    " ]* @" C$ e8 N+ [8 T2 M0 C“过去时”和“过去进行时”当然是两个时态,但在一些特定语境中,是否有这么一种说法,说这两种时态可以等价互换,而不影响句意?: g0 U5 V/ p% H) n2 t+ h' L2 _
      v( c* y1 X0 e& s- e/ t+ o
    比如:
    2 ~( x7 S5 v8 B: f0 ~On the shore of the lake, twelve boats waited for them. Out of each boat rose a shadowy figure to take the hand of the princess who came to him and help her into the boat. I paused almost too long, trying to see the faces of the richly dressed men who were pushing the boats into the water.../ p- l) U* \" B  g2 L
    2 h  w8 D8 X2 N$ B4 \  E' S
    此句中的wait原文作者用的是一般过去时。但能否等价为 were waiting for them?

    Grammatically speaking, in this case both "the boats waited for them" and "the boats were waiting for them" are correct, but maybe with slight differences. I would say in many contexts they are almost exchangeable; it often depends on what the author wishes to stress on. . q$ @; k" L6 d( Q" t$ q

    过去时表示动作已经完成。3 v( i5 ]* g* D( V! C7 X
    进行时是表示在语境中的时间段,动作正在持续进行,强调该动作持续存在。可以用于作为背景的次要事件,表示与主要事件一起发生。
