小王子第五章,两段话中用现在完成时自己的理解

原文:“It is a question of discipline,” the little prince said to me later on. “When
you’ve finished your own toilet in the morning, then it is time to attend to the
toilet of your planet, just so, with the greatest care. You must see to it that
you pull up regularly all the baobabs, at the very first moment when they can
be distinguished from the rosebushes which they resemble so closely in their
earliest youth. It is very tedious work,” the little prince added, “but very easy.”
And one day he said to me: “You ought to make a beautiful drawing, so
that the children where you live can see exactly how all this is. That would
be very useful to them if they were to travel some day. Sometimes,” he added,
“there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day. But when it
is a matter of baobabs, that always means a catastrophe. I knew a planet that
was inhabited by a lazy man. He neglected three little bushes. . . ”
So, as the little prince described it to me, I have made a drawing of that
planet. I do not much like to take the tone of a moralist. But the danger of
the baobabs is so little understood, and such considerable risks would be run by anyone who might get lost on an asteroid, that for once I am breaking through
my reserve. “Children,” I say plainly, “watch out for the baobabs!”
My friends, like myself, have been skirting this danger for a long time, without
ever knowing it; and so it is for them that I have worked so hard over this
drawing. The lesson which I pass on by this means is worth all the trouble it has cost me.

Perhaps you will ask me, “Why is there no other drawing in this book as magnificent and impressive as this drawing of the baobabs?”
The reply is simple. I have tried. But with the others I have not been
successful. When I made the drawing of the baobabs I was carried beyond
myself by the inspiring force of urgent necessity.

 

我的理解,这里have worked…..it has cost….这两个事件用现在完成时,因为这边作者不知道过去事件发生的具体时间。

 

如果是说话人关心的是过去事件导致的结果,该结果体现在现在,不关心过去我认为是不对的,比如I have eaten an apple. 我过去吃完一个苹果,吃完苹果是过去事件,这个事件影响到了现在的我,比如我可能还想吃一个或者太饱了。那么随后一定会加一句I am ful. 或者want another one.所以这个现在时的意义时后面必须会加一句表示对于现在我的影响,影响如何。

参考曹老师解答的《现在完成时的问题》与《曹老师解答的《时间和条件状语从句用现在完成时的问题》自己有二处不是太懂
