video, we're going to look at a little bit of grammar, and more specifically, we're going to look at the two verbs, will and would.

在今天的視頻中，我們將學習一些文法知識，更具體地說，我們將學習 will 和 would 這兩個動詞。

And the reason I'm focusing only on these two verbs is because people often mix up when to use one or the other.

我之所以只關注這兩個動詞，是因為人們經常會弄混什麼時候該用其中一個，什麼時候該用另一個。

So, it's very important that you understand the function, the functions of each word, and see how they're used in actual sentences to understand why you choose one and not the other.

是以，瞭解每個單詞的功能和作用，看看它們在實際句子中是如何使用的，從而理解為什麼要選擇其中一個而不是另一個，這一點非常重要。

So, let's look at, first of all, the actual functions of these words.

是以，我們首先來看看這些詞的實際功能。

And keep in mind that in some cases, would is actually the past tense of will.

請記住，在某些情況下，would 其實是 will 的過去式。

不過，我馬上就會說到這一點。

So, first of all, when we use will, we're talking about the future, always.

是以，首先，當我們使用 "意願 "時，我們談論的永遠是未來。

And we're looking at something that's either a fact, although technically you can't say anything about the future is fact because we don't know.

我們正在研究的東西要麼是事實，要麼是未來，雖然從技術上講，你不能說任何關於未來的東西都是事實，因為我們不知道。

The better way to think of it is it's a real possibility.

更好的想法是，這是一種真實的可能性。

Facts, until they actually happen, you don't know.

事實，在真正發生之前，你是不知道的。

Would, on the other could have been different, but wasn't.

另一方面，"會 "本可以是不同的，但卻不是。

When I give you the example sentence, you'll understand what I mean.

我給你舉個例子，你就會明白我的意思。

Mostly, the most common use of would is to talk about something that is hypothetical.

大多數情況下，"會 "的最常見用法是用來談論假設的事情。

Hypothetical basically means it's not real.

假設的基本意思是它不是真實的。

And again, when we see examples, you'll understand.

再說一遍，當我們看到例子時，你就會明白了。

So, we call this indirect reported speech.

是以，我們稱之為間接報告語。

Somebody said something to me, I'm telling you what that person said.

有人對我說了些什麼，我把他說的話告訴你。

And in this case, would acts as the past tense of will.

在這裡，would 是 will 的過去式。

And we're going to see examples of that as well.

So, let's start with a couple of sentences here.

那麼，讓我們從這裡的幾句話開始吧。

So, my wife and I are talking, we're worried about our son.

所以，我和妻子正在商量，我們很擔心我們的兒子。

Our son is going to university in a different city.

我們的兒子要去另一個城市上大學。

And my wife is worried that he'll be very lonely.

And I say, don't worry, he will make many new friends at school.

我說，別擔心，他會在學校交到很多新朋友的。

Maybe he won't make many new friends at school.

也許他在學校交不到幾個新朋友。

It's unlikely, but it's definitely a real possibility.

這種可能性不大，但確實存在。

Based on his character, based on his history, most likely this is what will happen.

根據他的性格和歷史，很可能會發生這種情況。

Now, there's two ways I need to complete this sentence.

現在，我需要用兩種方式來完成這句話。

He would make new friends at school is not a complete sentence because of this word would.

他將在學校結交新朋友 "這個句子並不完整，因為有 "將 "這個詞。

As soon as you see this word, you know that something is not true, is not real.

一看到這個詞，你就知道有些東西不是真的，不是真實的。

So, he would make new friends means now no new friends.

所以，他會結交新朋友，也就是說，現在沒有新朋友了。

So, whenever you see a sentence that uses would as the helping verb to the main verb, right away you understand that now, whatever follows is actually not true, is not the case.

是以，每當你看到一個句子使用 "會 "作為主動詞的助動詞時，你馬上就會明白，現在，無論後面的內容是什麼，其實都是不正確的，都不是事實。

He would make new friends if he went out more.

如果他多出去走走，就能交到新朋友。

So, right now he just sits in his room, he goes to class and then goes and sits in his dorm room all day and doesn't come out.

所以，現在他只是坐在自己的房間裡，去上課，然後整天坐在寢室裡不出來。

So, obviously he's not making new friends.

So, if he went out, and I'm using an unreal conditional here, if plus simple past verb, if he went out, he would make new friends.

所以，如果他出去了，我在這裡用的是虛幻條件式，如果加上簡單過去式動詞，如果他出去了，他就會交到新朋友。

Or, he would make new friends at school, comma, but he doesn't go out much.

或者，他會在學校結交新朋友，逗號，但他不常出門。

Here, I'm using the but to show a contrast, and I'm using the present verb to show you what the actual situation is now.

在這裡，我用 "但是 "來表示對比，用現在動詞來表示現在的實際情況。

Now, technically I can go straight from school to but, but even if I do this, this is where it gets a little confusing.

現在，從技術上講，我可以直接從學校轉到學校，但即使我這樣做了，情況也會變得有點混亂。

This is understood, I just don't need to say it.

這一點大家都明白，我只是沒必要說出來。

I'm going to give you the whole, full sentence.

He would make many new friends at school if he went out more, but he doesn't go out much, so he doesn't make new friends.

如果他多出去走走，就能在學校交到很多新朋友，但他不常出門，所以交不到新朋友。

That's a lot of words that don't all need to be expressed.

說了這麼多，其實並不需要都表達出來。

I can just take this out completely and just go to this conclusion.

我可以把這個完全拿掉，然後得出這個結論。

那麼，現在不交朋友，為什麼？

But the key here is I'm talking about unreal situation, hypothetical situation, now.

但關鍵在於，我現在說的是虛幻的情況，假設的情況。

Okay, we're going to look at some other examples to understand the other functions.

好了，下面我們來看一些其他例子，以瞭解其他功能。

Okay, so now I have a few more examples for you.

好了，現在我再給你們舉幾個例子。

They're not in any particular order, but I'll explain each one as we go.

它們沒有特定的順序，但我會逐一解釋。

So, now we're going to look at reported speech.

所以，現在我們來看看報告發言。

There's direct, and then there's indirect.

Direct reported speech will be inside quotation marks.

They could be happy, too, if you want them to be, but anyway.

如果你希望他們快樂，他們也可以快樂，但無論如何。

Quotation marks means this is exactly the words that the person used when he spoke to me, and now I'm telling it to somebody else, right?

引號的意思是，這正是那個人對我說的話，現在我把它講給別人聽，對嗎？

So, if I'm using a direct with the quote, I don't change anything.

是以，如果我使用直接引語，我不會做任何改動。

I take exactly the words that were given to me.

Now, in writing, you will notice there's a comma, quotation mark, everything, period, quotation mark.

現在，在寫作中，你會注意到有逗號、引號、一切、句號、引號。

So, this person said the words to me, and I'm more or less paraphrasing to the next person.

所以，這個人對我說的話，我或多或少都會轉述給下一個人。

所以，我想說，他說他會打電話的。

Now, that, because technically this is a noun clause, but most people just drop that.

現在，因為從技術上講這是一個名詞性分句，但大多數人都把它去掉了。

這就是我把它放在括號裡的原因。
