find 通常不用于進行時態,但偶爾也可見到它用于進行時態的例子,主要用于表示看法或意見(to have a particular feeling or opinion about sth),尤其用于后接復合復賓語的句式。如:
He was finding the river lonesome. 他發現這條河很偏僻。
He is finding his new work far more exciting. 他發覺自己的新工作令人興奮得多。
Old habits die hard, and I’m finding it difficult to give up smoking. 積習難改,我發現要戒煙很難。
The children are finding it hard to adapt to the new school. 孩子們發現很難適應新學校的生活。
Local firms are finding it difficult to compete in the international market. 當地公司發現很難在國際市場競爭。
My brother has never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting. 我弟弟以前從未出過國,因此,他覺得這次旅行非常激動人心。
其實,以上各例不用進行時態也可以(可換成一般現在時或一般過去時),但用進行時態有時含有“漸漸”“越來越”之意。如:
He was finding it increasingly difficult to make decisions. 他發現越來越難以作出決定。
The small shopkeeper is finding life increasingly difficult. 小店主發現日子越來越不好過了。
I was finding it increasingly difficult to keep my temper. 我發現越來越難控制住自己的脾氣了。 回復時間:
