it is since句型翻译

1. It is some time(一段时间) + since引导的时间状语从句

= It has been some time(一段时间) + since引导的时间状语从句 该固定句型意思是“自从...以来已经多久时间了”。

2. 其中要求since引导的从句必须采用一般过去时，而主句是一般现在时或现在完成时。

3. 补充：该从句的谓语动词是瞬间性动词时，从句正常翻译； 而如果该从句的谓语动词是延续性动词作，从句必须作否定翻译。 如：It is two hours since he left the classroom. 自从他离开教室以来，已经两个小时了。 It is three years since he worked there. 自从他不在那儿工作以来，已经三年了。

例句：

1. It is / has been four days since I caught a cold. 我感冒已四天了。

2. It is / has been two weeks since we met last. 自从我们上次见面以来已过了两周。 我们会发现“It is +段时间＋since…..句型”在翻译成中文时，有绝然相反的两种意思，一是，“。。。。。做。。。有多长时间了。”另一是“。。。。。有多长时间没做。。。了。”怎样以简洁的讲解让学生明了。我的意思是：先让比较两个句子的意思（中英文对照）。如， It is five years since he became a soldier.他当兵已经五年了。 It is five years since he was a soldier..他不当兵已经五年了。

再如，

It is two weeks since he fell ill .他病了两星期了。 It is two weeks since he was ill. 他病愈两星期了。

让学生观察since 从句中动词的特点吧。第一种情况的动词是短暂性动词。表示从这点开始。而第二种则是状态性的，可延续的。 练一练：
