1) 过去进行时表示过去正在进行的动作, 而 一般过去时则表示一个完整的动作。如： They were writing letters to their friends last night. 昨晚他们在写信给他们的朋友。 ( 没有说 明信是否写完 ) They wrote letters to their friends last night. 他们昨晚写了信给他们的朋友。 ( 表达 了他们已写好的意思, 整个写的过程已完 成。 )

2) 当动作延续较长时间时或表示厌烦、赞美等感 情色彩时, 常用过去进行时表示。如： He was thinking more of others than of himself. 他考虑别人的比考虑自己的多。 ( 表示说 话者赞扬的口气 ) The boy was always making trouble then. 那时, 他总是惹麻烦。 ( 表示说话者厌烦的口气） 3. I was getting out of the shower. 我正洗完澡出来。 “get out” 出来,get out of … 从 … 出来

(1) “ 当 … 的时候 ”, 如后面连接的动词为进行时 态, 则用 while 多于用 when 。而 when 通常与瞬 间性动词或延续性不强的动词连用。 (2) 如果 while 前后的动词都是进行时态,while 可译为 “ 与此同时 ” I was reading while my brother was drawing. (3) 当 while 前后的句子描述的情况相对或相 反,while 可译为 “ 而 ”,while 更强调并列的对比而 非转折。 e.g. I am out-going while my sister is quiet and shy.

总之,when 表示做某种动作的时间或瞬间, 由其引导的时间状语的时态如果是一般过去 时, 其主句通常要用过去进行时。 while 表示略 长的一段时间, 由其引导的时间状语从句用过 去进行时, 而主句时态根据实际情况而定。
