Because its leaves remain green long after being picked, rosemary became associated with the idea of remembrance.
请教老师. 为什么句子用的是remain而不是remained呢
Because its leaves remain green long after being picked, rosemary became associated with the idea of remembrance. 从句和主句时态不一致,是因为从句描写客观事实(习惯意义),而主句描写一次性动作(事件意义)。原因从句描写 “采摘后的迷迭香枝叶常绿不衰”,这是客观事实,不受时间影响。而主句是在叙述人们过去曾经的联想,是一次性偶然事件。 这种情况在英语中不多见。
