■這個(gè)時(shí)態(tài)也可用在某些從句中，這時(shí)從句的動(dòng)作發(fā)生在主句的動(dòng)作之前而對(duì)其有影響：

I heard you’d been looking for me. 我聽說你一直在找我。

That was just the letter I had been expecting. 這正是我一直期待的信。

That was exactly what we had been trying to do. 這正是我們一直想做的事。

I wanted to know what had been going on. 我想知道一直在發(fā)生什么事。

The drive increased the fatigue she had been feeling. 開車增加了她一直感到疲憊感覺。

They said that they had been fighting for their rights all these years. 他們說這些年來他們一直在為他們的權(quán)利而斗爭(zhēng)。

三、特別補(bǔ)充

■凡不能用于進(jìn)行時(shí)的動(dòng)詞均不能有這種時(shí)態(tài)，但動(dòng)詞want (有時(shí)還有wish) 除外。如：

The boy was delighted with his new knife. He had been wanting one for a long time. 男孩對(duì)新小刀很高興。他早就想要一把了。

■過去完成進(jìn)行時(shí)沒有被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。
