45、能持续下去。如：We have been waiting for him for two hours. 我们等他等了两个小时。现在完成时强调动作的完成，而现在完成进行时强调动作的延续，因此，表示动作的完成，只能用现在完成时，而不能用现在完成进行时。如：He has changed his idea. 他改变了想法。在表示动作的延续时，虽然既可用现在完成时，也可用现在完成进行时，但现在完成进行时强调动作的进行。因此在需要明确表示动作还要持续下去时，应用现在完成进行时。如：We have been studying here for two years. 我们在这儿已经学习了两年了。有些延续性动词

46、(如 keep, learn, live, stay, study, work等)，用于现在完成时或现在完成进行时的区别不大。如：I have lived here for many years.=I have been living here for many years. 我在这儿住了多年了。Ann: Wow! It seems strange, but I guess theres really no reason for your employees to come to work in an office. Andrea: Not at all Now, what about thi

47、s job interview I was supposed to be conducting here?
