摘　　要：事件的瞬成性和非终结性在理论上讲是互相矛盾的。但在英语的实际运用中,句法层面的瞬成动词有时也会表现出非终结性的特点,比如可用于进行体,可被事件结构触发词almost修饰等。瞬成动词的这些非典型用法,可通过对其事件结构的观察来得到合理的解读。具体而言,这种解读可以从两种具有对比性质的视角来进行,即语言内视角与语言外视角、客观视角与主观视角。Theoretically speaking,the achievement of an event is contradictory to its atelicity.In the actual use of English,however,achievement verbs can exhibit the characteristics of atelicity,which find expression in the progressive use of them,as well as the modification by the event structure trigger almost.Such atypical uses of achievement verbs can be interpreted through the observation of their event structure.Specifically,such uses can be explicated from two contrastive perspectives,one from within language vs.from outside language,and the other from objectivity vs.subjectivity.
