标题[请益] 短文写作的时态问题
时间Tue Apr 6 11:13:12 2010
已经好久没碰英文了,最近重新接触感觉有点吃力.
今天我听了BBC的Words in The News後,想用自己的理解把文章浓缩写出来,完成後如下:
Pesioners accused of Kidnapping
Four Pensioners in Germany are accused for kidnapping their financial advisor
for four days. In Germany, people can complain to the regulators if they feel
that their pesion is messed up in a investment by the finanial advisor. But
those four bavarian Pensioners used a more directly way to show their anger.
The pensioners have followed the direction of the financial adviosr to invest
a US proporty market, but thus lost much of their money in the investment. They
therefor kidnapped the advisor outside his house and sent him to a lakeside
retreat in Bavarian and locked him in a cellar. After the Advisor promised the
pensioners to pay their money back, they agreed to release him and letted him
fax to Switzerland to gather the money. But they didn't know that the Advisor
also secretly call out for rescue. In the court the pensioners alleged that they
just wanted to give the Advisor Holidays in Bavarian.
这个新闻里我觉得有几个时间点:
1.退休者在法庭被起诉
2.退休者绑架financial advisor
3.退休者按advisor的建议投资失败
我第一句用现在式是因为这个案子还在诉讼中
而最後的"the pensioners alleged that..."那句用过去式是因为他们已经为自己辩解过
了.但变成同样在法庭中出现里个时态耶...
而且中间我不是很确定哪边该用过去式哪边该用完成式.
其实时态一直是我长期以来英文写作的一大困扰.我觉得好难区分喔...
不好意思麻烦各位帮我解惑了,谢谢!
