亲爱的同学们，是不是还记得小品《小崔说事》呢？想不想尝试用英文来模仿改编呢？ 宋丹丹要出书《月子》，本山大叔揭穿了她，“拉倒吧！憋了那么久，就憋出两字。”
怎样翻译本山大叔的话呢？“You had been writing for such a long time.Only twowords.”或许能把基本意思表达出来。那么，本单元我们就来学习一下过去完成进行时这个时态吧。Ready？ Go！
10.1过去完成进行时概述
1.定义
过去完成进行时与过去完成时的用法很相近，它通常表示某个过去正在进行的动作或状态，持续到 过去某个时刻还未完成，一直持续到之后的当前才结束。
例如：
He was twenty years old.He had been studying English since he was ten.
（He was still studying English at twenty.）
那时他已经20 岁了。他自10 岁起就一直学习英语。（他20 岁的时候还在学习英语。）
2.构成
过去完成进行时的基本构成形式如下：
had been+doing
例如：
I had been suffering from headache when I took the exam.
考试的时候我一直在头痛。
10.2过去完成进行时的含义
（1）动作的尚未完成性。例如：
He had been writing a novel.
（2）未果性。例如：
The scientists had been studying what the UFO was.
(But they were not able to find out.)
（3）情绪性。例如：
What had she been complaining about？（表示一种不耐烦的情绪，但一般情况下不能单独出现，必须与过去时间搭配。）
10.3过去完成进行时的基本用法
（1）表示过去某一时间之前一直进行的动作。过去完成进行时表示动作在过去某一时间之前开始，一直延续到这一过去时间。和过去完成时一样，过去完成进行时也必须以一过去时间为前提。例如：
It had been raining for three days.The fields were all under water.
雨已经下了三天了。田野全都淹没在了水下。

Task 3
找出下面句子的错误之处并改正。
I asked where they had stayed all those days.
我问他们那些天是待在哪儿的。
（4）过去完成进行时之后也可接具有“突然”之意的when 分句。例如：
I had only been reading a few pages when he came in.
我刚看了几页书他就进来了。
Task 4
用所给动词的正确形式补全句子。
I ________________ (sleep) when my friend telephoned me that day.
那天我刚睡了一会儿，我的朋友就给我打来电话。
