问题描述
_______ I finished there,I have been working for a travel agency in my country organizing tours and excursions for tourists from all over the world.
横线上可以用 After 吗？答案是 Since。
老师答疑
蒋老师：
本题应该填 Since，而不宜填 After，这与主句的时态有关。
▲since 的意思是“自从……以来一直……”，与现在完成进行时的用法相吻合（因为该时态用法便是“从过去一直持续到现在”这段时间）。如：
He has been working since noon. 他从中午就开始工作了。
He has been living in Leeds since 1998. 他从 1998 年起就住在利兹。
The nation’s unemployment rate has been climbing steadily since last June. 自去年6月以来，该国的失业率一直在不断上升。
▲而after 的意思是“在……之后”，它并不强调从那以后一直持续到现在，与现在完成时的持续性用法以及现在完成进行时的用法相吻合（因为这两种时态用法便是“从过去一直持续到现在”这段时间）。如：
After I had read the book I could fairly claim to be an expert. 读完这本书，我差不多可以说是专家了。
After she had the baby, she started swimming every day to get back into shape. 生完小孩后，为了恢复体形，她开始每天游泳。
After three weeks had passed and she had still not heard from her daughter, Joan was on the rack. 三个星期过去了，琼还是没收到女儿的信，她急得快发疯了。
陈老师：
【一】从句since+（一般过去式） ，主句+完成式
结构（1）从句：since +时间点，主句：主语+have/has+过去分词
表达含义：主句动作在since从句所表示时间开始 就开始延续
(1)since从属连词：引导时间状语从句，自从...以来/ 自从....以后
Where have you been since I saw you last time? 自从我上次见到你，一直都在哪里？

结构（2）从句：since +时间点，主句：主语+have/has+been+现在分词
表达含义：主句动作在since从句所表示时间开始 就开始一直都在延续进行（更强调动作一直都在进行着）
