1.Sheffield says that, by now, he could be making 50,000 to 100,000 gallons of dispersant a day.

现在完成进行时

have been + ing 是“现在完成进行式”,它表示“一直”“始终”的意思。使用时我们最好注意一下与之相伴的某些词或时间状语。

例如:

· How long have you been writing letters?
你(一直在)写信写了有多长时间啦?

· I've been writing letters for an hour (since three o'clock).
我写了有1个小时了。(从3点钟起就一直在写信。)

这种“一直”就是至今仍然在继续的意思。如果我们说:

· He has been helping her with her homework for months.
( 几个月来他一直在帮助她做家庭作业。)

这句话的内涵是:

·He started to help her with her homework months ago, and he still does.
(几个月之前他开始帮助她做作业,他现在仍然在帮她。)
