WHEREAREYOUFROMWHEREAREYOUFROMWHEREAREYOUFROM和咱们古人说的那样,君从何处来?但就这五个字本身也有歧义呀.用英文译应为WHEREDIDYOUCOMEFROM

WHERE ARE YOU FROM
WHERE ARE YOU FROM

WHERE ARE YOU FROM
和咱们古人说的那样,君从何处来?但就这五个字本身也有歧义呀.用英文译应为WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?和英文中的 WHERE ARE YOU FROM 或甚至说成 WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?从我个人语感中认为有所不同 WHERE ARE YOU FROM 的意思应该是你是哪里或是哪国人,而WHERE DO YOU COME FROM 更强调地是问你的出生地.因此别人要是问我 WHERE ARE YOU FROM 我很自然地就回答:I’M FROM SHANGHAI 而问我 WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?我自然会回答:I COME FROM BEIJING,因为I WAS BORN IN BEIJING 如又有人问我,WHERE DID YOU COME FROM 我的回答势必是I CAME FROM MY BEDROOM,那才是我来自我的卧室,因为学过英语都应该知道COME是一个短暂性动词(MOMENTARY VERB)更加强调它的动作之不可延续性,又可以称它为瞬息动词,因此我昨天提过的 I’M FROM CHINA AND I’M CHINESE ,这样颇为滑稽的句子居然出现在初一课本中,这不显得有点荒唐吗?
