文法重點：現在完成進行式

現在完成進行式是由兩個要素構成：

Be 動詞的現在完成式 (have/has been)，加上主要動詞（原型+ing）的現在分詞。

       A: 現在完成式 　句型結構 → have/has + p.p.(過去分詞) 　(代表從過去某個點 (時間不清楚或不重要) 到現在為止的狀態。)

       B: 現在進行式   句型結構 → be + V-ing (現在分詞)  (代表現在正在進行的狀態。)

現在完成進行式的作用：

現在完成進行式涉及過去到現在一段不明確的時間，這動作是已經發生的事，但還沒有結束，強調的是始於過去且當下仍在持續的動作。而且這個過程可能會持續到未來，或者可能才剛結束。

例句：

She has been waiting for you all day (= 而且她現在還在等待).

I've been working on this report since eight o'clock this morning (= 而且我還沒做完).

They have been travelling since last October (= 而且他們還沒回家).

剛結束的動作，但說話者要強調的是這個動作產生的結果，或對現在造成的影響

She has been cooking since last night (= 而且桌上的食物看起來很美味).

It's been raining (= 街道上還是濕的).

Someone's been eating my chips (= 半包沒了).

Way Back into Love 

(by Hugh Grant And Haley Bennett)

Cora:
I've been living with a shadow overhead
總是生活在個陰影之下
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
就寢時總像被雲霧籠罩
I've been lonely for so long
我已孤單好久一段時間了
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
陷落過去裡,就似無法再前行.

Alex:
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
已把所有的希望與夢藏放一旁
Just in case I ever need em again someday
只是預防哪天會再需要它們
I've been setting aside time
不斷告訴自己要轉身離開
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
該把心中角落清出些小空間

Chorus
All I want to do is find a way back into love
所有我想要做的就是重新找回愛
I can't make it through without a way back into love
我無力獨自撐下去,若無法返回重新找到愛
Oh oh oh
喔~喔~喔~

Cora:
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
抬頭瞭望但群星不再耀眼閃爍
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
不停找尋但就看不到那些星座（訊號）
I know that it's out there
我知道真愛總是在
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere
那兒定會有契合我靈魂的人在不遠處

Alex:
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
我一直在尋望某人可以分享傾訴生命光彩
Not somebody just to get me throught the night
而不只是某個人來渡過一夜露水情緣
I could use some direction
我可以跟隨一些指引
And I'm open to your suggestions
而我會對妳的示意敞開心胸

Chorus
All I want to do is find a way back into love
所有我想要的就是重新找回愛
I can't make it through without a way back into love
我無力獨自撐下去,如果我無法返回重新找到愛
And if I open my heart again
而如果我再次敞開我的心防
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
我猜想我會希望你永遠在那為我守候直到最後

Cora:
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
有些時候當我不知道似真似假
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
或者大概每個人都與我想的一樣
I need inspiration
我需要些啟發
Not just another negotiation
不是另一個約法三章

Both:
All I want to do is find a way back into love
所有我想要的就是重新找回愛
I can't make it through without a way back into love
我無力獨自撐下去,若無法返回重新找到愛
And if I open my heart to you
而如果我敞開我的心房只對你
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
我希望你永遠對我表示如何去做
And if you help me to start again
若你願意幫我再次開始
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
你知道的我將會在那裡為你守候直到最後
